The center of many bones (mostly long bones) contains either/or red marrow or yellow marrow. Red marrow is a place where red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets (fragments that are important in clotting) are found. RBCs have to be replaced every 120 days. The yellow marrow is a storage place for fat.

Where are osteons located?
osteons are the structural units of compact bone and therefore located in compact bone. essentially an osteon is hollow tube consisting of ring like structures called lamellae similar to rings of a tree. within the lamellae are lacunae. lacunae are "pockets" that hold the osteoblasts (osteo=bone, blast=build) which are responsible for the creating the ground substance a.k.a extracelluar matrix. the extracellular matrix is made of calcium and other fibers/molecules (the hard part of the bone). Canaliculi are the "veins" of the bone connecting the osteons trapped in the lacunae (osteoblast containing pockets) to the blood supply located in the center of the bone. the center of the bone called the central canal or haversian canal holds nerves and blood vesels. In long bones, the osteons would be found it the diaphysis (shaft) of the bone.
