2Bone Marrow
Bone marrow is the soft spongy tissue that lies
within the hollow interior of long bones. In
adults, marrow in large bones produces new blood
cells. Bone marrow forms around 4 of total body
weight (around 2.6 kg in a healthy adult).
3Types of bone marrow
There are two types of bone marrow
- red marrow that is responsible for producing red
blood cells, white blood cells and platelets - yellow marrow consisting mainly of fat cells
4Functions of bone marrow
- Red blood cells (erythrocytes) carry oxygen to
the tissues - Platelets or thrombocytes (derived from
megakaryocytes) help prevent bleeding and aid in
clotting of blood. - Granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils and
eosinophils) and macrophages (collectively known
as myeloid cells) fight infections from bacteria,
fungi, and other parasites. They also remove dead
cells and remodel tissue and bones. - B-lymphocytes produce antibodies, while
T-lymphocytes can directly kill or isolate
invading cells
5What is Bone Marrow Transplant?
- A bone marrow or cord blood transplant is a
process to replace unhealthy bone marrow with
healthy bone marrow. Bone marrow transplants can
be used to treat patients with - life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia
- diseases which result in bone marrow failure like
aplastic anemia - other immune system or genetic diseases

6How a bone marrow transplant works?
An autologous transplant is a way to treat cancer
using very high doses of chemotherapy that
destroy the bone marrow as a side effect. The
autologous blood cells replace the damaged
marrow. This is how autologous transplants are
used to fight certain types of cancers such as
lymphoma. An allogeneic transplant also treats
cancers of the blood, and offers the added
benefit of using the donors immune system to
recognize and destroy cancer cells. Allogeneic
transplant is also used to treat some
non-cancerous diseases such as sickle cell
anemia. In non-cancerous diseases, the transplant
replaces defective marrow cells with the donors
healthy cells.
