Q

Describe yellow marow.

Where is it located? What is its composistion?

Is it hemopoitic?

A

Located in the long bones of adults and is highly infiltrated with fat. It is not hemopoietic, but it has the potential to become so if necessary.

Q

where is red marrow located? what is its compostion

A

Located in the epiphyses of long bones and flat bones, irregular, and short bones .

It is highly vascular and composed of a stroma, irregular sinusoids, and islands of hemopoietic cells.
