BASIC OF LIFE: BLOOD PART 4- Haemopoiesis

-
Image
Haemopoiesis Haemopoiesis is the production of the formed elements of blood. Haemopoietic tissues refer to the tissues that produce blood. The earliest haemopoietic tissue to develop is the yolk sac, which also functions in the transfer of yolk nutrients of the embryo. In the foetus, blood cells are produced by the bone marrow, liver, spleen and thymus. This changes during and after birth. The liver stops producing blood cells around the time of birth, while the spleen stops producing them soon after birth but continues to produce lymphocytes for life. From infancy onwards, all formed elements are produced in the red bone marrow. Lymphocytes are additionally produced in lymphoid tissues and organs widely distributed in the body, including the thymus, tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen and patches of lymphoid tissues in the intestine. Erythropoesis Erythropoiesis refers specifically to the production of erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs). These are formed through the following
