MICROANATOMY

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. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The human bone marrow is one of the body’s largest organs occupying the central regions of virtually all long and flat bones. Consisting of a mixture of fat and hematopoietic precursor, the marrow typically produces 500 billion mature blood cells daily (Fliedner et al., 2002).

Detailed explanation-3: -It is the blood cell ‘factory’. Healthy bone marrow releases blood cells into the bloodstream when they are mature and when required. Without bone marrow, our bodies could not produce the white cells we need to fight infection, the red blood cells we need to carry oxygen, and the platelets we need to stop bleeding.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your blood is made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts, and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
