The term '''myeloid''' suggests an origin in the [[bone marrow]] or [[spinal cord]], or a resemblance to the marrow or spinal cord.
In [[hematopoiesis]], the term "[[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 [[axon]]s of many [[neurons]].
