Study Notes
Erythropoiesis: Production of Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
- In certain conditions, RBC production increases in the liver, lymph nodes, and spleen.
- The yellow marrow in bones becomes activated, loses fat, and transforms into red marrow to produce RBCs.
- RBC production originates from primitive stem cells, which differentiate into haemocytoblasts (blood cells).
- Haemocytoblasts give rise to proerythroblasts and can also produce other cells, such as White Blood Cells (WBCs).
- Proerythroblasts develop into early normoblasts, which are large cells with many nucleoli and little cytoplasm.
- Early normoblasts (which only stain basic) mature into intermediate normoblasts (which stain acidic or basic dye).
- Stem cells in the bone marrow serve as building blocks for RBC production.
- The process of erythropoiesis involves the transformation of stem cells into RBCs through a series of developmental stages.

Description
Test your knowledge of the production of red blood cells with this quiz. Explore the process of RBC production in the liver, lymph nodes, and spleen, and understand the conditions that trigger increased RBC production. This quiz covers the activation of yellow marrow and its transformation into red marrow for RBC production, along with the differentiation of primitive stem cells into haemocytoblasts.
