Red blood cells, in order to store more hemoglobin to carry oxygen, don't have a nucleus that can make repairs. So red blood cells only last, on average, 120 days. Because they constantly need to be reproduced and your bones, believe it or not, are very well vascularized, it seems like a pretty good place to store the marrow to make more red blood cells.

∙ 8y agoAll the blood cells are produced in the bone marrow But not all bones do that. Bones that do make blood cells include bigger longer bones, like the humerus and femur.

Where are RBC produced in body during fetal and adult life?
in the early weeks of embryonic life,primitive., nucleated red blood cells are produced in the yolk sac.during the middle trimester of gestation,the liver s main organ for production of red blood cells but reasonable number are also produced in the spleen and lymph nodes.then during the last month or so of gestation and after birth red blood cells are produced exclusively in the bone marrow.the bone marrow of essentially all bones produces red blood cells untill a person is 5 years old.the marrrow of long bones,except for proximal portions of the humeri and tibiae,becomes quiet fatty and produces no more red blood cells after about age 20 years.beyond this age,most red cells continue to be produced in marrow of membranous bones,such as vertebrae,sternum,ribs and ilia.even in these bones,the marrow becomes less productive as age increases
What organ system is responsible for the production of blood cells?
Some bones of the skeletal system made blood cells. Red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of bones. Stem cells in the red bone marrow called hemocytoblasts give rise to all of the formed elements in blood. If a hemocytoblast commits to becoming a cell called a proerythroblast, it will develop into a new red blood cell.The formation of a red blood cell from hemocytoblast takes about 2 days. The body makes about two million red blood cells every second.

Importance of red morrow in human bones?

Where are red blood produced?
Red blood cells begin their production the red marrow of certain bones, like long bones such a as the femur (thigh bone).
What substances are in the center of bones?
In the center of long bones is the bone marrow, where red blood cells are produced.
What is the process called by which red blood cells are produced?
Your kidney produces the hormone called as erythropoietin. This hormone is produced when kidneys get less oxygen. Under the influence of this hormone, the red bone marrow produce the red blood cells.
Are red blood cells produced in the heart?
No, red blood cells are not produced in the heart.
How are red blood cells produced?
Red blood cells are made in the red bone marrow in bones. They transport oxygen to the tissues for carbon dioxide.

What are the spongy bones functions?
Both red and white blood cells are produced in the spongy bone marrow.
Where are red blood cells produced from 5 years to 20 years of age?
