Detailed explanation-2: -Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy material in the center of the bones. It produces about 95% of the body’s blood cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The bones of the skeleton provide surfaces for the attachment of muscles. Blood cell production – certain bones in the skeleton contain bone marrow which produces red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Examples of bones that contain marrow are the pelvis, sternum, humerus and femur.

Detailed explanation-4: -The soft, spongy tissue that has many blood vessels and is found in the center of most bones. There are two types of bone marrow: red and yellow. Red bone marrow contains blood stem cells that can become red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets.

Detailed explanation-5: -The skeleton provides the structural framework for the body. Brilliantly engineered, the skeletal system enables movement, stores minerals, protects internal organs, bears the body’s weight, and distribute forces. In its spongy interiors it houses the mechanisms for storing and creating blood cells.
