What type of tissue is blood?
Blood is connective tissue.
Bekijk hier je kaarten, of sign up to study with spaced repetition.
Why is blood considered connective tissue?

What is the term for red blood cell formation?
Red blood cell formation is called erythropoiesis.
Bekijk hier je kaarten, of sign up to study with spaced repetition.
What is the term for white blood cell formation?

Bekijk hier je kaarten, of sign up to study with spaced repetition.
What does hypoxia mean?
Hypoxia means low oxygen.
Bekijk hier je kaarten, of sign up to study with spaced repetition.
How does the body respond to hypoxia regarding red blood cell production?
The kidneys release erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates red bone marrow to make more red blood cells.
