In a healthy adult person, approximately 10 11 –10 12 new blood cells are produced daily in order to maintain steady state levels in the peripheral circulation. [7] [8] All blood cells are divided into three lineages. [9] Red blood cells, also called erythrocytes, are the oxygen-carrying cells. Erythrocytes are functional and are released ...
Diagram showing the development of different blood cells from haematopoietic stem cell to mature cells. Haematopoiesis (/ h ɪ ˌ m æ t ə p ɔɪ ˈ iː s ɪ s, ˌ h iː m ə t oʊ-, ˌ h ɛ m ə-/; [1] [2] from Ancient Greek αἷμα (haîma) 'blood' and ποιεῖν (poieîn) 'to make'; also hematopoiesis in American English, sometimes h(a)emopoiesis) is the formation of blood cellular ...
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the stem cells [1] that give rise to other blood cells.This process is called haematopoiesis. [2] In vertebrates, the first definitive HSCs arise from the ventral endothelial wall of the embryonic aorta within the (midgestational) aorta-gonad-mesonephros region, through a process known as endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition.

A blood cell (also called a hematopoietic cell, hemocyte, or hematocyte) is a cell produced through hematopoiesis and found mainly in the blood. Major types of blood cells include red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
Bone marrow is a semi-solid tissue found within the spongy (also known as cancellous) portions of bones. [2] In birds and mammals, bone marrow is the primary site of new blood cell production (or haematopoiesis). [3]
Blood accounts for 7% of the human body weight, [9] [10] with an average density around 1060 kg/m 3, very close to pure water's density of 1000 kg/m 3. [11] The average adult has a blood volume of roughly 5 litres (11 US pt) or 1.3 gallons, [ 10 ] which is composed of plasma and formed elements .
Fatty acid beta-oxidation has been shown to influence fate decisions in HSCs. [11] In contrast, proliferative HSCs primarily depend on oxidative phosphorylation. This switch is accompanied by an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and increased anabolic activity in cells [ 3 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ]
