7.7 Bone marrow

Version française

Section of yellow bone marrow.

This bone marrow is yellow in its fresh state because of the abundance of yellowish adipocytes present.

The hemopoietic (*) tissue is comparatively less abundant than in red bone marrow.

The adipocytes, or fat cells, (Ad) appear as large circular clear spaces in this field. A megakaryocyte (M) and venous sinuses (S) are also labelled.
