Composite image showing stages of agranulopoiesis and lymphopoiesis. On the left, a myeloid progenitor cell differentiates into a monocyte, depicted as a large cell with an indented nucleus. In the center, a megakaryocyte, a large pink-stained cell with a multilobed nucleus, gives rise to small thrombocytes (platelets). On the right, a lymphoid progenitor cell differentiates into two smaller round cells: a T-cell and a B-cell, both with dense, dark-stained nuclei and minimal cytoplasm. Black arrows indicate the direction of differentiation for each lineage. The image illustrates the development of agranulocytes and lymphocytes from progenitor cells.
