- IV. The Formation of Red Blood Cells The body must constantly produce new red blood cells to maintain homeostasis. Demonstrate your understanding of the life cycle of red blood cells by placing the following events in the proper sequence. A. An immature form of an erythrocyte, called a reticulocyte, is released into the circulation. B. EPO stimulates stem cells in red bone marrow to begin creating new erythrocytes. _C. After one to two days, the reticulocyte becomes a mature erythrocyte. _D. The kidneys detect the declining levels of oxygen and respond by secreting a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO). E. As the number of RBCS increases, oxygen levels rise. Less EPO is produced, and RBC production declines. F. As damaged RBCS are removed from circulation, oxygen levels fall.arrow_forwardWhat is blood clotting?a. Blood clotting is the formation of a platelet plug.b. Blood clotting is agglutination.c.
