Bone Marrow and Erythropoiesis - MCAT Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems

The primary function of red bone marrow is to make red blood cells in the process known as erythropoiesis. If all bone marrow is destroyed, then an individual will lose the ability to make red blood cells.

Myogenesis is performed by muscle fibers and satellite cells. Osteogenesis is performed by osteoblasts. Neurogenesis primarily occurs during early development and is performed by neural stem cells.

Red bone marrow is filled with hematopoietic stem cells. Red bone marrow is found in the heads, or epiphyses, of long bones. Yellow marrow fills the medullary cavity and consists mostly of fats. The diaphysis contains the medullary cavity and therefore contains no red marrow. The periosteum has no marrow in it at all.

Since red bone marrow is a site of red blood cell and platelet production, hypoxia (low oxygen) would result in an increase in red marrow and therefore RBC concentration. Yellow bone marrow (typcially adipocyte-filled) can be converted into red bone marrow under conditions of low oxygen or blood loss.

Red bone marrow is primarily located in flat bones (such as the sternum and pelvis) and in the epiphyses of long bones. It is responsible for producing red blood cells, a process known as erythropoiesis. At birth, all bones of the human skeleton carry out erythropoesis, but many bones stop this function as the newborn ages.

It is important to note that yellow bone marrow is found in the medullary cavity within the diaphyses of long bones and assists in fat storage.
