What is the function of reb bone marrow?
Bone marrow is a tissue found inside the bones. In adult humans, marrow in some bones such as the pelvis, sternum and femur produces new blood cells.There are two types of bone marrow: red and yellow. Red bone marrow is mainly consisted of myeloid tissue, while the yellow marrow is consisted of fat cells. Of course, when someone is born, all marrow is red. Eventually, some of it gets converted into yellow marrow. Red and most of the white blood cells are produced in red marrow, while a part of the while blood cells is produced in yellow marrow. In the case of need, yellow marrow can be converted into red marrow in order to produce new blood cells.

Red and yellow bone marrow?
All bone marrow is red in color, but as a person ages, the marrow is slowly replaced by fat. Fat has a yellow color, so the appearance of the material in the medullary cavity will get more yellow as a person ages, but the marrow itself is red. ========== Bones are usually filled with a whitish cream colored marrow. You may not know this, but the creamy marrow is used to produce white blood cells. The capillaries that enter the bone then take these newly reproduced white blood cells and replensih the bodies dying portion of cells. Although many bones possess the creamy white blood cell marrow, larger bones such as the femur and the humerus possess red marrow. This red marrow produces red blood cells, not white!
