The process of blood cell formation is known as __________ Question 5Answer a. Hemolysis b. Hemagglutination c. Hematopoiesis d. Hemostasis

The process of blood cell formation is known as hematopoiesis.

• a. Hemolysis: This is the destruction or breakdown of red blood cells.
• b. Hemagglutination: This refers to the clumping together of red blood cells.
• c. Hematopoiesis: This is the process by which all blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) are formed, developed, and matured from hematopoietic stem cells.
