Hi Dror, I just wanted to double check the correct answer for the question "what is stored in the marrow cavity of long bone in adults?"

Is it just yellow bone marrow or red bone marrow too? The notes seem to suggest yellow and red is stored in the epiphysis but Google is telling me both.

Many thanks,
Emma

    I've got just yellow bone marrow in my notes. Red marrow just in the epiphysis

    Hi all, The question is about what is stored in the marrow cavity. So the answer is yellow bone marrow. In adults, only yellow bone marrow is in the marrow cavity.
