Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Blood cell formation occurs in the red bone marrow, a process called ____
A
fibrinolysis
B
syneresis
C
hematopoiesis
D
erythrocytosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hematopoiesis that occurs in your bone marrow is called medullary hematopoiesis. Blood cells get made in your bone marrow and released into your bloodstream. Less often, hematopoiesis takes place in other parts of your body, like your liver and spleen.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. The formation of a red blood cell takes about 2 days.

Detailed explanation-3: -In adults, hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow-the central cavity of your bones. Hematopoiesis starts with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), proliferative and multipotent cells that are located in specialized bone marrow regions called ‘niches’.
