Many things are produced by bone, but the main thing is more bone. It also has some elements such as calcium and compounds like phosphate. These are released when bone is remodeled and replaced. Bone stores these and also fat cells (yellow marrow) and red marrow which is a place where blood cells are made when needed.

Where are RBC produced in body during fetal and adult life?

in the early weeks of embryonic life,primitive., nucleated red blood cells are produced in the yolk sac.during the middle trimester of gestation,the liver s main organ for production of red blood cells but reasonable number are also produced in the spleen and lymph nodes.then during the last month or so of gestation and after birth red blood cells are produced exclusively in the bone marrow.the bone marrow of essentially all bones produces red blood cells untill a person is 5 years old.the marrrow of long bones,except for proximal portions of the humeri and tibiae,becomes quiet fatty and produces no more red blood cells after about age 20 years.beyond this age,most red cells continue to be produced in marrow of membranous bones,such as vertebrae,sternum,ribs and ilia.even in these bones,the marrow becomes less productive as age increases


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.
