The erythrocyte is perhaps the world's single best known cell, an
opinion affirmed by its inseparable linkage with the French
expression "Le sang c'est la vie" (i.e., Blood is life). The red
cell made its debut in a few invertebrates and thereupon conducted
a conceptual phylogenetic odyssey through the Classes of
poikilothermic vertebrates, onward to the first homeotherms the
avians, and thereafter to the mammals including man. The
erythrocyte presents morphologic, cytochemical and quantitative
adaptations as it progresses through its evolutionary continuum.
The specific objective of this text is to explore in depth the
cytology of the erythrocyte in birds. It is intended to derive an
understanding of the red cell's diverse aspects as presented among
Orders, Families and Genera of avians. Illustrative of the subjects
that are explored are the light microscopy and ulrastructure of the
maturational sequence of the erythrocyte from proerythroblast to
the mature cell, the quantitative representation of the erythroid
progenitors in hemopoietic bone marrow, and the relationship of
erythropoiesis with the vascular sinuses in the bone marrow.
Sections are devoted to the quail-chick chimera and the insight it
offers, erythroleukemia, embryologic considerations, primitive and
definitive generation erythrocytes, rbc life span, the impact of
sporozoan parasitization upon the erythrocellular profile and the
morphology associated with pathologic agents and conditions. A
major segment of the monograph is a taxonomically organized Table
of Erythrogramic Data (primary source-cited, and when derived,
indicators of significant differences between sexes, physiologic
and experimental conditions).
