Composition of bone marrow

Bone marrow cells are various cells in bone marrow (mainly red bone marrow). Bone marrow is the main hematopoietic organ, which produces red blood cells, granulocytes, monocytes, lymphocytes and platelets. Therefore, bone marrow cells include cells of various blood cell lines at different developmental stages, and their components are complex.

Such as granulocyte lines, accounting for about 40% ~ 60%, including granulocytes, promyelocytes, neutrophils, promyelocytes, rod-shaped granulocytes and lobulated granulocytes; Lymphocyte lines account for about 20%, including protolymphocytes, juvenile lymphocytes and lymphocytes; The red blood cell system accounts for about 20%, including protoerythrocytes, early erythrocytes, middle erythrocytes, late erythrocytes, reticulocytes and erythrocytes.

Function of bone marrow

Liver governs storing blood, kidney governs clearing blood, and spleen governs producing blood. Bone marrow is the source of hematopoiesis. We are probably composed of 60- 10 trillion cells, and each cell relies on blood to transport nutrients, oxygen and metabolize garbage and waste gas. Chinese medicine says: the eye is treated with blood, the palm is treated with blood, which means treating with blood is enough to treat with blood. No matter how good food is without blood, it can't be delivered to cells, and cells will get sick if they don't get nutrition.

The quality of bone marrow is the key to maintain the normal health index of cells in blood. Solved the problem of human blood source, two typical cases. For example: aplastic anemia, and leukemia, in the best medical treatment: only stem cell transplantation or bone marrow transplantation. It is another way to solve the blood source, relying on bone marrow to maintain life.
