What is the covering of the long bone called?
periosteum
Structure. The outer shell of the long bone is made of cortical bone also known as compact bone. This is covered by a membrane of connective tissue called the periosteum.
What is the fibrous membrane covering of a bone?
Subchondral tissue. The tough, thin outer membrane covering the bones is called the periosteum. Under the hard outer shell of the periosteum are tunnels and canals. Through these, blood and lymphatic vessels carry nourishment for the bone. Muscles, ligaments, and tendons may attach to the periosteum.
What is the fibrous sheath that covers bone called?
The periosteum is a dense, fibrous connective tissue sheath that covers the bones.
What is a strong fibrous membrane covering long bone?
Periosteum. a strong fibrous membrane covering a long bone everywhere except at joint surfaces.
What are bone cavities called?
Medullary Cavity
The medullary cavity (medulla, innermost part) is the central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue) is stored; hence, the medullary cavity is also known as the marrow cavity….

What are three kinds of movable joints?
The six types of freely movable joint include ball and socket, saddle, hinge, condyloid, pivot and gliding.
Which bones are not covered by periosteum?
The periosteum covers the outside of bones. The periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones, except at the articular surfaces (i.e. the parts within a joint space) of long bones.
What anchors periosteum to bone?
Collagen fibers extending from outer layer of periosteum directly into the bone matrix tightly anchor the periosteum to the bone tissue. These fibers are called Sharpey’s fibres.
What tissue type replaces periosteum on the ends of articulating bones?
Hyaline cartilage
Hyaline cartilage (answer B) is what replaces periosteum on the ends of articulating bones.
What is inside a long bone?
Long bones contain yellow bone marrow and red bone marrow, which produce blood cells. A long bone is a bone that has a shaft and 2 ends and is longer than it is wide. Long bones have a thick outside layer of compact bone and an inner medullary cavity containing bone marrow.
Which is the connective sheath at the end of the bone?
At the end of the bone is the epiphysis, which in young people is separated from the metaphysis by the physis, or growth plate. The periosteum is a connective sheath covering the outer surface of the bone.
What makes up the shaft of a long bone?
-Cavity inside the shaft of long bone -Walls composed of compact bone -Filled with yellow bone marrow, which stores fat *Medullary cavity What is this? Medullary cavity The _________ contains yellow bone marrow Epiphysis – The end of a long bone attached to the shaft – Composed largely of spongey bone
Where are the sutures of the periosteum located?
joint: Fibrous joints. …by the fibrous covering, or periosteum, of two bones passing between them. In the adult, sutures are found only in the roof and sides of the braincase and in the upper part of the face. In the infant, however, the two halves of the frontal bone are separated by a….
What causes the periosteum to be covered with cartilage?
…bony surface is covered by periosteum or by cartilage. In the case of the periosteum, which has blood vessels, pressure causes impairment of blood supply and absorption of underlying bone. On the other hand, pressure on cartilage, which has no blood supply, does not cause absorption.
