The process of forming or producing red blood cells in the bone marrow, also called erythropoiesis.
From Greek erythro- (red) + genesis (origin or creation). Genesis comes from the Greek word for 'birth' or 'creation' and appears in biological terms like photosynthesis, pathogenesis, and oncogenesis to describe origin processes.
Erythrogenesis happens continuously in your bone marrow—about 2 million new red blood cells are produced every single second! Your body is incredibly efficient: it recycles iron from old red blood cells to make hemoglobin for new ones, creating a beautiful biological recycling system.
