What is a tough fibrous membrane that covers the shaft of a long bone?
The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.
What connective tissue bands join the articulating ends of bone?
Ligaments.
Describe where dense irregular connective tissue is found on the surface of a long bone?
in the cartilage of the long bone. cartilage is dense connective tissue and the cartilage of the long bone is articular hyaline cartilage, located on the outer surface of the articulating portion of the epiphysis.
What type of bone covers the surface of every bone?
The type of bone that covers the shaft of long bones is called compact bone.
What bone regions are united by fibrous connective tissue?
There is no fibrous connective tissue in bone, but there is dense irregular tissue known as periosteum that covers bones (all except the articulating surfaces) and provides attachment sites for tendons and ligaments.

The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.
Where is dense connective tissue found on the surface of the long bone?
cartilage is dense connective tissue and the cartilage of the long bone is articular hyaline cartilage, located on the outer surface of the articulating portion of the long bone.
What part of the long bone protects articulating surface?
Articular cartilage, also called hyaline cartilage, is the smooth, glistening white tissue that covers the surface of all the freely moveable joints, such as the knee and shoulder, in the human body.
What connective tissue bands join the articulating ends of bone?
Ligaments.

What covers the long bones?
The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.
What connective tissue covering around a bone?
Periosetum is a connective tissue which covers bone. Peri-=around + -osteum=bone.
What connective tissue structure covers the bone except for articular cartilage at the epiphysis?
Periosteum is the connective tissue that covers that parts of bone other than the articular cartilage.
What type of bone covers the surface of every bone?
The type of bone that covers the shaft of long bones is called compact bone.
What bone regions are united by fibrous connective tissue?

Bones are covered with a special tissue called?
Periosteum covers bones. It is a fine tissue.
What is the tight-fitting membrane that covers the surface of the bone?
The priosteum
