The body secretes a hormonecalled erythropoietin (or EPO) which stimulates the production if red blood cells (RBC's). EPO is purified and made commercially available. In an emergency where there is a lot of blood loss, or in patients who are chronically anemic, EPO is administered so the body may produce more RBC's

White blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets all travel within the bloodstream to reach different parts of the body where they are needed. They are carried by the circulating blood to various tissues and organs to perform their respective functions, such as fighting infections (white blood cells), delivering oxygen (red blood cells), and aiding in blood clotting (platelets).


How does the blood get cells into your body?

Red and white blood cells don't have something specific that carries them through the body. They move with each contraction of the heart. I'm not sure if this is the answer you are looking for because i wasn't sure if you were asking how cells are transported or what order they travel in through the circulatory system. I hope my answer above helps though. :)

Blood cells are part of the blood the blood doesn't return from the blood cells. Very basically, the blood is pumped from the heart through the arteries to various parts of the body. The blood does it's job of delivering necessary substances to the body's cells - such as nutrients and oxygen - and then transports waste products away from those same cells via the veins. The blood goes back to the heart where it is pumped to the lungs. In the lungs the blood is oxygenated and pumped back to various parts of the body

How can you help the circulatory system to become healthy?

The Circulatory System circulates blood throughout the body. This blood has red blood cells that carry oxygen. When you are exercising, your heart beats faster to get more oxygen to the cells. This lets the blood travel faster, delivering more oxygen, which when received by cells is used by the mitochondria (the energy source of cells) to produce energy.

Why don't white blood cell stay in the blood?

White blood cells have their own lymphatic system which they travel around the body in. They are made in the lymph nodes. - I suppose the reason they don't stay in the blood is because of the pressure. Becuase the white blood cells are mostly within the lymphatic system, an immune response can be coordinated faster. - I believe.
