Infants grow relatively fast and need quite a lot of red blood cells, which are only produced in red bone marrow. As the infants grow older, much of the red bone marrow is gradually replaced by yellow bone marrow containing a special kind of fat that gives it its yellowish color. If the body needs more red blood cells than the remaining red marrow is capable of producing, some of the yellow marrow changes to red marrow.

In newborn infants the medullary cavity and all areas of spongy bone contain yellow bone marrow?
No, when a child is born they only have red marrow. But as they start to grow older the red marrow turns into yellow marrow.
In an adult red blood cells are produced primarily in the?
blood cells are produced primarily in the?
What are normal results of bone marrow aspiration and biopsy?
Healthy adult bone marrow contains yellow fat cells, connective tissue, and red marrow that produces blood. The bone marrow of a healthy infant is primarily red due to active production of red cells necessary for growth.
What type of bone marrow is mainly fat tissue?
The type of marrow that is made up primarily of fat cells is the yellow bone marrow. The red bone marrow is made up of myeloids.

What part of the bone is hematopoietic tissue located?
In the few flat bone you have red bone marrow. It contains the precursor cells of the haemopoietic tissue. They produce the red blood cells.
