For, this article, we are going into the deeper information such as what is erythropoiesis and the factors affecting the erythropoiesis.    What is erythropoiesis? In the previous article, I mentioned the meaning of “eryth” and “poiesis”. It is the same with erythrocyte which is a red blood cell while “poiesis” is the production.
