RBC and WBC from the bone marrow to the vascular system

  The image above illustrates the process of hematopoiesis in the bone marrow, depicting how stem cells differentiate into various types of blood cells including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It shows the progression from pluripotent stem cells through various stages of differentiation, leading to the mature forms of each cell type, with labels for the main stages of cell differentiation. This provides a clear, educational overview of how blood cells are formed from stem cells in the bone marrow. Red blood cells (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs) originate from stem cells in the bone marrow through a complex process known as hematopoiesis. Once they are formed, these cells enter the bloodstream to perform their respective functions throughout the body. The process of how these cells move from the bone marrow into the vascular system involves several steps: Hematopoiesis : This is the process by which stem cells in the bone marrow differentiate into vari...
