myeloid cells
Bone marrow offspring
Myeloid cells are a class of blood cells that originate in bone marrow, including red blood cells, platelets, and most white blood cells except lymphocytes.
The term appears in medical contexts discussing blood disorders, immune function, and cancers like leukemia: The patient's myeloid cell count was abnormally elevated.
Myeloid contrasts with lymphoid, the other major lineage of blood cells.
