Compartmental architecture and dynamics during normal haematopoiesis. The schema provides a summary of the number of cells at the various stages of differentiation from stem cells to the post-mitotic pool. Cells in adjacent compartments may be morphologically and functionally similar but require a cell division to move from one compartment to the next as they become more differentiated. In the process they replicate faster and remain in subsequent compartments for shorter time intervals (y-axes on the left). The blue dots represent to the average time that a cell will remain in that compartment.
