Erythropoiesis describes the process by which hematopoietic stem cells commit to the red blood cell lineage. The creation of these red blood cells (and their replenishment) ensures efficient oxygen delivery. Megakaryopoiesis involves the development of megakaryocytes from hematopoietic stem cells. Megakaryocytes can in turn generate platelets, which are instrumental in clotting.
