Haematopoiesis
Formation of blood cellular components
Haematopoiesis
Haematopoiesis (; from Ancient Greek αἷμα (haîma) 'blood' and ποιεῖν (poieîn) 'to make'; also hematopoiesis in US English, sometimes h(a)emopoiesis) is the formation of blood cellular components. All cellular blood components are derived from haematopoietic stem cells. A normal adult body produces a daily average of around 200 billion red blood cells (to transport oxygen), 100 billion white blood cells (for the immune system), and 100 billion platelets (for coagulation).
