Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of bones. Stem cells in the red bone marrow are called hemocytoblasts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bone marrow makes the components of your blood that you need to survive. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The marrow is currently well defined as the seedbed of our blood, producing 200 billion red cells, 10 billion white cells, and 400 billion platelets on a daily basis.
