What is bone marrow, and why is it important?
Bone marrow is found in the center of most bones and has many blood vessels. There are two types of bone marrow: red and yellow. Red marrow contains blood stem cells that can become red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. Yellow marrow consists of fat and stem cells that produce cartilage and bones in the body.Last updated on 09 Dec 2024
