  2. Erythropoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoiesis

    By the third or fourth month, erythropoiesis moves to the liver. [3] After seven months, erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. Increased levels of physical activity can cause an increase in erythropoiesis. [4] However, in humans with certain diseases and in some animals, erythropoiesis also occurs outside the bone marrow, within the spleen ...

  3. Heliotropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliotropism

    Heliotropism, a form of tropism, is the diurnal or seasonal motion of plant parts (flowers or leaves) in response to the direction of the Sun. The habit of some plants to move in the direction of the Sun, a form of tropism, was already known by the Ancient Greeks. They named one of those plants after that property Heliotropium, meaning "sun turn".

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleated_red_blood_cell

    NRBCs are normally found in the bone marrow of humans of all ages and in the blood of fetuses and newborn infants. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] After infancy, RBCs normally contain a nucleus only during the very early stages of the cell's life, and the nucleus is ejected as a normal part of cellular differentiation before the cell is released into the bloodstream.

    The plant's toxicity has led to the U.S. FDA officially declaring it to be unsafe. Arum maculatum: cuckoo-pint, lords and ladies, jack-in-the-pulpit, wake robin, wild arum, devils and angels, cows and bulls, Adam and Eve, bobbins, starch-root Araceae: All parts of the plant are highly toxic to humans and most animals.

  7. Extramedullary hematopoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extramedullary_hematopoiesis

    These hematopoietic stem cells are further closely associated with endothelial cells throughout human life. Later, they migrate to the fetal liver where the majority of physiologic EMH (extra-medullary hematopoiesis) takes place. They can also migrate to the spleen and lymph nodes where hematopoiesis can occur, but to a lesser degree.

  8. Erythropoietic protoporphyria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoietic_protoporphyria

    Erythropoietic protoporphyria (or commonly called EPP) is a form of porphyria, which varies in severity and can be very painful.It arises from a deficiency in the enzyme ferrochelatase, leading to abnormally high levels of protoporphyrin in the red blood cells (erythrocytes), plasma, skin, and liver. [2]

  9. Erythropoietin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoietin

    Erythropoietin (/ ɪ ˌ r ɪ θ r oʊ ˈ p ɔɪ. ɪ t ɪ n,-r ə-,-p ɔɪ ˈ ɛ t ɪ n,-ˈ iː t ɪ n /; [1] [2] [3] EPO), also known as erythropoetin, haematopoietin, or haemopoietin, is a glycoprotein cytokine secreted mainly by the kidneys in response to cellular hypoxia; it stimulates red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in the bone marrow.
