Erythrocytes and Leukocytes are produced in the ____
A
bone marrow
B
kidney
C
liver
D
stomach
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inside the bone marrow, blood stem cells divide and mature to make new blood cells. During this process, the cells become either lymphocytes (a kind of white blood cell) or other blood-forming cells. These other blood-forming cells mature into red blood cells, white blood cells (other than lymphocytes), or platelets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Erythropoiesis is red blood cell (erythrocyte) production. Your bone marrow makes most of your red blood cells. Once they’re fully mature, they’re released into your bloodstream, where they transport oxygen throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the spongy material in the center of the bones that makes all types of blood cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -White blood cells are produced by bone marrow and their levels of production are regulated by organs such as the spleen, liver, and kidneys. Granulocytes and agranulocytes are the two types of white blood cells or leukocytes. Granulocytes contain granules or sacs in their cytoplasm and agranulocytes do not.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bone marrow produces red blood cells that carry oxygen, white blood cells that prevent infection and platelets that control bleeding. The absence of bone marrow can be fatal since it’s an essential part of your body.
