Red blood cell production or erythropoiesis occurs in the fetus in the yolk sac, liver, spleen and in adults in the red bone marrow.
The number normally remains stable. There is a negative feedback mechanism involving the hormone erythropoietin, which is produced and secreted by the special cells in the kidney and liver.

∙ 7y agoErythropoiesis is the process of the formation of red blood cells and it occurs when the blood oxygen level falls below the homeostasis level. It is stimulated by hypoxia (i.e. inadequate oxygen delivery) due to decreased number of red blood cells, decreased amount of hemoglobin,and decreased availability of oxygen. The kidneys as well as the liver to a smaller extent will release erythropoietin which will stimulate red bone marrow and enhance erythropoiesis. Enhanced erythropoiesis will increase the number of red blood cells and the oxygen-carrying ability of blood. The blood oxygen level will return to homeostasis level.

What condition triggers erythropoiesis?
Hypoxia in the blood triggers erythropoiesis.
What is the process of making blood called?
erythropoiesis
What is the difference in hemopoiesis and erythropoiesis?
Hemopoiesis is the term used to describe the formation of all blood cells. Erythropoiesis is the term used to describe only the formation of red blood cells.
What role do the kidneys play in erythropoiesis?
the kidneys detect low levels of oxygen in the blood
What name is given to the process of RBC production?
Erythropoiesis is the production of red blood cells.
What condition triggers erythropoiesis?
Hypoxia in the blood triggers erythropoiesis.
Does erythropoiesis require folate?
Erythropoiesis requires B12, Folic acid and iron.
Do hemorrhoids cause erythropoiesis?
No
What does Erythropoiesis not require?
vitamin K
What slows down erythropoiesis?
Anemia
What are the causes of ineffective erythropoiesis?
thalassemia
What are the stimuli for erythropoiesis?
There are three main events that are considered stimuli for erythropoiesis. These are aerobic exercises, living in an environment with a high altitude, and hemorrhages.
What has the author Sanford B Krantz written?
Sanford B. Krantz has written: 'Erythropoietin and the regulation of Erythropoiesis' -- subject(s): Erythropoiesis, Erythropoietin
What is the physiological state of blood that acts as the sitimulus for erythropoiesis?
Erythropoiesis (production of red blood cells) will occur when there are not enough red blood cells (RBCs) in circulation. Therefore the stimulation for erythropoiesis to occur is too few RBCs in the blood, which can be termed 'anaemia'.
What is the process of making blood called?
erythropoiesis
What is the scientific name for blood formation?
Erythropoiesis.
What hormone acts as a stimulus for erythropoiesis?
erythropoietin
