The term 'myeloid' suggests an origin in the
bone marrow or
spinal cord, or a resemblance to the marrow or spinal cord.
In
hematopoiesis, "myeloid cell" is used to describe any
leukocyte that is not a
lymphocyte. This terminology is frequently seen when classifying cancers, especially
leukemia.
It should not be confused with "
myelin", which is an insulating layer covering the
axons of many
neurons.
