Hematopoiesis is the process of forming new blood cellular elements in vertebrates. It begins with a multipotent stem cell, a hemocytoblast, which gives rise to a common myeloid progenitor cell (CMP). The CMP, in turn, gives rise to granulocyte-monocyte colony forming units (CFU-GM), also called granulocyte-macrophage progenitor. The CFU-GM may partially differentiate into CFU-G (precursor in myelocyte-granulocyte series) or CFU-M (precursor in monocyte-macrophage series). The CFU-GM serves as the precursor for monoblasts and myeloblasts.
In the monocytic series, the monoblast is a precursor cell for promonocyte. The promonocyte matures into a monocyte. The monocyte migrates from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood through diapedesis. In humans, it constitutes the 2% to 10% of the white blood cells in the body. A monocyte is capable of immune functions, such as phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and cytokine production. It may leave the bloodstream and enters the connective tissue spaces.
