colony forming unitsreticulocytehemopoiesishematopoietic stem cells erythropoiesishemopoiesisis the production of blood, especially its formed elements. Red bone marrow produces all seven formed elements. The processbegins with specialized cells called hematopoietic stem cells , which have the ability to develop into all formed elements. When more of a particular formedelement is needed, some of these specialized cells will transform into colony forming unitsthat are fate-determined to become only the type of formedelement that is currently needed. These will then multiply in number, maturing into a series of precursor cells before finally becoming the desired formed element.erythropoiesisis specific name for hemopoiesis when new erythrocytes are being made. It follows the pattern above, producing a series of precursorcells, which ultimately results in the nucleus being discarded, and an immature cell called a reticulocytebeing produced. This cell is released intothe blood where it eventually matures into an erythrocyte.

All cellular components of blood and blood plasma are produced during hematopoiesis. The…
