What marrow produces blood cells?
The kind of marrow that produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets is red marrow which is found in the bones.
Where is marrow found and what does it do?
Marrow is found in your bones, if a person has a certain kind of cancer they can have a bone marrow transplant from another person, usually someone who realted to them. In adults, it produces more blood cells.
How does the blood maintain homeostasis?
I think pumping the heart I actually forgot so yeah.......
Blood cells are produced in?
The production of blood cells is called hematopoeisis, and it is the process by which all the different blood cells are formed from a single kind of hematopoeitic stem cell. All of the body's blood cells start out in medullary portion of bone--the marrow--except in some fetal stages and in some disease states, where blood cells can be produced in the liver and spleen (this is called extramedullary hematopoeisis). Most of the cells produced in the bone marrow mature into their final forms in the bone marrow, but some white blood cells finish maturation in the thymus. The stem cells and their progeny (daughter cells) receive various stimuli in the form of chemicals that contact them that "push" them in the direction of forming whatever blood cells the body happens to need.
How does the body get blood cells?
When the body needs a specific type of blood cell, the bone marrow uses its stockpile of stem cells to produce the kind of mature cells needed
Which kind of specialized white blood cells produces antibodies coded to destroy specific antigens?
`Plasma cells
How do increase blood flow in your body?
The blood is created in the bone marrow, or rather the red blood cells are created by hematopoetic stem cells. however, there are MANY different kinds of cells in your blood, and getting them "matured" happens in many different places throughout your body, including the spleen, lymph system, Blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, a jellylike substance inside the bones that is composed of, among other things, fat, blood, and special cells that turn into the various kinds of blood cells. In children, the marrow of most of the bones produces blood. But in adults, only the marrow of certain bones -- the spine, ribs, pelvis, and some others -- continues to make blood. Bone marrow that actively produces blood cells is called red marrow, and bone marrow that no longer produces blood cells is called yellow marrow.All blood cells come from the same kind of stem cell, which has the potential to turn into any kind of blood cell. These stem cells are called pluripotential hematopoietic stem cells.As the blood cells develop from the stem cells in the marrow, they seep into the blood that passes through the bones and on into the bloodstream. The different kinds of blood cells have different "life spans" -- red blood cells last about 120 days in the bloodstream; platelets about 10 days; and the various kinds of white blood cells can last anywhere from days to years.The body has a feedback system that tells it when to make new red blood cells. If bodily oxygen levels are low (as they would be if there are too few red blood cells circulating), the kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin, which stimulates the stem cells in the marrow to produce more red blood cells.
What kind of disorder is treated with a bone marrow transplant?
Illnesses where the body has trouble making new blood cells
What kind of illnesses could be effectively treated with a bone marrow?
Illnesses where the body has touble making new blood cells
What kind of bones make blood?
Bone marrow. Bone marrow is where blood cells are created. Only long bones (with the "hole" in the center) have bone marrow in them. So leg bones and arm bones make blood cells, but rib bones or skull bones do not. So those short, solid, irregular-shaped bones do not create blood cells.
What kind of illness could be effectively treated with bone marrow transplant?
Illnesses where the body has touble making new blood cells
Why does anemia or thrombocytopenia develop in patients with leukemia?
Hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. Leukemia is a kind of blood or bone marrow cancer which disrupts regular function and production of blood cells. A person with leukemia can not produce regular, healthy blood cells and that's why this person develop anemia.
