Term
bone marrow
Definition
soft tissue occupying marrow cavities of long bones and small spaces of spongy bone
Term
red marrow (myeloid tissue)
Definition
Contains hemopoietic tissue—produces blood cells
In nearly every bone in a child
In adults, found in skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, part of pelvic girdle, and proximal heads of humerus and femur
Term
yellow marrow (in adults)
Definition
Fatty marrow that does not produce blood
Can transform back to red marrow in the event of chronic anemia
Term
Ossification or osteogenesis
Definition
the formation of bone
Term
