haemogenesis
A scientist observes haemogenesis in a bone marrow sample under a microscope.
Noun The process by which new blood cells are produced within a living organism, primarily occurring in the bone marrow. It encompasses the formation, development, and differentiation of all cellular components of blood.
Haemogenesis is a technical term used primarily in medical and biological contexts to describe the continuous, vital process of blood cell production. - The study focused on the molecular signals that regulate haemogenesis. - Diseases affecting the bone marrow can severely disrupt normal haemogenesis.
- Distinction from Related Terms: While refers broadly to blood cell formation, more specific terms exist for different cell lines (e.g., for red blood cells, for white blood cells).
- Pathological Context: The term is often used when discussing disorders of blood cell production, such as aplastic anemia or leukaemia, where haemogenesis is either deficient or malignant.
- Haematopoiesis (or Hematopoiesis): The more common synonym for , identical in meaning.
- Haemopoietic (adj): Pertaining to or involved in blood cell formation (e.g., ).
- Sanguification: An older, less common term for the same process.

- Hematopoiesis (US spelling)
- Hemopoiesis
