Detailed explanation-1: -Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy material in the center of the bones. It produces about 95% of the body’s blood cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of bones. Stem cells in the red bone marrow are called hemocytoblasts. They give rise to all of the formed elements in blood. If a stem cell commits to becoming a cell called a proerythroblast, it will develop into a new red blood cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most blood cells are made in your bone marrow. This process is called haemopoiesis. In children, haemopoiesis takes place in the long bones, like the thighbone (femur). In adults, it’s mostly in the spine (vertebrae) and hips, ribs, skull and breastbone (sternum).

Detailed explanation-4: -Long bones contain yellow bone marrow and red bone marrow, which produce blood cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your body needs iron and other nutrients to make hemoglobin and healthy red blood cells. So it’s important to get a regular supply of iron as well as vitamin B12, folate, and protein. You can get these nutrients by eating a balanced diet or taking dietary supplements.
