What kind of bones make blood?
Bone marrow. Bone marrow is where blood cells are created. Only long bones (with the "hole" in the center) have bone marrow in them. So leg bones and arm bones make blood cells, but rib bones or skull bones do not. So those short, solid, irregular-shaped bones do not create blood cells.
What blood cell in the kidney secrets bed blood cells?
Cells within the kidney called interstitial fibroblasts produce a substance called erythropoietin, EPO for short, that stimulates production of red blood cells. They doesn't secrete or produce red blood cells themselves. Red blood cells are produced within bone marrow.
In adults erythropoiesis occurs in?
In adults, erythropoiesis mainly occurs in the bone marrow of flat bones such as the sternum, pelvis, ribs, and vertebrae. Erythropoiesis is the process by which red blood cells are produced.
What type of bone is a skull?
The skull is composed of the cranium and the facial bones. They are like all the other bones of the body, except they do not produce blood cells, like long bones and short bones.The cranial bones are flat bones such as the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital bones. The facial bones are considered irregular-shaped bones and consist of; sphenoidal, lacrimal, and a few others. I hope this helped

What are the functions of a short bone?
Short bones in the human body are cubelike -- the length, width, and height measurements are all about the same. Short bones include the carpal bones (hands, wrist) and tarsal bones (feet, ankles).
What are the functions of the long bone and the short bone and the flat bone and the irregular bone?
short bones are mostly spongey bones and help hold shape and keep structure strong, flat bones usually protect or help with movementeg. the skull, sternum and scapula, long bones are also sponget bones that hold the shape of the body so that joints can function and move and irrregular bones are the miscelanious type of bone that varies in function, each one is different, eg. mandable and vertebrae.
What does spongy bone produce?
Spongy bone produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets through a process called hematopoiesis. It also helps to store and release minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, to maintain bone health and overall body function.
Is short irregular and flat bones have large marrow cavities in order to keep the weight of the bones light?
No, short, irregular, and flat bones have large marrow cavities for the production of blood cells, not to keep their weight light. These bones have a spongy structure that provides strength while being relatively lightweight.
What is blood short answer?
Blood is a liquid connective tissue composed of cells and an extracellular matrix. The matrix being the plasma and the cells being erythrocytes (red blood cells), platelets, and 5 types of leukocyte (white blood cells).
What is marrow hypoplasia?
Marrow hypoplasia, also known as aplastic anemia, is a condition where the bone marrow does not produce enough blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This can result in symptoms like fatigue, paleness, frequent infections, and easy bruising. Treatment may involve medications, blood transfusions, and sometimes a bone marrow transplant.
What is found in the middle of short flat bones that is full of spaces that help keep the bone light?
Short flat bones contain a layer of spongy bone in the middle, known as diploe. Diploe is filled with red bone marrow, which produces blood cells, and helps keep the bone light while maintaining strength and support.
