In adults, the majority of hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow, particularly the marrow of the pelvis, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, and cranium.
Some hematopoiesis may still occur in the long bones such as the tibia and femur, but this is more common in children. The lymph nodes also play a small role in hematopoiesis throughout life.
