Erythrocytes, platelets and granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils) are derived from pluripotential stem cells. These give rise to multipotential colony-forming unit progenitors for granulocytes, erythrocytes, monocytes/macrophages and megakaryocytes. Under the influence of interleukins and colony-stimulating factors, committed stem cells develop into differentiated blood cells (erythrocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes and platelets). Neutrophils and monocytes develop from the same colony-forming unit. Although the bone marrow produces some lymphocytes most are derived from the peripheral lymphoid tissue.

Haematopoiesis may occur in other organs particularly the spleen, less frequently the liver and even peripheral lymph nodes, if there is a marked increase in demand for cells. With increased tissue demands, mature reserves are depleted and immature cells are released into the circulation.
