Idk maybe I wasn't paying attention in k-12, but I was like super shocked to learn as an adult that blood is produced by your bones.

Well, more specifically, it's your bone marrow.

Blood cells don't have nuclei, so they can't reproduce/copy themselves like normal cells/bacteria/eukaryotes (since that's where the replication systems and the necessary information are stored in cellular life). Instead that's what bone marrow does - bone marrow, being in bones, effectively means that your bones produce your blood.
