Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common site of blood cell production is the spongy tissue inside of your bones called bone marrow. Hematopoiesis that occurs in your bone marrow is called medullary hematopoiesis. Blood cells get made in your bone marrow and released into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bone marrow is responsible for hematopoiesis, or the production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Detailed explanation-3: -The circulating blood cells are formed in bone marrow through a process called hematopoiesis. The bone marrow has an enormous production capacity; it is estimated that 1010 erythrocytes and 108 to 109 leukocytes are produced per hour in the steady state.

Detailed explanation-4: -In mammals, hematopoiesis commences in the fetal liver before birth. At the very near the delivery, the source of all blood cells, namely the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), migrates from the fetal liver to the bone marrow (BM) located inside the bone tissue.
