After this duration, speen and liver destroyed them and are removed from the circulation. ***Erythropoiesis:*** It's the production of the new RBCs. It occurs in the bone marrow. The process includes the following steps: 1. Erythropoietin production 2. Stem cell commitment 3. Erythroid progenitor cells 4. Normoblasts 5. Reticulocytes 6.
