Hemopoiesis. Definition. noun. A biological process in which new blood cells are formed, and is usually taking place in the bone marrow. Supplement. All cellular components of the blood came from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) located in the marrow. The HSCs have the ability to give rise to all of the different mature blood cell types, such as erythrocytes, T cells, B cells, granulocytes, megakaryocytes, macrophages.
Erythropoietin (EPO), also known as hematopoietin or hemopoietin, is a glycoprotein cytokine secreted by the kidney in response to cellular hypoxia; it stimulates red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in the bone marrow. Low levels of EPO (around 10 mU/mL) are constantly secreted sufficient to compensate for normal red blood cell turnover.
