Summary Introduction
To determine:
The function of kidney in the amount of erythrocytes circulating in the blood.
Introduction:
The process of formation of red blood cells (RBC) in the red bone marrow is called erythropoiesis. It occurs in the liver, yolk sac, and spleen. The control of RBC production is stimulated by erythropoietin hormone (EPO) that travels in the blood from the red bone marrow. It is secreted by kidney cells in response to oxygen for the production of erythrocytes.
