Leukopoiesis, or the production of WBCs, is stimulated by chemical messengers. These messengers are glycoproteins that fall into interleukins or CSFs which stimulates production of granulocytes. Hematopoietic factors prompt WBCs to mature and divide

Why do you think there are so many erythrocytes then leukocytes?

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, outnumber leukocytes, or white blood cells, because their primary function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs, which requires a large volume to meet the body's metabolic needs. Additionally, erythrocytes have a lifespan of about 120 days and are continually produced in the bone marrow, whereas leukocytes are produced in smaller quantities as needed for immune response and have shorter lifespans. This balance ensures efficient oxygen delivery while maintaining an effective immune system.
