The bone marrow is divided into two; yellow and red bone marrow. The yellow bone marrow stores fats and contains mesenchymal stem cells which can develop into muscle cells or cartilage. The yellow marrow is located at the central cavities of long bones while the red bone marrow is located at the hip, sternum and humerus.
For a red bone marrow biopsy and aspiration to be done on a patient, the samples should be best obtained from the hip bone because it is a flat bone with soft tissues and no major organs and blood vessels are located.
The skeleton is an essential structural framework in vertebrates and protects organs allows for movement and acts as a storage site for minerals and immune cells. Along with erythrocyte (red blood ell) production (in marrow).
Bone marrow is a type of spongy tissue found in bone; there are two types of bone marrow yellow and red marrow. Red marrow is typically found in flat bones like the breast bone, shoulder blades and hip bone.
Technically marrow biopsy is involved the installation of a needle into blood-borne Technically marrow biopsy is involved the insertion of a needle into bone where aspirate, which is the fluid, can be obtained along with the tissue sample from the marrow.
