 Hematopoiesis: the formation of blood cells

•Hematopoiesis is the process that generates blood cells of

all lineages.

•Calculations based on the blood volume and the level and

half-life of each type of blood cell in the circulation
indicate that each day an adult produces ~ 200 billion
erythrocytes, 100 billion leukocytes, and 100 billion
platelets.

•These rates can increase by a factor of 10 or more when

the demand for blood cells increases.
