Proerythroblast
In our bone marrow we have these proerythroblast
cells that have a nucleus. When are bone marrow
needs to make red blood cells., Proerythroblast will
begin to fill up with hemoglobin by producing it
within itself

hemoglobin, I need to make room for more so it
will eject the nucleus. Proerythroblast will now
turn to a Reticulocytes
