Is bone marrow in the thigh bone?

Answer 1

Hi, Bone marrow is the spongy material found in the center of most large bones in the body. Bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Along with a biopsy (the sampling of mostly solid tissue or bone), an aspiration (the sampling of mostly liquid) is often done on the same time. :) Bone marrow is not a bone. No, bone marrow is not a bone. Bone marrow is the substance in the bone that is a soft tissue and produces blood cells.

Answer 2

Yes the femur can be considered an organ. Think of it this way, the definition of a tissue is a group of functionally related cells and their extracellular material (or intercellular products) which in turn together have a common function. The definition of an organ is a group of different tissues which together have a common function. And of course an organ system is many different organs working together for a common function (to support the organism)

Bone tissue, or osseous tissue is the major component of the skeletal system. However, its not the only tissue that resides within the skeletal system. Although the femur is primarily composed of bone tissue, it is not the only tissue type found within it. For example, periosteum (dense irregular connective tissue) and also the medullary canal (filled with adipose, again, spongy or cancellous bone (found mainly in the epiphysis sections) contains myeloid connective tissue. Coming back to the definition stated above, yes the femur is composed of many different tissues, which have a common function. The skeletal system is made up of all the bones in the body. This is because why? thinking again back to the above definition, an organ system is made of different organs which have a common function, and those different organs are different bones. So yes, the femur can be considered an organ :)

Answer 3

Bone marrow is found inside the cavities of bones, including the thigh bone (femur). The bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, and can be harvested for medical procedures, such as bone marrow transplants.

Answer 4

No, the femur is a bone. The bone marrow is found in the center of the bone.

Answer 5

Yes, bone marrow is found in the thigh bone, also known as the femur

Answer 6

No femur is not a flat bone of the body. Scapula and hip are called flat bone.
