Where does hematopoiesis take place, producing new RBCs?
A
red bone marrow
B
yellow bone marrow
C
synovial membrane
D
articular cartilage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Where does hematopoiesis occur? 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: -Red: Red bone marrow produces blood cells (hematopoiesis). Stem cells in your red bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells) create red and white blood cells and platelets, all of which are components of your whole blood. Yellow: Yellow bone marrow stores fat.

Detailed explanation-3: -After birth, and during early childhood, hematopoiesis occurs in the red marrow of the bone. With age, hematopoiesis becomes restricted to the skull, sternum, ribs, vertebrae, and pelvis. Yellow marrow, comprised of fat cells, replaces the red marrow and limits its potential for hematopoiesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -In humans, hematopoiesis begins in the yolk sac and transitions into the liver temporarily before finally establishing definitive hematopoiesis in the bone marrow and thymus. Experiments with human embryos confirm observations in the hemangioblast, a common precursor for endothelial and hematopoietic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hematopoiesis is the production of all of the cellular components of blood and blood plasma. It occurs within the hematopoietic system, which includes organs and tissues such as the bone marrow, liver, and spleen. Simply, hematopoiesis is the process through which the body manufactures blood cells.
