Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marrow cavity of the diaphysis of an adult humerus would contain yellow bone marrow. Red bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells, is typically found in the epiphysis and flat bones. The periosteum is a fibrous connective tissue membrane that covers the outer surface of bones, and is not located within the marrow cavity. Compact bone refers to the dense, hard outer layer of bone tissue, which is not located within the marrow cavity.
