Outer most layer of any bone is called the periosteum.

∙ 7y agoOn the surface of the bone is a periosteum which covers the endosteum. The periosteum is a thin fibrocellular membrane that surrounds bone throughout life. The cells of this very thin layer contribute to the growth and development of the bone, repair of the bone following fracture, and the regulation of bone adaptation to mechanical stimuli. Without this membrane, none of these processes could occur.
