Orthochromatophilic Erythtoblast

The orthochromatophilic erythroblast is one of the erythrocyte precursors. In contrast to the less differentiated stages, it has an even smaller and densely condensed nucleus with a completely lumpy chromatin, the cell itself is only slightly larger than the mature erythrocyte. A large amount of hemoglobin in the cytoplasm conditions its eosinophilia, which is the same as its mature erythrocyte. The orthochromatophilic erythroblast can no longer divide. At this stage, the nucleus is enucleated - that is, the nucleus is expelled out of the cell.
