Question

How long does it take for blood to multiply? I have low blood levels and right now I am taking iron pills 4 times a day. How quickly will my blood cells multiply? How much do blood cells make?

Answer 1

All you have to know is below :)

Explanation:

More than 2,000,000 (2 million) erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) are produced in human adults each second!

Erythropoiesis is the process by which new RBCs are produced; evolving or maturing from a stem cell in nearly 7 days.

They develop in the bone marrow and stay active for 100 to 120 days in the adult body

`...` before being 'recycled' by macrophages (leucocyte) in our bone marrow, liver and spleen (`lArr`here their destruction takes place.)

Approximately, `color(red)("half")` of our blood's volume consists of of RBCs; moreover, `color(red)("one quarter")` of our total amount of cells is made of RBCs.

Take into account that our liver is the main organ of RBC removal and iron recycling.
