What else can I help you with?
Is fatty marrow and bone marrow the same?
yes there is a difference
Which bone cell is derived from the bone marrow?
Osteoclasts. They are phagocytic just like macrophages and originate from the same stem cells in the bone marrow as macrophages.
Is bone test and bone marrow test the same thing?
No, they are different tests. A bone test typically measures bone density, while a bone marrow test involves taking a sample of bone marrow to check for conditions such as leukemia or other disorders affecting the bone marrow itself.
What is bone marrow collected from a close relative called?
Bone marrow collected from a close relative is called "related donor bone marrow" or "autologous bone marrow" if the donor is the same patient. When the marrow is collected from a sibling or another family member, it is often referred to as "allogeneic bone marrow" from a related donor. This type of donation can be crucial for treatments like bone marrow transplants, particularly in cases of certain blood disorders or cancers.
What is the medical term meaning produced in bone marrow?
Myelogenous is the medical term meaning produced in bone marrow. Myeloid means the same thing.
What is found in the cancellous bone but not in compact bone?
Cancellous bone, also known as trabecular or spongy bone, contains red bone marrow, which is involved in the production of blood cells. This type of bone features a network of trabeculae that create a porous structure, allowing for the storage of marrow. In contrast, compact bone is denser and primarily serves as a structural support, lacking the same extensive marrow spaces found in cancellous bone.
Would a B plus person be able to give bone marrow to a B plus Lymphoma patient?
Bone marrow type and blood type are not the same. You should get your bone marrow checked to see if it matches the patient's type. However, if you were to give your B+ type blood to the patient, then it would be compatible.
Why does a donors bone marrow have to be the same as the recipient?
So the recipients body has less chance of rejecting it.
Does the bone marrow of siblings always match?
no its not a sure thing same as blood types it can differ between them
What is a bone marrow match?
A bone marrow match is when a person's human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tissue type matches that of a patient in need of a bone marrow transplant. This matching is crucial to reduce the likelihood of rejection and improve the success of the transplant. Finding a compatible donor is essential for the patient's body to accept the new bone marrow and start producing healthy blood cells.
What is overactive bone marrow?
Overactive bone marrow refers to a condition where the bone marrow produces an excessive number of blood cells. This can lead to conditions such as polycythemia vera, where there is an overproduction of red blood cells, or essential thrombocythemia, characterized by an excess of platelets. Treatment aims to regulate blood cell production to prevent complications such as blood clots or bleeding disorders.
Can a bone marrow transplant change the DNA of the new blood cells?
Sort of... Assuming there is no GVHD and the bone marrow transplant is successful, a blood test will show what percent of the recipient's blood is their own blood and what percent of the recipient's blood was produced from the donor's bone marrow. If the test comes back ">95%", then the recipient's blood and the donor's blood have become DNA-identical. Interestingly enough, the recipient's hair and saliva remain the same DNA they were born with. Their hair and saliva do NOT change to the donor's DNA. So, the recipient of the bone marrow transplant would then have two DNA's in their body. Neat stuff!
