Where is bone marrow found?

Bone marrow transplants can save lives by replacing damaged marrow in conditions like leukemia and other blood disorders.

Red marrow is more abundant in children, whereas adults have more yellow marrow in long bones.

There are two types of marrow: red marrow, active in blood cell production, and yellow marrow, which stores fat.

Bone marrow contains stem cells, which produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets essential for blood circulation and immunity.

Bone marrow is found in the hollow interior of bones, particularly in the long bones like femur, tibia, and humerus.

It is also present in flat bones such as the pelvis, ribs, sternum, and skull.
