Why is baby born with more white blood cells?
Red blood count is higher in infants as compared in adults. This is probably so because the growth in infants is very fast. Infants gain three times weight in first year of his life. By the second year the weight gain is only 20 %. So infants need more oxygen carrying capacity in the blood. That is why RBC count is more in infants as compared to adults.
Describe in detail the site of blood formation in foetus and adults?
In the fetus, blood formation occurs mainly in the liver and spleen during the early stages of development and later shifts to the bone marrow. In adults, blood formation primarily takes place in the red bone marrow of the axial skeleton (such as the sternum, ribs, vertebrae, and pelvis) and proximal epiphyses of the long bones (such as the femur and humerus). The bone marrow contains stem cells that differentiate into various blood cell types, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Where does blood formation occur in adults?
Blood formation, or hematopoiesis, primarily occurs in the bone marrow of adults. The bone marrow contains stem cells that can differentiate into various blood cell types, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In certain situations, such as severe blood loss or specific medical conditions, blood cell production can also occur in other organs like the liver or spleen.

What is blood pressure not measured routinely for infants and toddlers?
Blood pressure is not routinely measured in infants and toddlers because it is not common for them to have high blood pressure. It would be monitored if there was a reason to do so or if the child was hospitalized but you're right in that it is not a common part of a routine checkup for infants and toddlers.
Where are red blood cells produced after birth?
Red blood cells are primarily produced in the bone marrow of adults, including the vertebrae, ribs, sternum, and pelvis. In infants, red blood cells are also generated in the liver and spleen before shifting to the bone marrow as they grow.
Does hemostasis means blood formation?
Hemostasis means control of blood flow. Hematopoeisis means blood formation.
What is the difference between blood clot formation and the process of blood agglutination?
what is the difference between blood clot formation and the process of blood agglutination
What is blood cell formation called?
Hematopoiesis is the general term meaning blood cell formation. Erythropoiesis is specifically the formation of red blood cells. Lymphopoiesis is specifically the formation of Lymphoid cells (types of white blood cells). Myelopoiesis is specifically the formation of myelocytes (immature forms of white blood cells).
Can infants get HIV?
Some babies are born with HIV as their mothers were positive. Infants could get HIV by receiving a transfusion of infected blood.
What is the medical term formation of blood clot?
Coagulation and thrombosis both refer to the formation of blood clots.
