What is the loss of function bone marrow?
Loss of function in the bone marrow can lead to decreased production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This can result in conditions such as anemia, increased susceptibility to infections, and impaired blood clotting. Treatment may involve blood transfusions or bone marrow transplant.
Is bone marrow soft or hard?
Bone marrow is a soft, gelatinous tissue found inside the cavities of bones. It is responsible for producing blood cells and is an essential component of the immune system.
What is a bone?
Bone is a hard substance made of lots of composits, it has a spongy marrow centre where blood vessels are made and it has veins and stuff running through it. When you break your ankle, structures called Osteoblasts begin to repair it. It also contains more complex structures such as haversian system, canaliculi, lamellae, lacuna. blood cells are made in your bone by marrow but the blood vessels are not made in the bone, they have them but dont make them.
How is a bone similar to other living tissues?
Bone is not just similar to living tissue; it actually is living. It is classified as a connective tissue. The living cells in bone are called osteocytes. The osteocytes are surrounded by a hard matrix of calcium and phosphate called hydroxyapatite.
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.
What substance do bone cells take from the blood to keep it hard?
Bone cells take calcium from the blood in order to keep bones hard and strong. Calcium is a key mineral necessary for bone formation and maintenance.
Can red blood cells also become hard as a bone cell?
No, red blood cells need for ability to fold to squeeze through the narrowest capillaries.
What are the special talents of the periosteum?
The Periosteum is a tough, tight fitting layer of bone that contains nerves and blood cells. It supplies cells of the hard bone below with needed nutrients.
Are Skin cells are the fastest growing type of cells in the human organism?
yes becuase, as they generate they tend to grow faster

Does the heart work hard to make blood cells?
No, the heart does not work hard to make blood cells. In fact, it does no work at all. Blood cells are produced in bone marrow, in cancellous bone tissue (or 'spongy tissue') within the hard casings of bone. A hormone (protein with a very specific role in the body) called 'erethropoeitin' (erethro = red blood cell, poeitin = producing) stimulates red blood cell (erethrocyte - erethro = red, cyte = cell) production within the bone marrow. Ooh I nearly forgot - the main bones with spongy bone tissue (ie. the bones that produce red blood cells) are some of your rib bones, and femur bones. The heart's got it's work cut out for it just by pumping your blood (a mixture of red blood cells AND plasma, as well as 1% 'buffer substance') around your body. If you are reading this, it means you're old enough that your heart would have pumped millions of litres of blood through your body. And by this I mean your blood volume, circulating many times. Don't forget that red blood cells only hang around for about 120 days before they break down. :)

What are 2 types of bones found in the body?
You have two types of bone in each bone. You have compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone is the hard stuff that protects the yellow marrow (this stores fat) in the long part of your bone. Spongy bone is still hard, but it is a bit more forgiving because it is not solid bone. It has holes in it (thus the name). These holes are filled with your red marrow (these make red blood cells).
What is the chemical formula for blood?
Bone is made up mostly of calcium phosphate. There are many other different components to bone which are not fully understood, such as collagen and other organic chemicals. The molecular formula of calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2. This is made of three Ca2+ ions and two PO43- ions.
Where is a bone cell found in body?
Mature bone cells, called osteocytes, are found in the hard portions of every bone in the body.
