Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The whole circulatory system starts developing early in the young embryo. Blood cell formation takes place at many sites like fetal liver and spleen before birth. But by the seventh month of the fetal development, red bone marrow becomes the site for hematopoiesis. Hemoglobin of fetus differs from the hemoglobin produced after birth.
