(There's a lot in your legs, since the bones are quite big and have a large cavity). the bone marrow is located inside the bone in da middle of the bone. It is spongy. it is red when your a child, and turns yellow when your an adult. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue in the cavities of the bones. It is the blood cell 'factory'. Healthy bone marrow releases blood cells into the blood stream when they are mature and when required.
