Topic 1:Cells


Having researched on stem cells, I deepened my research by finding information
on where they are produced from, the bone marrow.



It consists of the:
Red bone marrow, containing alot of capillaries for the new "recruits" to report
to their duty.

Yellow bone marrow which contain fat cells.



The bone marrow is red at birth, and
the yellow bone marrow is produced after quite some time.



In the case of severe blood loss, the yellow bone marrow can convert back to
red bone marrow to increase blood cell and platelet production.
