<P> Haematopoietic stem cells ( HSCs ) reside in the medulla of the bone ( bone marrow ) and have the unique ability to give rise to all of the different mature blood cell types and tissues . HSCs are self - renewing cells : when they differentiate , at least some of their daughter cells remain as HSCs , so the pool of stem cells is not depleted. This phenomenon is called asymmetric division . The other daughters of HSCs ( myeloid and lymphoid progenitor cells ) can follow any of the other differentiation pathways that lead to the production of one or more specific types of blood cell , but can not renew themselves . The pool of progenitors is heterogeneous and can be divided into two groups ; long - term self - renewing HSC and only transiently self - renewing HSC , also called short - terms . This is one of the main vital processes in the body . </P>
