Markings on Bones
The surfaces of bones are marked by various projections, depressions and
perforations, each of which has some significance. Projections and
depressions may be articular i.e. taking part in the formation of joints, or
they may mark the attachments of muscles, tendons, ligaments.
Perforations may serve as passageways for blood vessels and nerves.

The Skeleton
Periosteum
Periosteum
The external surface of bones, other than at the joint surfaces, is covered
with a highly vascular, fibrous membrane, called periosteum. It maintains
its connection with the underlying compact bone by means of direct
continuation of its fibers, called Sharpey’s fibers.
Periosteum is composed of two layers, an outer dense fibrous connective
tissue layer and an inner loosely arranged osteogenic, or bone producing
layer. This membrane is of great importance:
1. during development and growth of bones,
2. in adult life, for the nutrition of the underlying bony tissue,
3. for regeneration of bones following fractures.
Periosteum also serves as a means of attachment of muscles, tendons,
and ligaments to the bones.
BASIC STRUCTURES
The Skeleton
Endosteum
Endosteum
A thin layer of connective tissue called endosteum, lines the marrow
cavities. In cancellous bone the marrow cavities (sinusoids) are thin
walled, capillary like spaces, which are lined with retculoendothelial cells,
surrounded by various developmental stages of red and white blood cells.
