hemopoeesi
Hemopoiesis is the process by which the body produces blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It occurs primarily in the bone marrow, where stem cells differentiate into various types of blood cells. This process is crucial for maintaining the body's immune system, oxygen transport, and blood clotting.
Hemopoiesis begins with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into
Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are produced from erythroid progenitors and are responsible for transporting oxygen
Hemopoiesis is tightly regulated by various growth factors and cytokines, which control the proliferation, differentiation, and
In addition to the bone marrow, hemopoiesis can also occur in other tissues, such as the liver
