Common integument
- Forms the outer shell of skeletal parts
- Forms the shaft of long bones
- Differs in thickness, conforms to the stress and strain to which the bone is subjected
Compact/Dense bone
Largely calcified interstitial substance
Bone matrix
It consists of bony plates and spicules which run in various directions. It also forms the bulk of short bones and in variable distance along shaft of long bones.
Cancellous/Spongy bone
Connective tissue that covers the non articular
outer surface of the bone?
Periosteum
It lines the e medullary cavity and the nutrient
canals of the bone? It is similar to periosteum but thinner.
Endosteum
