Do flat bones produce red blood cells?

No, flat bones do not produce red blood cells. Red blood cells are primarily produced in the bone marrow, specifically in the spongy or trabecular bone marrow found in bones like the vertebrae, ribs, pelvis, and long bones.

In the centre cavities of all the bones in your body.

It is spongy. it is red when your a child, and turns yellow when your an adult. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue in the cavities of the bones. It is the blood cell 'factory'.
