Hematopoietic cells
Hematopoietic cells are essential cells in the body responsible for producing blood cells. They originate in the bone marrow, the soft tissue inside bones. These cells generate various types of blood cells, including red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (which fight infection), and platelets (which help with blood clotting). The proper function of hematopoietic cells is crucial for maintaining healthy blood and a strong immune system, as they help the body respond to disease and injury. Overall, they play a vital role in our overall health and well-being.
