What makes blood?
You might think that the heart makes blood. It just pumps blood throughout the body. The tissue that makes blood is the Bone Marrow. The Bone Marrow is found in the bone arm. It only makes white and red blood cells. It can be found in your arm above the spongy bone.

Bone Marrow when it is healthy
Bone Marrow's color, when it is healthy it looks like pinkish-red. It is filled with many cells that are healthy and productive. When it is seen under a microscope it looks like big dots that are pink and small dots that are red and the gaps between them looks like pinkish-red.

Bone Marrow when it is not healthy
When Bone Marrow is not healthy it looks like pink spaces and around it have light green with black dots. It is called "Aplastic" or "empty" marrow. Instead of having it with cells that are healthy and productive, it has fatty filled cells.
Now you might be wondering then what do you do? Read the extras and find out.

What is Bone Marrow for
It is to keep you alive by producing blood and sending them to the heart to pump the blood. It is also to replace old red/white cells.

Where is Bone Marrow Located
Bone marrow is found in our big bones like the skull, sternum, arm, leg, pelvis. On a bone it is soft on the top or on the bottom inside sometimes in the middle.

EXTRAS
The doctors will have two patients instead of one. The reason that they have two patients is because the other patient give you Bone Marrow. Also you two have the same blood type. Ex: if you have blood "A" the means the other person needs blood "A" or blood "O". (Blood "O" is usable for everyone.)(there are four types blood type A,B and AB are the most common and O is less common and there is plasma they use for emergency cases) The doctors place a tube into your Bone Marrow and the other person and he/she will give you some Bone Marrow. Your body automatically rejects/takes the Bone Marrow. You can not see it reject/take the Bone Marrow with a blind eye. You need a telescope to see it reject/take the Bone Marrow.
Now you might be wondering what happens if you can't make it to the doctor's or you don't have a patient that matches? Then read More Extras.

More Extras
What happens if you can't make it to the doctor's or you don't have a match? Well, most likely when the ambulance comes they will give you plasma. Like I said in the "EXTRAS" plasma is like blood "O". The only difference between plasma and blood "O" is that you can't survive for a long time with only plasma. So you will need a match.

Donating Bone Marrow
When you donate Bone Marrow you need to use your REAL name or you might do it too many times. (about, I think, 2 times a YEAR) You will give them a blood sample to figure out your blood type. You will be called when a person need you and you have the right blood type.

Best person to get Bone Marrow
The best person to get Bone Marrow from is you brothers/sisters. NOT your parents because your brother/sister already has the DNA,genes,etc. from your parents just like you. If you don't have any siblings choose your parents. If you have a twin it will be almost a 100% perfect match.

what are matches, receiver = A donor= A or O / Receiver = b donor = B or O / receiver = AB donor= A or B or AB or O / receiver = O donor = O

FUN FACTS! (FINALLY!)
- Since Bone Marrow makes blood and is located in the bone it is just like saying Bones make blood!
- Although light and squashy it is still pretty strong. Just imagine a jello (those thing that are soft and jiggles all the time) and when you try to break it or cut it in half with your bare hands it will be hard!
- Did you know that the average number of cells in a leg bone is about 440,000,000,000 (440x109).
- Blood type O can be given to anybody, but it can only be given blood type O
