Testosterone, erythropoietin and drop in normal blood oxygen levels stimulate erythrocyte. In adults, red blood cell production occurs in the red bone marrow. production. Polycythemia: excessive rbc production; symptoms of hypoxic and low oxygen levels; decreased level of oxygen levels in blood and body responds by producing more rbcs, causing polycythemia. Extrinsic pathway is faster than intrinsic pathway. Blood o type is the universal donor. Blood type ab negative can receive any blood type in moderate amounts except that with the rh antigen.
