An immature blood cell that develops into mature red or white blood cells.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'blastos' (sprout or bud). The term describes these cells as the 'budding' or developing forms that will eventually mature into functional blood cells.
Your bone marrow is constantly creating haemoblasts—millions every second—which is why you can recover from blood loss relatively quickly compared to other tissues.
