The production of blood cells is called hematopoeisis, and it is the process by which all the different blood cells are formed from a single kind of hematopoeitic stem cell. All of the body's blood cells start out in medullary portion of bone--the marrow--except in some fetal stages and in some disease states, where blood cells can be produced in the liver and spleen (this is called extramedullary hematopoeisis). Most of the cells produced in the bone marrow mature into their final forms in the bone marrow, but some white blood cells finish maturation in the thymus. The stem cells and their progeny (daughter cells) receive various stimuli in the form of chemicals that contact them that "push" them in the direction of forming whatever blood cells the body happens to need.
