    GlossaryHematopoiesis (Blood cell production)

    process of producing blood cells in bone marrow

    Hematopoiesis, also known as blood cell formation, is the process by which the body produces blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This process primarily occurs in the bone marrow, where stem cells differentiate and mature into various types of blood cells essential for carrying oxygen, fighting infections, and clotting blood.
