The bone marrow does what
What is the purpose of the bone marrow and what is its function? The bone marrows of the various bones in our body - of the sternum, ribs, vertebrae, bones of the pelvis and of the long bones -- are the FACTORIES where the various blood cells are produced!
In our bone marrows three principal types of cells are manufactured: (1) red blood cells or erythrocytes with the main function of carrying oxygen to every part of our body; (2) white cells or leucocytes with the purpose of defending ourselves against various diseases; and (3) platelets helping in the coagulation of the blood preventing hemorrhages.
What is the function of the blood? Besides carrying the oxygen and the food to every part of our body and of defending ourselves against diseases and preventing hemorrhages, it also helps our body to get rid of the waste products of our metabolism
It's like the production factory for all the blood cells. It produces all the red blood cells (to carry oxygen), platelets (for clotting) and white blood cells (to fight infection). These cells also mature in the marrow till they're released into the main blood stream. The one exception is lymphocytes which are produced here but mature in lymph nodes.
When you get abnormalities in this production process it can eventually manifest as a leukemia.
