A bone marrow transplant takes a donor’s healthy blood-forming cells and puts them into the patient’s bloodstream, where they begin to grow and make healthy red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Patients receive high doses of chemotherapy to prepare their body for the transplant. Then on transplant day, the patient receives the donated cells in a process that is like getting blood or medicine through an intravenous (IV) catheter, or tube.
A bone marrow transplant is when special cells (called stem cells) that are normally found in the bone marrow are taken out, filtered, and given back either to the same person or to another person.
An autologous stem cell transplantation is a usual stem cell transplant, but with with a twist. The stem cells come from the patients own blood or bone marrow. They can be used to treat diseases in the bone marrow or even repair the marrow.
A Bone Marrow Transplant is a procedure to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with the healthy bone marrow stem cells. Bone marrow transplant is also known as Stem Cell Transplant. BMT is a procedure performed for the patients suffering from malignant blood disorders (Leukemia, multiple myeloma and lymphoma etc.) as well as non-malignant blood disorders (sickle cell anemia, aplastic anemia and thalassemia etc.). Bone Marrow Transplant is not a surgery as we think of it, this is a procedure similar to blood transfusion, however this procedure is a complex one requiring sophisticated infrastructure and machineries. In the procedure when healthy blood stem cells are transplanted to the patient, these healthy blood cells go to the bone marrow starting the production of fresh blood cells. i.e., RBCs, Platelets and WBCs.
When bone marrow transplantation is successful, it prolongs the life of a person who might have otherwise died from the disease that caused damage to the bone marrow.
The first successful bone marrow transplant was in 1973.
Noncancerous diseases for which bone marrow transplantation can be a treatment option include aplastic anemia, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and severe immunodeficiency.

well bone marrow is a substance that is inside of the bone, so there for bone marrow is part of the skeletal system.

In a procedure called "allogeneic bone marrow transplant," a donor is found whose marrow matches that of the patient.
Bone Marrow Transplantation
If it's a blood donor, you don't need to. BMBP'S REPLY-I accept but we are talking about bone marrow transplantation
Bone marrow transplantation is being tested as a treatment option when lymphomas do not respond to conventional therapy, or when the patient has had a relapse or suffers from recurrent lymphomas.

Bone marrow transplants involve replacing damaged bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. This can be used to help many stem cell related illnesses, sometimes including cancer.
