Bone Periosteum
- Bone is surrounded by a layer of dense connective tissue, the periosteum.
- A thin layer of cell-rich connective tissue, the endosteum, lines the surface of the bone facing the marrow cavity.
- Both the periosteum and the endosteum possess osteogenic potency.
- Following injury, cells in these layers may differentiate into osteoblasts (bone forming cells) which become involved in the repair of damage to the bone.
