Structure of the Bones

The PERIOSTEUM is the fibrous membrane that is found on the outside of bones and serves to nourish them. It is well supplied with nerves as well as blood vessels.
The ENDOSTEUM is the membranous layer of tissue lining the cavity of the bones, which produces the marrow.
The HAVERSIAN CANAL is the tiny cavity surrounded by LAMELLAE, LACUNA and CANALICULI which carries the blood and lymph.
JOINTS or ARTICULATIONS are the connections of bones at different parts of their surfaces. There are unmovable joints, as in the skull; slightly movable joints, as in the spine; and freely movable joints, as in the fingers. These are also knows as the three kinds of articulation.
THE SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE is the soft cartilage or fibrous tissue found between the bones at joints, which acts as a cushion.
SYNOVIA is the white, sticky fluid secreted by the Synovial membrane to moist and lubricate the joints.
SUTURES are the jagged lines formed by the interlocking indentations of bones joined together as in the skull.
PROCESSES are the projections, humps or ridges found on a bone.
FOSSAE are the depressions, furrows or cavities found on bones.
