The map includes 83 â or nearly 4 percent â of the 2,106 mosques in the United States as of 2010. Mosques from Clarion Projectâs list were excluded if TheDCNF could not verify their addresses. These include Islamist communes like Islamberg in New York. Several mosques on the Clarion Projectâs list stand out. Dar al-Hijrah, located just outside Washington in Falls Chruch, Virginia, for example, was the place of worship for two of the 9/11 hijakers.
Platelets are derived from bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes. Megakaryocytes are huge cells that break into fragments to form platelets. These cell fragments have no nucleus but do contain structures called granules.
This area contains immature blood cells, fat cells, white blood cells (macrophages and plasma cells), and thin, branching fibers of reticular connective tissue. While all blood cells are derived from bone marrow, some white blood cells mature in other organs such as the spleen, lymph nodes, and thymus gland.The major function of bone marrow is to generate blood cells. Bone marrow contains two main types of stem cells. Red marrow contains hematopoietic stem cells that produce two other types of stem cells: myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells. 2  These cells develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. 3  Myeloid Stem Cells-develop into red blood cells, platelets, or myeloblast cells.
