Why is yellow bone marrow yellow?

Answer 1

Answer

Bones are not usually white. More light yellow. Only when you bleach your bones are they white.

But bleaching causes deterioration.

Calcium and blood cells cause the color of your bones.

X-Rays also make it look white.

HEALTH: Bones sensitive if not kept healthy. You can stop this by drinking milk and avoiding soda.

Answer 2

Bones that are in a living person will be an off white color. Bones that are out in contact with air will turn that light yellow color or in a dead person, it's caused by calcium and deterioration.

Answer 3

because you have a rare disease called yellowed-marrow. u have to see a doctor right away or else you will die... you have to stick a long sharp needle into the center of ur bone to inject some sort of medication to stop the disease from turning into cancer. i would know buz my older sister had that done last week.

Bone marrow is the soft, spongy, gelatinous tissue found in the hollow spaces in the interior of bones.[1] The average weight of this tissue is about 4% of the total body weight, or 2.6 kg in an adult weighing 65 kg. Progenitor cell (stem cell) lines in the bone marrow produce new blood cells and stromal cells. Bone marrow is also an important part of the lymphatic system.

Bone marrow consists of stem cells, which are large, "primitive," undifferentiated cells supported by fibrous tissue called stroma. There are 2 main types of stem cells and, therefore, the bone marrow consists of 2 types of cellular tissue. One type of stem cell is involved in producing blood cells and the other is involved in producing stromal cells, which are responsible for the supporting stroma.

Answer 5

Even though bones are very light, they are also very strong. However, how strong they are depends on how much of the mineral calcium carbonate they contain. Do this experiment to find out how calcium carbonate affects bone strength. Make sure you get an adult to help you!

ones are made of calcium carbonate and a soft material called collagen. When the chicken bone was placed in the glass of vinegar, the acid in the vinegar dissolved the calcium carbonate so that only collagen was left. Calcium (the mineral in calcium carbonate) is needed to make our bones strong. When there isn't enough calcium, our bones become soft and are more likely to break. The soft collagen simply isn't strong enough to support our bodies on its own. But don't worry, the acid found in some food and drinks won't destroy your bones. Just make sure you eat plenty of foods that have calcium in them! A few foods that contain a lot of calcium are milk, cheese, soy products, beans, almonds, and Orange Juice.

Answer 6

The color of bones can be affected by age, decomposition, calcification or other factors.
