'''Haematopoiesis''' making blood.
'''Haematopoiesis''' is the making of blood. Problems in haematopoiesis are numberous and the domain of hematology and [[hematopathology]].

==Extramedullary haematopoiesis==
*Abbreviated ''EMH''.
===General===
*In adults it is a compensatory mechanism for [[bone marrow]] dysfunction.
Cause:
*Any process that disrupts the bone marrow, e.g. [[fibrous dysplasia]].

===Microscopic===
Features:
*Erythroid cells - esp. nucleated red blood cells.
*Myeloid - granulocytes and granulocyte precursors.
*Megakaryocytes - Large cells (50-100 μm) with abundant cytoplasm.
**Make platelets.
