Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) is cancer of the bone and bone marrow (“Acute Myelogenous Leukemia” 1). Compared to AML where 10% of AML patients are children‚ Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia accounts for 80% of all childhood acute leukemia’s. ALL occurs in children ages three through seven (Zieve 1).

body. They are located at the intersection of bones‚ and their structures determine the type of movement that will occur at that location. Each joint contains components of the skeletal and muscular systems and connective tissues that function together to allow movement to occur. A ball-and-socket joint is one example of a synovial joint. In a ball-and-socket joint‚ the round head of one bone rests within a cup-shaped depression in another bone (Martini and Bartholomew‚ 2010). This joint is found

Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside the bone where blood cells are made. They are produced by stem cells in the long bones.
