Bone marrow is referred to as [[#Red marrow|red]] or [[#Yellow marrow|yellow]]. Red bone marrow is involved with [[Haemostasis - Overview|haemostasis]] while yellow bone marrow is adipose tissue. Bone marrow occupies the cavities in [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology#Types of Bone|long bones]] and spaces in [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology#Lamellar bone|spongy bones]].

Bone marrow is a significant source of antibodies as a large population of antibody-producing cells ([[B cell differentiation#Plasma cells|plasma cells]]) reside there. [[Macrophages|Macrophages]] and [[T cell differentiation#Dendritic Cells|dendritic cells]] in the marrow remove foreign substance from the blood, a process which also occurs in the [[Lymph Nodes - Anatomy & Physiology|lymph nodes]], [[Spleen - Anatomy & Physiology|spleen]] and [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiogy#Functions|liver]].
