Erythropoiesis: Red Blood Cell Life Cycle, 3D Schematic
Luqman Bukhari
The question
Your body makes around two million red blood cells every second. Where do they come from, and how does one stem cell become a cell with no nucleus that carries oxygen?
What we made
A short 3D schematic of the full life cycle of a red blood cell. It starts inside the bone marrow and follows every stage until the mature RBC enters the bloodstream.
Hematopoietic stem cell
Proerythroblast
Basophilic erythroblast
Polychromatophilic erythroblast
Orthochromic erythroblast
Reticulocyte
Red blood cell
Why schematic
The body, the femur, the marrow and the vessel stay on screen together, so the viewer never loses where they are. Each stage gets its own label as it appears. It works in a lecture, a deck or a website.

Type: 3D schematic animation, hematology
