Striated Muscle - A form of fibres that are combined into parallel fibres, more specifically,
it can refer to skeletal muscle
Striated muscle is sometimes used to refer exclusively to skeletal muscle when distinguishing
it from smooth muscle.
Thrombopoietin (leukemia virus oncogene ligand, megakaryocyte growth and development
factor), also known as TPO, is a glycoprotein hormone produced mainly by the liver
and the kidney that regulates the production of platelets by the bone marrow. It
stimulates the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow
cells that fragment into large numbers of platelets.
In the liver it is produced by parenchymal cells and sinusoidal endothelial cells.
In the kidney it is made by proximal convoluted tubule cells.
Along with these it is made by striated muscle and stromal cells in the bone marrow.
