When looking at the cross section of the human tibia, where does one find the RED marrow in:

  • A.medullary cavity
  • B.cancellous bone 
  • C.periosteum
  • D.epiphysis

Answer: A

Red marrow is found in the medullary cavity of the tibia.

Red marrow makes blood cells; yellow marrow is fat. In a child almost all the marrow is red, and it is progressively replaced by yellow in the long bones with age, persisting in the flat bones and vertebrae.
