Cord blood contains all the normal elements of blood-red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. But it is also rich in hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells, similar to those found in bone marrow. This is why cord blood can be used for transplantation as an alternative to bone marrow.
Explain to students that hematopoietic stem cells can be found in umbilical cord blood, or âcord bloodâ for short. Instruct them on the importance of stem cells, the different types of stem cells, where they can be found, and the lineages of stem cells.
