Blood cell production. Illustration showing a haematopoietic stem cell (HSC, brown) in the bone marrow. This cell forms the precursors to every type of blood cell, including white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Blood cells are produced constantly by bone marrow as their lifespan is so short - red blood cells, for example, last on average only 120 days before being broken down. | |
