bone marrow Dalam Bahasa Indonesia

Bone Marrow

Definisi: Bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue located in the center of bones, primarily in the long bones (such as the femur and humerus) and flat bones (such as the pelvis and sternum). It is crucial for the production of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. There are two types of bone marrow: red marrow, which is involved in hematopoiesis (the formation of blood cells), and yellow marrow, which primarily stores fat and can convert to red marrow during certain conditions, like severe blood loss.

Penggunaan: Bone marrow is often referenced in medical contexts, particularly in discussions around blood production, diseases affecting blood cell production (like leukemia or anemia), and in procedures such as bone marrow transplants.

Etimologi: The term “bone marrow” comes from the Old English word “mearh,” meaning “marrow,” which has Germanic origins. The word “bone” comes from the Old English “ban,” meaning “bone,” with roots in Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European languages.

Pelafalan: Bone marrow is pronounced /boʊn ˈmæroʊ/.

Sinonim:

• Medulla ossea (Latin term used in medical contexts)
• Spongy tissue (general term)

Antonim:

• Bone cortex (the denser outer layer of bone that contrasts with the inner spongy bone marrow)
• Blood plasma (the liquid component of blood, differentiated from the cells produced by the marrow)
