The center of many bones (mostly long bones) contains either/or red marrow or yellow marrow. Red marrow is a place where red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets (fragments that are important in clotting) are found. RBCs have to be replaced every 120 days. The yellow marrow is a storage place for fat.

What is the vascular and nerve encircling cavity at the center of the osteon?
The vascular and nerve encircling cavity at the center of the osteon is called the Haversian canal. It contains blood vessels and nerves that supply nutrients and signals to the surrounding bone tissue. The Haversian canal is part of the osteon, which is the structural unit of compact bone, facilitating communication and support within the bone matrix.
What substance in center of bones maks blood cells?
MARROW, bone marrow makes blood cells.
What moves bone away from midline?
The movement that moves a bone away from the midline of the body is called abduction. This action typically occurs in the limbs, where a bone moves laterally away from the body's center. For example, raising the arms or legs to the side involves abduction. Conversely, the movement that brings a bone back toward the midline is called adduction.
Where are blood cells produced in your bones?
The red blood cells are produced in the red bone marrow in the center of the bone.Marrow.Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are made in the bone marrow as are white blood cells or leukocytes and they originate from stem cells. The marrow is located in the length of the long bones until we get older, then it will diminish with age. As we age the marrow is predominantly in the sternum or breastbone, the iliac crest or the hip bone of the pelvis, and in the vertebrae of the spine. The ends of the long bones or epiphysises are solid bone covered with cartilage for the strength needed for the movable joints.marrow
Where are osteons located?
osteons are the structural units of compact bone and therefore located in compact bone. essentially an osteon is hollow tube consisting of ring like structures called lamellae similar to rings of a tree. within the lamellae are lacunae. lacunae are "pockets" that hold the osteoblasts (osteo=bone, blast=build) which are responsible for the creating the ground substance a.k.a extracelluar matrix. the extracellular matrix is made of calcium and other fibers/molecules (the hard part of the bone). Canaliculi are the "veins" of the bone connecting the osteons trapped in the lacunae (osteoblast containing pockets) to the blood supply located in the center of the bone. the center of the bone called the central canal or haversian canal holds nerves and blood vesels. In long bones, the osteons would be found it the diaphysis (shaft) of the bone.
