Abstract

The production of blood and immune cells is a continuous process throughout life and essential for the existence of any individual human being. This process is referred to as HEMATOPOIESIS (from the Greek hematos, blood, and poiein, to generate) and includes the generation of three major cell lineages: (1) ERYTHROCYTES (red cells) that transport oxygen, (2) THROMBOCYTES (platelets) that mediate blood clotting, and (3) LEUKOCYTES (white blood cells) that function in host defense and consist of various types of GRANULOCYTES, LYMPHOCYTES, and MONOCYTES. The major site of HEMATOPOIESIS is the BONE MARROW, but it can occur at other (extramedullary) locations as well.
