What is the membrane that covers the bone?

The membrane that covers bones is called the periosteum. It is a dense, fibrous membrane that contains blood vessels, nerves, and cells involved in bone growth and repair.


Difference between periosteum and endosteum?

The periosteum is a dense membrane of connective tissue that covers the outer surface of bones, while the endosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue that lines the inner surface of bones. The periosteum is involved in bone growth, repair, and nutrition, while the endosteum is involved in bone remodeling and repair.


What is the difference between the periosteum and the endosteum?

The periosteum a membrane with a fibrous outer layer and a cellular inner layer. The periosteum isolates the bound surrounding the tissue, provides a route for the circulatory and nervous supply and actively particiapates in bone growth and repair. The endosteum an incomplete cellular layer, lines the marrow cavity. This layer which is active during bone growth, repair, and remodeling, covers the trabeculae of spongy bone and lines the inner surfaces of the central canals.


What is the outer layer of the bone marrow called?

The outer layer of the bone marrow is called the periosteum, which is a dense fibrous membrane that covers the surface of bones.


What does the osteogenic layer of bone consist of?

The osteogenic layer of bone consists of osteoprogenitor cells, which are stem cells that can differentiate into osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation. It also contains some osteoblasts, which actively produce new bone tissue.

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.


What is the strong fibrous membrane covering the shaft of the long bone called?

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.)

Where are osteoblasts produced?

Osteoblast are made in three areas of bone periosteum, endosteum, and the haversian canal.


What is the medical term meaning structure within the bone?

What covers the long bones?

The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the 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.
