Question

Hematopoiesis from 4/5 months before birth - birth - death taking place where?

A. Liver
B. Bone marrow
C. Spleen
D. Thymus

Answer 1

Hematopoiesis occurs in the red bone marrow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hematopoiesis, the process of blood cell formation, occurs in a tissue called red bone marrow. Prior to birth, it occurs in the yolk sac of the developing embryo, and continues in the fetal liver, spleen, lymphatic tissue, and eventually the red bone marrow. Following birth, most hematopoiesis occurs in the red marrow, which is found inside some bones, including the pelvis, ribs, and vertebrae. The red bone marrow synthesizes red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
