endosteum
The tissue that covers the medullary cavity is called endosteum. This thin membrane lines the inner surface of the bone, providing a surface for bone growth, repair, and remodeling. It also contains osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are essential for bone maintenance and metabolism.
medullary cavity
The type of marrow in the medullary canal is primarily yellow marrow, which is composed mainly of adipose (fat) tissue. Yellow marrow serves as a fat storage area and can convert to red marrow in response to severe blood loss or increased demand for blood cell production. In children, the medullary canal contains red marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells, but as individuals age, it is gradually replaced by yellow marrow.
In the center of the diaphysis of long bones like the humerus and femur, there is a canal called the medullary or marrow cavity. This canal contains bone marrow which produces blood cells.
