medullary cavity
the red bone marrow produces red and white cells and platelets, while they are found in more children than in adults. The yellow bone marrow consist of fats.
Marrow Cavity
Bone marrow, more specifically yellow bone marrow.
Yellow marrow is the type of bone marrow found in the central cavities of long bones of adults. It is mainly composed of fat cells and serves as a fatty reserve for energy storage. Yellow marrow can convert to red marrow in certain situations, such as during periods of increased blood cell production.
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.
Air-filled spaces in bones are called sinuses. These are hollow cavities within the bones that help to reduce the bone's weight while maintaining strength. The most well-known sinuses are the paranasal sinuses, found in the skull bones surrounding the nasal cavity.
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.
Fat is stored in all bones that consist of yellow bone marrow.
In the red bone marrow. There is very little red bone marrow present in adults because most of it transformed into yellow bone marrow. However; hemopioesis occurs in the flat bones, including sternum, ribs, and pelvis where red bone marrow still remains in adulthood.
In adults, most bones contain yellow marrow (primarily fat).In children this is often red marrow (to generate blood cells), but changes to yellow marrow as we age.
In the bone
There is yellow bone marrow and red bone marrow.
