Detailed explanation-1: -The periosteum is the sheath outside your bones that supplies them with blood, nerves and the cells that help them grow and heal. The endosteum is a membrane that lines the center of your bones that contain bone marrow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Subchondral tissue. The tough, thin outer membrane covering the bones is called the periosteum. Beneath the hard outer shell of the periosteum are tunnels and canals through which blood and lymphatic vessels run to carry nourishment for the bone. Muscles, ligaments, and tendons may attach to the periosteum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The outer surface of bone is called the periosteum (say: pare-ee-OSS-tee-um). It’s a thin, dense membrane that contains nerves and blood vessels that nourish the bone. The next layer is made up of compact bone. This part is smooth and very hard.

Detailed explanation-4: -The outer surface of the bone is covered with a fibrous membrane called the periosteum(peri-= “around” or “surrounding”). The periosteum contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels that nourish compact bone.

Detailed explanation-5: -periosteum, dense fibrous membrane covering the surfaces of bones, consisting of an outer fibrous layer and an inner cellular layer (cambium). The outer layer is composed mostly of collagen and contains nerve fibres that cause pain when the tissue is damaged.
