Fat, also called adipose tissue when it is stored in the body, can be found in the medullary cavity of long bones as yellow bone marrow.
The medullary cavity is the central cavity of bone shafts. This is where red and yellow bone marrow are stored. The medullary cavity is also involved in the formation of red and white blood cells.
The endosteum lines the medullary cavity.
Fat is stored within the bone marrow of long bones, such as the femur and tibia. The yellow bone marrow contains adipose tissue, which serves as a storage site for fat cells.
The medullary cavity is a space within the diaphysis (shaft) of a long bone. It contains yellow bone marrow, which stores fats and serves as an energy reserve. Additionally, the medullary cavity provides space for blood vessels and nerves to pass through the bone.
Another name for the medullary cavity of the bone is the marrow cavity.
The yellow marrow in the medullary cavity in long bones functions as a fat storage area.
