In some organs either only erythroid cells (the heart, small intestine and its mesentery), or only granulocytes (the pancreas) are formed. In other temporal organs cell differentiation of both erythrocytic and granulocytic series takes place; as a rule, the erythrocytic series predominate. Maximum of erythro- and granulocytopoiesis in all the temporal hemopoietic organs occur on the 9th--11th incubation days...
