Red marrow, found in certain bones, is crucial for hematopoiesis, the process of producing blood cells. It generates red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, all essential for oxygen transport, immune function, and blood clotting. Additionally, red marrow plays a role in maintaining overall bone health and supporting the body's ability to respond to infections and injuries. Its presence decreases with age as yellow marrow, which primarily stores fat, replaces it in many bones.
