Bone Marrow. The bone marrow gives rise to all of the cells engaged in the defense mechanisms of the body (with minor exceptions). In babies it is found in all the bones, but moving through puberty it is replaced in the long bones by fat so that in adults it is found only in the central bones, such as the ischium.The key cells in bone marrow are the hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to the lymphoid stem cells and the myeloid stem cells.But we put off red blood cells until the spring.). 1  Lymphocytes. 2  Lymphocytes are the only cells capable of adaptively (specifically) making the molecules (antibodies and T cell receptors) that specifically recognize antigens, which are molecules foreign to the body.
Sometimes cancerous lymphocytes are found in both the bone marrow and lymph nodes when the cancer is first diagnosed, which can make it hard to tell if the cancer is leukemia or lymphoma. If more than 25% of the bone marrow is replaced by cancerous lymphocytes, the disease is usually considered leukemia.hese are the main cells that make up lymphoid tissue, a major part of the immune system. Lymphoid tissue is found in lymph nodes, the thymus, the spleen, the tonsils and adenoids, and is scattered throughout the digestive and respiratory systems and the bone marrow.
