How much bone marrow is typically collected during a bone marrow biopsy?

A few cc;: Say a teaspoon to a tablespoon. You will replace it the same day.

About 1/2 a teaspoon: It depends on the depth of the bone marrow needle and the depth to which the doctor is able to insert it, but the amount is usually very small.
