Myeloid tissue Is the bone marrow Why we discuss myeloid tissue/bone marrow? – because we want to study the development of blood cells. We called it HEMOPOEISIS/HEMATOPEISIS HEMOPEISIS/HEMATOPOEISIS –Blood cell formation (occurs in the bone group) Why study this? Because: there is a continuous replacement of cells they have short life span when they are in the peripheral circulation so‚ we have to study how these cells mature and differentiate Phases of hematopoeisis MESOBLASTIC PHASE

How the structure of proteins are related to their functions Rachel Morris The basic building blocks of proteins are amino acids‚ the biuret reaction tests for protein. A solution of sodium hydroxide is added to a sample then a few drops of copper sulphate solution‚ if positive – the solution will turn mauve. There are 20 different amino acids and they can be joined in any order. Therefore there can be many different functions. A protein consists of one or more polypeptide chains (a polypeptide
