Bone is a specialised‚ strong‚ flexible connective tissue and is the main component of the adult skeleton. Unlike hyaline and fibrocartilage‚ bone is supplied with nerves and blood vessels. Epiphyseal veins carry the blood away from the long bones of the body and periosteal arteries‚ which are also accompanied by nerves‚ carry blood to the bones. It provides support and gives the structural framework to the body‚ it acts as a protective cover for internal organs such as the heart‚ brain and lungs

disease (GVHD) is often a much too frequent complication of allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplants (BMT). Bone marrow transplants are given to treat malignant and nonmalignant diseases such as leukemia‚ lymphoma‚ marrow failure also known as aplastic anemia‚ metabolic disorders‚ HIV‚ Inherited red cell disorders (Gratwohl‚ 2006). Bone marrow can be taken from umbilical cord blood‚ peripheral blood stem cells and from bone marrow itself from various donors. They can be obtained from either autologous

clots to prevent blood loss. Red blood cells or erythrocytes develop in the bone marrow and transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells. RBCs also transport carbon dioxide from cells and into the lungs to be exhaled. White blood cells protect the body from infection. The most common type of WBC is neutrophil‚ the immediate response cell and accounts for 60-70% of the total WBC. Neutrophils last less than 1 day so the bone marrow must constantly make new neutrophils to maintain protection against infection

Maksimov‚ proposed the hypothesis about existence of the stem cells and coiled the name for them. Later on‚ in 1963‚ Canadian Scientists‚ James E. Till and Ernest A. McCulloch actually demonstrated the existence of self-renewing cells found in the bone marrow of mice. ( Silverstein‚ 12) It is impossible to say who exactly the founder of the stem cells was. When it comes to such kind of discussion‚ it is better to say that a lot of scientists put a great effort to contribute and give development of this

on the hematocrit then the percentage can be affected it can either go higher or lower. 2. The development of lymphocytes is different to other elements because lymphocytes not only develop in bone marrow and finish in lympatic tissue. Other elements start and finish their development in bone marrow. 3. Erythropoiesis is the specific production of red blood cells. Negative feedback increases red blood cell production‚ but if the stimulus disrupts homeostasis then in decreases red blood cell

like to inform you about Leukemia’s symptoms‚ treatments‚ and who can be affected by it. So‚ what exactly is Leukemia and what are some symptoms to be aware of? Leukemia is characterized by an increase of abnormal white cells in the blood and bone marrow. In lamer terms‚ “Cancer of the blood cells.” If you have Leukemia‚ the first thing affected are your white blood cells that fight infections. If you have Leukemia‚ your white blood cell count becomes almost non-existent making it extremely difficult

and develops in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft‚ spongy center of certain bones that produces the three major blood cells: white blood cells to fight infection; red blood cells that carry oxygen; and platelets that help with blood clotting and stop bleeding. When a child has leukemia‚ the bone marrow‚ for an unknown reason‚ begins to make white blood cells that do not mature correctly‚ but continue to reproduce themselves. • Leukemia is diagnosed by bone marrow aspiration or biopsy

lymph cells: T cells and B cells. When B cells respond to an infection‚ they change into plasma cells. The plasma cells are found mainly in the bone marrow—the soft‚ inner part of some bones. The plasma cells make proteins called antibodies that attack and help kill germs. When plasma cells grow out of control‚ they can form a tumor‚ usually in the bone marrow. This type of tumor is called a myeloma‚ and if there are many tumors they are called multiple myeloma. If there is only one tumor‚ it is called
