Dense, white, fibrous sheath on the surface of a bone where muscles and tendons attach.<\/p>\n
The fibrous covering of long bones.<\/p>\n
The membrane of connective tissue that closely covers all bones.<\/p>\n
Adherent tissue enclosing a bone.<\/p>\n
A dense layer of connective tissue around a bone.<\/p>\n
A thin layer of membrane that is found on the outer surface of all bones except at the joints. This layer is home to blood vessels and cells that work to repair broken bones.<\/p>\n
Vascular membrane covering bones, except at the extremities, where bones articulate with other bones; it contains nerves and blood vessels that nourish and innervate the enclosed bone.<\/p>\n
A sheath of connective tissue that covers all bone surfaces except the ends. Its rich supply of blood vessels delivers oxygen and nutrients to bone cells, it contains nerve pathways, and it has cells that can develop into bone.<\/p>\n
A layer of dense connective tissue that covers the surface of a bone except at the articular surfaces. The outer layer of the periosteum is extremely dense and contains a large number of blood vessels. The inner layer is more cellular in appearance and contains osteoblasts and fewer blood vessels. The periosteum provides attachment for muscles, tendons, and ligaments.<\/p>\n
The membrane surrounding a bone. It carries blood vessels and nerves for the nutrition and development of bone. When it is irritated, an increased deposit of bone takes place beneath it; if it is destroyed, the bone may cease to grow and a portion may die and separate as a sequestrum.<\/p>\n
The fibrous membrane that ‘*ir^ forms the covering of bones except at their articular surfaces; consists of a dense external layer containing numerous blood vessels and an inner layer of connective tissue cells that function as osteoblasts when the bone is injured and then participate in new bone formation. Periosteum serves as a supporting structure for blood vessels nourishing bone and for attachment of tendons and ligaments.<\/p>\n
The tough membrane that covers bones and contains cells that form new bone during growth and repair.<\/p>\n
The periosteum is a fibrous and vascular membrane that envelops bones.<\/p>\n
The connective tissue layer enveloping all bones in the body, excluding their joint surfaces, is called the periosteum. Within the periosteum are tiny blood vessels and nerves. In the early phases of fracture healing, it generates new bone.<\/p>\n
The fibrous layer that envelops all bone surfaces, except where joints connect.<\/p>\n
