Question

Primary features of a long bone. Which of the following correctly pairs the structure at C with its primary component?

periosteum;
cuboidal epithelium endosteum;
dense regular connective tissue endosteum;
areolar tissue periosteum;
dense irregular connective tissue

Answer 1

periosteum ----> dense irregular connective tissue

Step-by-step explanation:

• The periosteum is a dense fibrous membrane that covers the surfaces of bones.

The periosteum consists of two layers-

1. Outer fibrous layer

2. Inner cellular layer

• It is mainly composed of dense irregular connective tissue along with a layer of simple squamous epithelium.
• The function of periosteum is to cover the surface of all the bones except those surfaces that are covered with cartilage such as joints and tendons and ligaments.
