| Definition |
After a stem cell becomes a committed precursor/progenitor for a certain cell line, a period elapses when histology, without immunostaining, cannot identify the line. Later, perceptible morphological changes make the cell a recognizable precursor, say a pro-erythroblast. Thereafter, the development of the cell is divided into named stages, each based on a significant change in appearance from the previous stage.

Transferrin is the plasma protein which delivers iron to erythroid cells through an interaction with specific membrane transferrin receptors, which are particularly numerous in committed precursors.
