Making Blood CellsMaking Blood Cells
Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy material in the center of the bones that produces about 95 percent of the body's blood cells.
The lymph nodes, spleen, and liver help regulate the production, destruction, and differentiation (developing a specific function) of cells.

Red blood cells
** Live about 120 days.** Look like a lifesaver
with the center closed** Are made in bone
marrow, spleen and other sites. Most come from the bone marrow.

White blood cellsWhite blood cellsWhite Blood Cells*The primary function of
white blood cells, or leukocytes, is to fight infection.
*heal wounds not only by fighting infection, but also by ingesting matter, such as dead cells, tissue debris, and old red blood cells.
*each microliter of blood has 5,000 to 10,000 white blood cells.

PlateletsPlatelets
Platelets are much smaller in size than the other blood cells. They group together to form clumps, or a plug, in the hole of a vessel to stop bleeding.
Platelets are irregularly-shaped, colorless bodies that are present in blood.

Sickle CellsSickle CellsSickle Cell Anemia is
the name given to persons having sickle cells.
Sickle Cells are not round, and don’t carry oxygen as well as normal cells

Normal red blood cells contain hemoglobin A, but people with sickle cell disease have mostly hemoglobin S (the S stands for sickle) in their red blood cells...
