ENDOSTEUM


The 'endosteum' is a thin layer of connective tissue which lines the surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones.[1] The outer surface of a bone is lined by a thin layer of connective tissue that is very similar in morphology and function to endosteum. It is called "periosteum".
