Detailed explanation-2: -Bone marrow makes stem cells, which produce platelets and white and red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bone marrow is spongy tissue in the middle of certain bones. Most blood cells are made in your bone marrow. This process is called haemopoiesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The bone marrow normally produces mature red blood cells and the hemoglobin in these cells carry oxygen to the tissues in your body. The percentage of red blood cells in the total blood volume is called the hematocrit. In healthy women the hematocrit is 36% to 46% while in healthy men the hematocrit is 40% to 52%.

Detailed explanation-5: -The bone marrow produces stem cells, the building blocks that the body uses to make the different blood cells – red cells, white cells and platelets. The erythropoietin sends a message to the stem cells telling more of them to develop into red blood cells, rather than white cells or platelets.
