HI THERE!

QUESTION-

  • What covers the skeleton

ANSWER-

  • periosteum

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 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.
