I think that you're talking about the cartilage.
The thin, outer covering of the bone is tough, and provides a safe place for muscles to attach.
The tough outer covering of bone is called the periosteum. It is a dense connective tissue that protects the bone and plays a role in bone growth and repair.
The periosteum is the tough fibrous connective tissue covering of a bone that helps protect and nourish the bone. It also plays a role in bone repair following injury.
The fibrous covering of a bone is called the periosteum.
periosteum :)
Periosteum is a membrane that lines the outer surface of all bones,[1] except at the joints of long bones.
The tough, tight-fitting membrane covering the surface of bone is the periosteum. It consists of dense irregular connective tissue and serves to protect the bone, provide a site for muscle attachment, and aid in bone repair and growth. The periosteum also contains blood vessels and nerves that supply the bone.
The articular cartilage is the thin layer of white tissue covering the bone in the joint space. The articular cartilage is made of hyaline cartilage.
Spongy bone looks like what a sponge looks like. It has many openings and a thin covering of hard bone over it.
The tough outer covering of a bone is called the periosteum. It is a dense, fibrous membrane that protects the bone and provides a site for muscle attachment. The periosteum also contains blood vessels and nerves that help nourish and communicate with the bone tissues.
The fibrous covering of a bone is called the periosteum.
A "bruised bone" typically refers to bleeding that occurs under the tough fibrous covering of the bone called the periosteum. It heals very quickly, and anti-inflammatory medications, ice and rest can help.
