Joint cavities

Perforating fibers are
Fibers that become incorporated into bone tissue

Strength of attachments
Functions of periosteum
Isolates bone from surrounding tissues
Provides a route for blood vessels and nerves
Participates in bone growth and repair
Periosteum also contains
Network of lymphatic vessels
Sensory nerves
The endosteum is an
Incomplete cellular layer that lines the medullary cavity
The endosteum is active during
Bone growth, repair, and remodeling
The endosteum covers
Trabeculae of spongy bone
The endosteum lines
Central canals of compact bone
