Examples of periosteum in the following topics:
-
- Bone fractures are repaired through physiological processes in the periosteum via chrondroblasts and osteoblasts.
- The healing process is mainly determined by the periosteum (the connective tissue membrane covering the bone).
- The periosteum is one source of precursor cells which develop into chondroblasts and osteoblasts that are essential to the healing of bone.
- Days after fracture, the cells of the periosteum replicate and transform.
-
- The periosteum is formed and bone growth continues at the surface of trabeculae.
- The primary center of ossification is the area where bone growth occurs between the periosteum and the bone.
- The first site of ossification occurs in the primary center of ossification, which is in the middle of diaphysis (shaft).The perichondrium becomes the periosteum.
- The periosteum contains a layer of undifferentiated cells (osteoprogenitor cells) which later become osteoblasts.
-
- Dense, irregular connective tissue forms a sheath (periosteum) around the bones.
- The periosteum assists in attaching the bone to surrounding tissues, tendons, and ligaments.
- The periosteum is the connective tissue on the outside of bone that acts as the interface between bone, blood vessels, tendons, and ligaments.
-
- The membrane that occupies the place of the future bone resembles connective tissue, and ultimately forms the periosteum; it is composed of fibers and granular cells in a matrix.
- Subsequently successive layers of bony tissue are deposited under the periosteum and around the larger vascular channels that become the Haversian canals, so that the bone increases much in thickness.
- The perichondrium becomes the periosteum that contains a layer of undifferentiated cells (osteoprogenitor cells) which later become osteoblasts.
-
- The osteoblast, the bone cell responsible for forming new bone, is found in the growing portions of bone, including the periosteum and endosteum.
- Immature osteogenic cells are found in the deep layers of the periosteum and the marrow.
-
- Volkmann's canals are channels that assist with blood and nerve supply from the periosteum to the Haversian canal.
- Young periosteum is more vascular with its vessels communicating more freely with those of the shaft than in the adults and has more metaphyseal branches.
-
- The meningeal branches (recurrent meningeal or sinuvertebral nerves): These branch from the spinal nerve and re-enter the intervertebral foramen to serve the ligaments, dura, blood vessels, intervertebral discs, facet joints, and periosteum of the vertebrae.
-
- At
either end of the tendon, its fibers intertwine with the fascia of a muscle or
the periosteum (a dense fibrous covering of a bone), allowing force to be
dissipated across the bone or muscle.
-
- Section through occipitosphenoid synchondrosis of an infant, including the cartilage, perichrondrium, and periosteum.
-
- At the same time, osteoblasts via intramembranous ossification, produce new bone tissue beneath the periosteum.
- The erosion of old bone along the medullary cavity and the deposition of new bone beneath the periosteum not only increase the diameter of the diaphysis, but also increase the diameter of the medullary cavity.
