Descriptor reticulocitos
Scope note: ERITROCITOS inmaduros. En los seres humanos, estos son células eritroides que apenas sufrieron extrusión de su NÚCLEO CELULAR. Aún contienen algunas organelas que gradualmente disminuyen en número mientras las células maduran. Los RIBOSOMAS son los últimos en desaparecer. Ciertas técnicas de tinción causan que componentes de los ribosomas precipiten formando un característico "retículo" (no es lo mismo que el retículo endoplasmático), de ahí el nombre de reticulocitos.

Scope note: Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes.
