Hematopoietic tissue in bones

What will be an ideal response?


Red marrow is found within trabecular cavities of spongy bone and dipole of flat bones, such as sternum. In newborns, medullary cavities and all spongy bone contain red marrow. In adults, red marrow is located in the heads of femur and humerus, but most active areas of hemapoiesis are flat bone dipole and some irregular bones (such as hip bone). Yellow marrow can convert to red if person becomes anemic.
