Genesis of RBC
Growth and reproduction of different
stem cells
– Controlled by multiple protein (growth
inducers)
interleukin 3
Promote growth and reproduction of all
different stem cells
Differentiation inducers
– Cause one stem cell to differentiate into
one or two stages towards adult form

Genesis of RBC
The formation of growth inducers &
differentiation inducers
– Controlled by other factors
erythropoeitin in case of RBC
In case of some WBC
– Infectious diseases cause growth,
differentiation and formation of specific
types of WBC
– Rate of production of
erythropoeitin increases
Erythropoeitin is produced mainly by
the kidneys (90%)
The remaining amount is produced in
some other tissue (liver)
Plasma Erythopoietin
Production of RBC by
Bone marrow

Haemoglobin
The most common type of heamoglobin
– Haemoglobin A (Hb A)
Formed by a combination of 2 chains and 2
chains
Others
– Haemoglobin A2 (Hb A2)
Formed by a combination of 2 chains and 2
chains
– Fetal haemoglobin (Hb F)
Formed by combination of 2 chains and 2 chains
