and develops in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft‚ spongy center of certain bones that produces the three major blood cells: white blood cells to fight infection; red blood cells that carry oxygen; and platelets that help with blood clotting and stop bleeding. When a child has leukemia‚ the bone marrow‚ for an unknown reason‚ begins to make white blood cells that do not mature correctly‚ but continue to reproduce themselves. • Leukemia is diagnosed by bone marrow aspiration or biopsy

clots to prevent blood loss. Red blood cells or erythrocytes develop in the bone marrow and transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells. RBCs also transport carbon dioxide from cells and into the lungs to be exhaled. White blood cells protect the body from infection.

lymph cells: T cells and B cells. When B cells respond to an infection‚ they change into plasma cells. The plasma cells are found mainly in the bone marrow—the soft‚ inner part of some bones. The plasma cells make proteins called antibodies that attack and help kill germs. When plasma cells grow out of control‚ they can form a tumor‚ usually in the bone marrow. This type of tumor is called a myeloma‚ and if there are many tumors they are called multiple myeloma. If there is only one tumor‚ it is called
