Where can red marrow be found in the adult?
In the pelvis, sternum and ribs
At the epiphyseal ends of long bones such as the radius, ulna and tibia
In the pelvis, sternum, ribs and the proximal ends of the humerus and femur
In the medullary cavity of long bones
In the pelvis, sternum, ribs and the proximal ends of the humerus and femur
All bone marrow in children is red (actively forming blood cells). It gradually changes to “yellow” with age except for the sites in C. The medullary cavities contain yellow marrow. Red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones, such as the pelvis, sternum, cranium, ribs, vertebrae and scapulae and in the cancellous (“spongy”) material at the proximal epiphyseal ends of long bones such as the femur and humerus.
