Yes, bones do have blood vessels. The blood vessels supply the materials that bones need to maintain or repair their structure. In compact bone, the vessels run though the Haversian Canals. Blood vessels also run through the softer inner bone, (cancellous or trabecular bone) which has a sponge-like framework.

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 human bones make red blood cells?

Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow of flat bones like the pelvis, sternum, and skull. These bones contain stem cells that differentiate into red blood cells through a process called hematopoiesis.


Why aren't bones covered in blood?

Bones do have blood vessels running through them in a soft tissue called bone marrow, which produces blood cells. However, the hard outer layer of bones, called compact bone, is not supplied with blood vessels on its surface. The periosteum, a thin membrane surrounding bones, is responsible for supplying blood to the outer layer of bones.


Do bones have blood in them, and if so, what is the role of blood within the bones?

Yes, bones do have blood in them. The blood within bones helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to bone cells, remove waste products, and support the growth and repair of bone tissue.


Are red blood cells produced in bones?

Red blood cells, in order to store more hemoglobin to carry oxygen, don't have a nucleus that can make repairs. So red blood cells only last, on average, 120 days. Because they constantly need to be reproduced and your bones, believe it or not, are very well vascularized, it seems like a pretty good place to store the marrow to make more red blood cells.
