Detailed explanation-1: -Bone marrow is found in the center of most bones and has many blood vessels. There are two types of bone marrow: red and yellow. Red marrow contains blood stem cells that can become red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although bones are very hard organs, they also have a dense network of blood vessels inside them where the bone marrow is located as well as on the outside that is covered by the periosteum. This is why bone fractures often cause serious bleeding.
Detailed explanation-3: -The bone marrow produces stem cells, the building blocks that the body uses to make the different blood cells – red cells, white cells and platelets.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bone marrow makes the components of your blood that you need to survive. Bone marrow produces red blood cells that carry oxygen, white blood cells that prevent infection and platelets that control bleeding. The absence of bone marrow can be fatal since it’s an essential part of your body.
