 Yes it is present in the bone and is known as bone marrow. It is responsible for the creation and storage of approximately 95% percent of the body's blood cells. The 3 main types of blood cells produced by bone marrow are:

  1. Red blood cells (RBC): Which take oxygen to all body parts.
  2. White blood cells (WBC): Help fight infections and antibodies.
  3. Platelets: Help with blood clotting.
