What is another word for erythroblast?
Pronunciation: [ˈɜːɹɪθɹˌɒblast] (IPA) 
Erythroblasts are immature red blood cells, specifically the precursor to the mature erythrocyte. Some synonyms for erythroblast include nucleated red blood cells, erythrocyte precursor, normoblast, and rubriblast. Nucleated red blood cells are erythroblasts that have not yet lost their nucleus, unlike mature erythrocytes. Erythrocyte precursor refers to the fact that erythroblasts are the precursor cells of erythrocytes. Normoblast is a subtype of erythroblast that is characterized by its smaller size and larger nucleus.
