This bone marrow is then given to the bone marrow recipient.
What medical equipment is used in bone marrow aspiration?
The main equipment used in bone marrow aspiration includes a syringe, a needle, local anesthesia, and possibly a biopsy needle to obtain a sample of bone marrow from the hip bone or breastbone. The samples are then analyzed in a laboratory to diagnose various blood disorders and cancers.

Mrs gilmer's leukemia is being treated with a bone marrow transplant some of her bone marrow was harvested so that she will be able to receive a bone marrow transplant?
Harvesting bone marrow involves removing healthy stem cells from a donor's hip bone. These cells are then transplanted into the recipient's bloodstream, where they travel to the bone marrow and begin producing new blood cells. This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions like leukemia, where the patient's bone marrow is not functioning properly.
Why do children and adults have different kinds of bone marrow?
Children have red bone marrow in almost all bones to support the production of red blood cells. As children grow, red bone marrow may transform to yellow bone marrow, which is predominantly made up of fat cells. Adults typically have more yellow bone marrow, with red bone marrow mainly found in the flat bones, such as the hip and shoulder blades.
How do you perform a bone marrow transplant?
A bone marrow transplant involves replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy bone marrow. The process typically involves harvesting healthy bone marrow from a donor, either through a needle in the hip bone or through a process called apheresis. The healthy bone marrow is then infused into the recipient's bloodstream, where it can travel to the bones and begin producing new, healthy blood cells. The transplant can help treat conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood disorders.
What is a Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy?
