==Haematopoiesis in Adults==
Haematopoiesis occurs in [[Bone Marrow - Anatomy & Physiology|bone marrow]] and maturation of lymphocytes in lymphoid tissues. In the bone marrow the haematopoietic cells are supported by stromal cells which generate the correct environments to cause the growth and development of the different blood cell types.
