Each objective below describes a competency you will apply at the bench, not rote definitions in isolation.

  • Outline myeloid versus lymphoid lineage branches from HSC
  • Identify mature cell products of each branch
  • Distinguish common progenitor concepts (CMP, CLP) without duplicating maturation detail
  • Relate lineage assignment to smear identification categories
