As children, nearly all of our bones contain red bone marrow, but this gradually gets replaced by yellow marrow as we grow older.
As adults, red bone marrow is found mainly in the axial skeleton (skull, spine and rib cage) and girdles (pelvis and shoulders) and at the ends (epiphyses) of the humerus and femur.
Red marrow is found in flat bones, such as the hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae, and shoulder blades. It is also found in the cancellous ("spongy") material at the epiphyseal ends of the long bones such as the femur and humerus.

All bones Contain red marrow for blood cell formation. They are located at the ends of each bone within the spaces in the spongy bone.

bones
The spaces between the trabeculae do contain red or yellow marrow. This depends on a person's age and on which bone it is.
Bone marrow comes in two categories, red and yellow. Red is common in young children's bones. It creates red blood cells. As you become a teenager, you have less red and more yellow bone marrow. Yellow bone marrow stores fat so it can later be used as energy, but there are still some bones that contain red bone marrow.
No, when a child is born they only have red marrow. But as they start to grow older the red marrow turns into yellow marrow.
Think about it you have red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow, which one produces red blood cells? That's right red bone marrow (:
In the few flat bone you have red bone marrow. It contains the precursor cells of the haemopoietic tissue. They produce the red blood cells.
No it contains red marrow. Red marrow is found in spongy bones

There are two types of bone marrow: red marrow (consisting mainly of myeloid tissue) and yellow marrow (consisting mainly of fat cells). Red blood cells, platelets and most white blood cells arise in red marrow. Both types of bone marrow contain numerous blood vessels and capillaries.

Long bones contain yellow marrow in addition to red marrow. Yellow marrow is stored fat, or adipose tissue.
