Identify the medullary cavity and yellow bone marrow in the given diagram of a long bone.
The medullary cavity is the hollow area in the shaft of the bone, and the yellow bone marrow is shown as the yellow region inside the cavity.
The medullary cavity is the outermost layer of the bone, and the yellow bone marrow is found in the spongy bone at the ends.
The medullary cavity is the red region at the ends of the bone, and the yellow bone marrow is the thin lining inside the shaft.
The medullary cavity is the dense outer layer, and the yellow bone marrow is the blue region in the diagram.
