Aplasia basically refers to the dysfunction of tissues, where the inability of the bone marrow to produce blood cells leads to the breakdown of cell growth. Normally, the bone marrow produces three types of blood cells:
Platelets
Red blood cells
Certain types of white blood cells
Each of these plays a part in body functions; for instance, platelets are used in blood clotting, white blood cells make up the immune system and red blood cells are used to carry oxygen to all body parts.
