How Bone Marrow Keeps You Alive

I'd love to be able to talk with these guys about my bones. I have bone marrow cancer. It's called Myelofibrosis. Basically, the way I understand it, instead of my bones creating nice healthy bone marrow/red blood cells...they're creating scar tissue instead. The task of creating my blood cells has fallen onto my poor spleen. And since my spleen is working overtime...it's horribly enlarged and painful. My cancer also creates a lot of liver issues/pain. I'm tired *all the time* and my only "cure" is a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, it took the drs a good decade to figure out what was wrong with me (they literally just told me that I was lazy), and at this point, in the transplant surgeon's opinion, I have so much organ damage that I probably won't survive a transplant. So I get to live with this until my body finally gives up. I have a funny feeling that looking inside my body would be extremely interesting/disturbing. I look ok on the outside (which is part of the reason my diagnosis took SO long to happen), but my insides are an absolute mess. I love this channel SO much! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the rest of us! To be honest... As curious as I am about my condition...I really don't want to know all of the nitty-gritty details. It's too scary. 😑

[@bigp9983]

I could only imagine the pain you’re in everyday, I could only imagine the nonstop agony you go thru in all aspects of life. I have aplastic anemia and your cure is my only cure too. I’m only 20 years old but I know anyone above that, will have a much harder time. I wish you the best and if you ever need someone to talk too just let me know! I’ll be getting a bone marrow transplant soon so I’ll be in the hospital for a month and some change, I will have nothing but time.

I’m with you,I have multiple myeloma,a blood and bone marrow cancer. I have a fine line between needing to understand and too much and totally freaking out. I had an autologous stem cell transplant.

You asked if we've ever had a bone break. Well here goes:- 1. fractured left femur, 2. Book fracure to pelvis, 3. 3 ribs, 4. Right shoulder, 5. Right clavicle, 6. Skull. As well as 2 dislocated hips, and far TOO MANY soft tissue and nerve damage. All happened when I was hit by a hit & run car. I was walking. You mention the pain receptors in the membrane around the bone I fealt no pain at all! I was not knocked out. But, the pain kicked in with VENGEANCE the moment the paramedics started to scrape me off the road, and on to a spinal board. The trip to the hospital in the ambulance was pain multiplied 1,000% they gave me the maximum amount of painkillers, but nothing worked! I have always said that I'd never complain about pain again, after going through that journey from hell. Lol. 10 weeks in hospital, as well as 1 in ICU. I spent 2 years in a wheelchair I was told I'd never walk again! But with everlasting thanks to ALL the medical staff of the NHS. I spent another year and a half on crutches. And now I'm able to walk (sometimes with a stick) but I can walk! Addendum: you mention how bone marrow keeps us alive. It almost killed me. Apparently some of my bone marrow from the fractured femur got in to my bloodstream and settled in my lungs. Didn't feel a thing, until a nurse got me to move in my hospital bed, so she could rearrange my pillows. Suddenly I couldn't breathe! Not in or out! I panicked, the nurse realised I was suffocating, so she hit me so damn hard on my back that I coughed up a fatty clot (fatty embolism) I grabbed my water glass, and the clot filled it. I got rushed to ICU & put on an alcohol drip.

Thank you, Institute of Human Anatomy - you have an excellent channel. Not only do you promote higher learning, but also, you keep the flame of human intelligence and scientific curiosity going. In a world that has gone so wrong, you are a reminder that we as mankind have a higher calling than just the drugs, the parties, the degeneracy, and the murder of so many of our fellow men (and women). Keep up the good work - and as always, your videos are educational and a pleasure to watch. By the way - I could be wrong, but compact bone is also known as cortical bone, and spongy bone can be called cancellous bone. The human femur also has a strange bend toward the dorsal plane. It is often not in a straight line, as seen in profile, from the acetabulum to the tibial plateau, it falls, then bends slightly backwards somewhere in the middle. A sort of bow...

Carolyn Aitken In the past, I had handled real skeletons in art school that borrowed them from a local hospital. As a student, I had always treated all human remains with respect and be gentle in handling each bone. After that, I never had nightmares or sleep paralysis. If you are disrespectful and rough with them, you will have trouble from vindictive souls. I read somewhere that a gravedigger once dropped a skull onto a hard ground. After that, he had a pounding headache.

Șmecherie la pateu

[@MrAssChapman]

This was super cool, but left me with even more questions. First of all I would love to actually see where the veins enter the bone. Second I have to wonder just how those tiny beams are strong enough to support the entire body. Its crazy to me that the bone in your hip could have such low density and still function. Would also love to know more about how muscles attach to bones.

[@Adriana.Gabriela]

It's all about the structure and firmness+hardness of the bone

[@jayhill2193]

Look at the Eifdel Tower. It was inspired by a chicken bone. We use that principle all the time, cause having full dense steel beams would be bloody expensive and way to heavy to be of any structual benefit. Though, like it was said in the video, nature rivals the best we can come up with, cause it's really suphisticated.

[@deepakrajendra8019]

You can look at architecture like metal bridges, Eiffel tower and even corrugated cardboard to know how it works. The force that is put on it due to its own weight and the weight of stuff above it is spread out over a wide area to give it stability.

[@jokejokic9409]

Muscles connect to the periosteum, not the bone. Now you know a little more.😁

[@jasonreed7522]

In general for engineering you can do mass optimization by modeling a solid object and applying the expected load to it and anywhere that the internal forces of the solid object are 0 you removec because it's litterally dead weight. Your bones being living tissue that can grow and erode (my brother broke his collar bones, 3 months apart perfectly symmetrical but 2 different causes. His xrays were facinating and the doctors explained how bones heal.) so they can in real time build up where forces regularly are unsupported or the tiny beams are over loaded and erode away beams that don't get regular loading. The end result being what looks like a spinge or bread except instead of it having a random beam pattern it has a perfectly "engineered" structure for the loads experienced by the bone, and all the structural dead space is given over to marrow for other tasks. Fun fact, blood is made inside bones most likely because they are the darkest part of the inside of your body, and blood cells do better when made away from UV and other radiation. (But bones most likely originated as calcium stroes and quickly became armor for fish in the cambrian and eventually became proper internal bones.

My Dad was just in the hospital in and out of the ICU because his Red Blood Cells were literally blowing up and falling apart… So many doctors were stumped. Thankfully they pulled in a Hematologist (a blood doctor) who figured out what was going on. He has Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia. Basically, his white blood cells were attacking his red blood cells as if they were foreign objects or even a disease and DESTROYING THEM! He’s had to have several bags of blood transfused, IVIG Therapy (Intravenous Immune Globulin) which is a blood product made up of antibodies that can be given intravenously (in an IV). They also put him on a REALLY HIGH AMOUNT of steroids (like Prednisone). He finally was able to come home last night but will be going to MANY doctor specialists’ appointments for many weeks to come. I’m just happy that they finally figured out what was wrong… we almost lost him 😔 He is 74 years old but is still 6 ft. 5 in. tall and doesn’t look or act his age.

I’ve had 7 bone marrow biopsies. And if you’re curious, I always described it as a piece of grated cheese and thats because they literally grind out just a small piece from the back of your pelvis. I had a bone marrow transplant back in November 2018 for acute myeloid leukaemia (triliniage dysplasia/MDS that had already started developing into aml but they treated it as aml). When ever I talk about the bone marrow, I usually say that your bone marrow is as essential as your heart because you can literally not survive without a functioning bone marrow. It is your blood factory! As I like to call it.

[@thaiylooze8217]

[@JD3Gamer]

I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia a decade ago. It’s a disease where the bone marrow fails. It’s thought that it’s an autoimmune disease, however, more research needs to be done to know for sure. I started with an immune suppressant treatment plan but that didn’t work so I got a bone marrow transplant and that worked great. Also, during that time I had tons of blood transfusions in order to keep my blood cell counts at a somewhat normal level and I had to wear an N95 mask everywhere in public. So I have 3 requests, donate blood if you can, sign up to be a bone marrow donor if you can, and get vaccinated to protect those, like me a decade ago, whose immune system is severely weakened. Thank you.

Since you asked... I broke my femur in a traffic accident 4 years ago. According to the doctors it was quite a task to put together all the fragments again. My right leg is about 15mm shorter now. Also it seems, the periosteum suffered a lot of damage and I developed a pseudoarthrosis, which means, there is still a hole in the bone. The initial fracture was fixed with a PFN, which was switched to a stronger one a few months later. Last year we (the doctors) extracted bone marrow from my left femur and applied it to the bone on the right. It helped. A little.

I have secondary cancer in my bones . I can’t imagine what it looks like . Is it on the outer compact bone , like a tumour or is it in the bone marrow ? From what I’ve learned now from watching I know that the one place that is bad is my spine . It’s also on the top of my head, my shoulders and femurs. Ooh ...my oncologist is going to be asked to explain in more depth now that I understand so much more about bones .😂🤣 . Thank you it all makes more sense now . I have learned so much about the body since I found your site . I never did biology at school due to moving from one teaching system in Scotland to England at the age of 13 where the new teaching system was at the stage of choosing subjects whereas I was still studying a general subject system and wouldn’t choose subjects for another year . We don’t go to secondary school until 12 years old in Scotland and they go at 11 in England .

i had symptoms of anemia come on over the course of a year or so and every tested parameter about my blood was low, even blood volume. it took fainting in front of the doctor with critically low blood pressure to get taken seriously. turns out i wasn't having internal bleeding but instead the combination of medication i was on had started shutting down my red bone marrow among other things. fun! i did eventually get blood production up and running again but i get to keep surprise organ damage as a souvenir. if something feels wrong keep looking until you find a doctor who will listen to you.

[@kennethkho7165]

7:24 didn't expect to learn photography here and didn't know cameras can do that, though of course it can (lens equations) side note, it's actually very interesting why we make blood cells and store fat inside bones. this usually means they're important, like how your brain sits inside a skull. we make new blood cells fairly often, every 120 days, and it requires stem cells. stem cells are the blue print of all types of cells resulted from the fertilization of egg and sperm, so we safely store stem cells inside bone marrow. we also store fat inside bone marrow as they're most secure from attacks and from bacteria, as this is vital energy supply during hard times.

I am a SPT (student physical therapist) and understanding anatomy is foundamental when trying to understand what is the cause of someone's injury. Having found the channel recently, you do a fantasic job explaining the way everything is interconnected and breaking down the explanation! The cadaver's are some of the cleanest and most detailed I have seen which allows for a great learning opportunity when visuallizing the location of all the structures within our bodies. One thing I have a question about is the attachment of ligaments or tendons to bone, more so how exactly do they connect to one another? If you have a video on the topic already or resources to look into the topic, it would be much appreciated!

In my country, or at lest my region, (village in eastern Europe) bone marrow was considered super healthy and like a treat, a lot of older people eat it.

I've broken a few bones, including my right elbow, and they healed on their own because I couldn't afford a doctor. I didn't even notice the broken elbow because I had also ruptured a tendon in my rotator cuff during the same stupid accident. That also healed by itself (with the ends about 2 cm. apart). I didn't find out about this until some 30 years later after the shoulder joint had begun to destabilize and cause pain. smh.

We do eat bone marrow here in France. Marrow bones are part of many traditional french dishes (and what about the italians and their famous "osso bucco"). You can add it to simple soups and let it melt or enjoy your bone marrow as a side dish on a bit of toasted bread. I've seen in restaurants they would help half bones cooked in the oven. That is fine too...

Marrow from beef bones is delicious! It's like beef flavored butter. I've heard venison is good, too but I've never had it. Keep the marrow bone frozen, preheat an oven to 350°F, brush butter on one end, set buttered end down on foil lined baking dish or sheet and roast for about 1/2 hr to 40 min., depending on size of the bone(s). I like crusty bread or little toasts to spread out the beef butter on. Roast some little potatoes and or other root vegetables with the bones tastes great, too.

Great video! I’ve been waiting for something like this especially my husband broke 4 bones in his back due to a bad fall last month and even if he’s in massive pain, it’s still not considered an emergency thing (very frustrating!) The parts that are broken are: CT Lumbar and Sacral Spine: Right sided fractures of the Transverse Processes of L1, L2,L3, and L4. Bilateral pars defects at L5 and S1. And he still hasn’t seen by a Doctor and it’s been a month now. With his condition, will he be okay or he might get paralyzed?

[@theanatomylab]

I can see why he is in a lot of pain. Has he not been seen by a doctor because he can't get into one or doesn't want to see one? You can have spine fractures, like the above, without compressing the spinal cord, but that doesn't mean that it can't affect the surround nerves that pass between the vertebrae.

[@blanchespinkblossom]

@@theanatomylab He just can't into one. I brought him to the ER a couple of times but because of Covid, all ERs here in Portland are jam-packed. Do all broken bones need surgery to fix or there are alternatives? Thank you by the way for your reply, I appreciate it a lot!

He needs to get with his primary care doctor, and begin the process of being referred to trustworthy pain management doctors and orthopedic specialists. It can be a tough process, especially with the ridiculous witch-hunting and legislation that specifically targets legitimate pain management doctors as well as pain patients. I have had my spine fused L-2 through S-1. Two separate surgeries over the course of 3 days. First was ALIF, second was TLIF, as minimally invasive as possible. You both need a good start as you both begin the journey to his pain management and healing. I wish you both the very best.

I once fractured my arm, it was soo close to the elbow. For those curious. I was wake boarding at the back of a jet ski. The jet ski did a turn so we can head back to the camp. Since we are in a river, tree roots and trees under the river are a risk. Well during the turn, I sped right into a root in the water. Because I was turning fast, I couldn’t move out the way. Hitting the root, the speed made me skip across the water back to land. And there happened to be a tree there. I skipped across the water into a tree, fracturing my arm. The adrenaline prevented me from feeling the pain until an hour later. But I did feel the pain when I put pressure on it to get on the jet ski to head back.

I've personally eaten bone marrow, from cow's bone if i remember correctly, and much like you'd assume from hearing that it's fat, it indeed tastes very fatty. It's a different kind of fat, being much more liquid, and the way I've eaten it is basically from a bone that was cut vertically, like cutting a tube to make a roof gutter or something like that, then the cut bone get grilled as if it was a cut of meat, and the marrow basically boils in the bone, softening up and becoming a bit liquid. I usually put the bone marrow on a tortilla to make a "marrow taco", pretty tasty and fatty, you could also put it in a quesadilla, which can give it more consistency so it doesn't feel too liquid or slimy.

Question, so when you say the trabecule can build themselves up based on activity- getting stronger for walking and running... Can it decay? I mean, like, if you've gone from an active life to a very inactive life does the trabecule downgrade and lose what it's built? Oh, oh, and one more question; is there a certain age where it doesn't build up? As in if you've had an inactive life and wait till your 40s to go active, will your bones still strengthen?

im curious to how you preserve bone structures. is it the same as other part of the body by just using a lot of formalin, does it use different preservatives, or does it dlneed none at all?

[@theanatomylab]

We don't have to do any preserving of the bone tissue on the skeleton. The other dissections you saw in the video were preserved though as they still had the soft tissues attached.

[@RisqueBisquet]

I don't know how they do it for humans, but I preserve a lot of animal skeletons. Once the bones have been defleshed (and there's many ways to achieve this) I soak them in acetone for a while to de-grease them. Then I soak them in hydrogen peroxide to whiten them. Generally, the longer you make this process last, the better the results.

@@theanatomylab oh interestinggg, so bone structures do hold up well then yeah? the human body is amazing!

[@najmaht.a.1314]

[@RisqueBisquet]

@@najmaht.a.1314 The degreasing is the important part. Grease contains bacteria, so aside from smelling bad, it also causes decomposition. The whitening is largely cosmetic, but the peroxide can also dissolve tiny scraps of flesh you may have missed. Once they're white however, they stay like that pretty much indefinitely. (assuming you dont spill your coffee on them or something like that.)
