Periosteum

Index Periosteum

The periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones, except at the joints of long bones. [1]

Bone

A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the vertebrate skeleton.

Bone healing

Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture.

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

New!!: Periosteum and Central nervous system · See more »

Chondroblast

Chondroblasts, or perichondrial cells, is the name given to mesenchymal progenitor cells in situ which, from endochondral ossification, will form chondrocytes in the growing cartilage matrix.

Dense irregular connective tissue

Dense irregular connective tissue has fibers that are not arranged in parallel bundles as in dense regular connective tissue.

Endochondral ossification

Endochondral ossification is one of the two essential processes during fetal development of the mammalian skeletal system by which bone tissue is created.

Endosteum

The endosteum (plural endostea) is a thin vascular membrane of connective tissue that lines the inner surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones.

New!!: Periosteum and Endosteum · See more »

Epiphyseal plate

The epiphyseal plate (or epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate) is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.

New!!: Periosteum and Epiphyseal plate · See more »

Fibroblast

A fibroblast is a type of biological cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen, the structural framework (stroma) for animal tissues, and plays a critical role in wound healing.

Intramembranous ossification

Intramembranous ossification is one of the two essential processes during fetal development of the gnathostome (excluding chondrichthyans such as sharks) skeletal system by which rudimentary bone tissue is created.

Lamella (surface anatomy)

Lamellae on a gecko's foot. In surface anatomy, a lamella is a thin plate-like structure, often one amongst many lamellae very close to one another, with open space between.

New!!: Periosteum and Lamella (surface anatomy) · See more »

Long bone

The long bones are those that are longer than they are wide.

New!!: Periosteum and Long bone · See more »

Medullary cavity

The medullary cavity (medulla, innermost part) is the central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue) is stored; hence, the medullary cavity is also known as the marrow cavity.

Membrane

A membrane is a selective barrier; it allows some things to pass through but stops others.

New!!: Periosteum and Membrane · See more »

Meninges

The meninges (singular: meninx, from membrane, adjectival: meningeal) are the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord.

New!!: Periosteum and Meninges · See more »

Nociception

Nociception (also nocioception or nociperception, from Latin nocere 'to harm or hurt') is the sensory nervous system's response to certain harmful or potentially harmful stimuli.

New!!: Periosteum and Nociception · See more »

Osteoblast

Osteoblasts (from the Greek combining forms for "bone", ὀστέο-, osteo- and βλαστάνω, blastanō "germinate") are cells with a single nucleus that synthesize bone.

New!!: Periosteum and Osteoblast · See more »

Periostitis

Periostitis, also known as periostalgia, is a medical condition caused by inflammation of the periosteum, a layer of connective tissue that surrounds bone.

New!!: Periosteum and Periostitis · See more »

Progenitor cell

A progenitor cell is a biological cell that, like a stem cell, has a tendency to differentiate into a specific type of cell, but is already more specific than a stem cell and is pushed to differentiate into its "target" cell.

New!!: Periosteum and Progenitor cell · See more »

Sharpey's fibres

Sharpey's fibres (bone fibres, or perforating fibres) are a matrix of connective tissue consisting of bundles of strong predominantly type I collagen fibres connecting periosteum to bone.

New!!: Periosteum and Sharpey's fibres · See more »

Skull

The skull is a bony structure that forms the head in vertebrates.
