Red blood cell production, also called erythropoiesis, is mainly stimulated by a protein hormone called erythropoietin (EPO). Other factors, including cytokines like the colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are also important.

What name is given to the process of RBC production?

In a cell information that controls the production of proteins must pass from the nucleus to the?

The information that controls the production of proteins must pass from the nucleus into the cytoplasm in the form of mRNA. mRNA is a template copy of the DNA inside the nucleus and is read by ribosomes in the cytoplasm to produce proteins.


DNA controls production of?

DNA controls the production of proteins in a cell through a process called protein synthesis. During this process, DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into proteins by cellular machinery. The sequence of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein being produced.


What is the hormone that stimulates RBC formation?

The production of red blood cells is stimulated by erythropoietin, which is produced in the kidneys.The production of white blood cells is stimulated by mainly colony-stimulating factor, which is produced by endothelial cells and marrow fibroblasts.The production of platelets is stimulated by thrombopoietin, which is produced in the liver and kidneys.


What is the significance of RBC in lab results?

RBC (red blood cell) count is a measure of the number of red blood cells in the blood. It provides information about a person's oxygen-carrying capacity and overall blood health. Abnormalities in RBC count can indicate conditions such as anemia or polycythemia.
