Chronic anemia may lead to bone marrow reconversion, where yellow marrow is reconverted back to red marrow. Marrow can be infiltrated by cancer cells, such as those of metastases, multiple myeloma, and leukemia. Radiation and chemotherapy can lead to myeloid depletion or myelofibrosis....
Bone marrow, soft, gelatinous tissue that fills the cavities of the bones. Bone marrow is either red or yellow, depending upon the preponderance of hematopoietic (red) or fatty (yellow) tissue. In humans the red bone marrow forms all of the blood cells w
Bone marrowis the soft, flexibleconnective tissuewithinbonecavities. A component of thelymphatic system, bone marrow functions primarily to producebloodcells and to storefat.

Thus, the flood flow in the long bones, at least from young adults, is largely centrifugal (ie, radiating outward after delivery to the marrow cavity) (4,12) (Figures 1 and 2). Figure 1 Schematic diagram showing general arrangement of the vascular supply to healthy adult bone. The main ...
