What does the periosteum?
Peri means around and osteum means bone. So periosteum means the structure that surrounds the bone. This fallows that you have endosteum inside the long bones. Also that you have two layers of periosteum for flat bones of the skull bones and no endosteum there. (This layer acts as barrier between the bone and other tissues that is attached to bones.)
Difference between periosteum and endosteum?
Eggplant
What is the membrane that covers the bone?
Those "membranes" are called periosteum. The periosteum is how bone gets part of its blood supply.
What is epiosteum?
While most tissues have a Endo, Peri, and Epi covering. Bone simply has an endosteum and periosteum. Some older texts will refer to the periosteum as an epiosteum. The periosteum is found enveloping bones with the exception of the articulating joints. The periosteum contains a fibrous outer layer and a cellular inner layer containing progenitor cells.
What is the strong fibrous membrane covering the shaft of the long bone called?
periosteum
What is the location of osteoclasts?
Osteoclasts break down bone (osteo-=bone, -clast=breaks) and osteoblasts build bone. (-blast=builder). This osteoclasts is on the surface of the bone. Usually breaking down and building up of bone is in equilibrium.
Where are osteoblasts produced?
Osteoblast are made in three areas of bone periosteum, endosteum, and the haversian canal.
Which structures allow communication between blood vessels and nerves in the periosteum and endosteum?
Perforating (Volkmann's ) canals.
What is the term for the membrane around the shaft of a long bone?
The periosteum is the membrane around the shaft of a long bone.
Two bone cells located in the periosteum and endosteum are?
osetoblasts and osteoclasts which are both needed for bone formation and repair.
What does the bone have in it?
articular cartage ephiphyseal line spongy bone medullaty cavity nutrient foramen endosteum periosteum
What covers the long bones?
The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.
