Bone marrow
Responsible for producing platelets, lymphocytes, erythrocytes, granulocytes, and monocytes.
Granulocytes possess secretory granules in their cytoplasm and consist of: Eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils.
Monocytes are leukocytes that differentiate into macrophages (that differentiate into different subtypes depending on their locus)
Erythrocytes are the anucleate, biconcave, oxygen-carrying, no mitochondria having RBCs we all know and love
Megakaryocytes are a large species of karyocytes responsible for thrombocytogenesis (platelet production)
Lymphocytes are all produced in the bone marrow, but their education and maturation happens in the thymus
