Haemopoiesis/Haematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow from haematopoietic stem cell. Erythropoiesis Process of production of red cell Red cell’s lifespan is about 120 days Bone marrow replaces the cell lost by senescence, haemorrhage or destruction Red cell mass in normal man (26 – 29 mL/kg of body weight) maintained and regulated by the bone marrow

These extensive notes are based on the FLG 212 lecture notes and Human Physiology: an Integrated Approach textbook. The notes cover all the work in the module and have also been double checked using the learning outcomes in the study guide to ensure all the information was there. They also include all the necessary diagrams. I got a distinction using only these notes for the semester tests and exam.
