Erythropoiesis (eyrth=red, poiesis=production of) is the production of red blood cells.

It occurs in the red bone marrow of flat bones and the heads of some long bones (sternum, rib, pelvis, vertebrae) in adulthumans.

Intrauterine (human) it occurs in yolk sac, spleen, liver, lymph nodes, and red bone marrow.
