Bone Marrow

Bone marrow is spongy tissue inside certain bones in your body. It contains important cells called stem cells. Bone marrow is important because the stem cells it contains produces red cells for oxygen, white cells that help fight infections and platelets that help clot blood. If you lack stem cells or if they are not functioning the way they should you can develop three different types of bone marrow diseases. The three diseases are leukemia, aplastic anemia, and lymphoma.

4 types of bones

Suggestions: The Skull, The Sternum, The Ribs, The Vertebral Column
