The tissue which fills the cavities of most bones; the medulla. In the larger cavities it is commonly very fatty, but in the smaller cavities it is much less fatty, and red or reddish in color.
To fill with, or as with, marrow or fat; to glut.
soft, spongelike material in the cavities within bone; red marrow produces blood cells; yellow marrow is formed mainly of fatty tissue and has no blood-producing function
A soft highly vascular modified connective tissue that occupies the cavities and cancellous part of most bones.
Soft central part of a bone.
the part of the bone where the red and white cells are produced. In normal adults there is a fat in the bone marrow; in persons with anemia, the boen marrow is completely filled primarily with red blood cell precursors.[close window
(MAHR-o) The soft, highly vascularized tissue within bone. It includes yellow marrow, consisting of adipose tissue, and red marrow, which consists of blood- forming tissue.
The soft, sponge-like material inside the bones.
The soft tissue occupying the cavities of many bones, including the breastbone. Marrow is of two types: red and yellow. Red marrow is found in spongy bones, yellow is found in the cavities of the long bones.
A tissue that fills the internal cavities in bone; dominated by hemopoietic cells (red bone marrow) or by adipose tissue (yellow bone marrow).
fatty, soft tissue in the center of long bones and the spaces of spongy bones; produces red blood cells and white blood cells.
the fatty network of connective tissue that fills the cavities of bones
very tender and very nutritious tissue from marrowbones
Soft tissue that fills the cavities of the bones, and is the source of all blood cells. Bone marrow can be donated and transplanted to help fight cancer and other diseases. Jump to Top
Spongy material in the center of bones where blood cells are made.
A soft, fatty, vascular tissue in the interior cavities of bones that is a major site of blood cell production.
soft vascular tissue that fills the cavities of most bones
immature blood cells contained in bone
the jelly-like substance where platelets and red and white blood cells form. It is found inside large bones.
A soft, fatty tissue found in the hollow center of an animal's bone -- particularly plentiful in the shin and leg bones. Considered a delicacy in Europe, marrow is light and digestible with the same amount of calories as beef fat. It can be cooked in the bone, removed, and eaten. And it can be used in soups and stews for flavor and body.
(mar'o) Bones are not completely solid. Some bones like the long bones of the arms and the legs have cavities in them to make them light. This cavity is filled with a soft fatty substance called the marrow. These sites, being highly nutritious, are a favorite site for infection by pyogenic organisms. They destroy the joint, causing fever and joint pain.
the blood forming tissue within the Medulary Cavity.
Marrow (Sarah), also known as Sarah Rushman, is a Marvel Comics character, associated with the X-Men. She is a mutant whose bones grow out of her skin and can be removed from her body, providing her with potential knives and clubs as well as body armor.
