Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The outer covering of the bone is known as the periosteum; the periosteum covers the whole surface of the bone except at the ligament attachment, tendon attachment, and an area covered by articulating cartilage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anatomically, periosteum covers the majority of the bony structures with the exception of their intra-articular surfaces and sesamoid bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Periosteum layers It’s made of thick collagen fibers. Most of the periosteum’s blood vessels and nerves are in the outer layer. The inner layer (sometimes called the cambium layer) contains the osteoprogenitor cells and the osteoblasts they create when your bone is growing or needs to heal.
