A promegakaryocyte is a precursor cell for a megakaryocyte. It arises from a megakaryoblast, into a promegakaryocyte and then into a megakaryocyte, which will eventually break off and become a platelet.

Promegakaryocyte's and other precursor cells to megakaryocytes arise from pluripotential hematopoietic progenitors. The megakaryoblast is then produced, followed by the promegakaryocyte, the granular megakaryocyte, and then the mature megakaryocyte. When it is in it's promegakaryocyte stage, it is considered an undifferentiated cell.

Megakaryocyte pieces will eventually break off and begin circulating the body as platelets. Platelets are very important because of their role in blood clotting, immune response, and the formation of new blood vessels.

Lead section:


 * The lead includes information that is not focused in the article (megakaryocyte)
 * Megakaryocytes are somewhat related to the article but should be mentioned in later paragraphs
 * It's lacking in detail, not enough general information

Content:


 * One reference is from 1956 - should be updated
 * A lot of content missing
 * Size
 * Description
 * General role and function
 * More about what cells come before/after it

Sources and References


 * Not all facts are backed up
 * Only three references
 * One of the sources is from 1956 - needs to be updated
 * The links don't lead you to the article easily
 * There are better sources available to back up these facts

Organization and Writing Quality


 * The article is easy to read, but needs more

Images and Media


 * Includes one image, but there's no description of what it looks like so it isn't really related to the article
