What are the membranes that cover bone surfaces and contain osteoclasts and
osteoblasts?
Periosteum
– outer double-layered membrane covering the bone. The inner membrane is the
osteogenic layer,
consisting primarily of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The outer membrane is the
fibrous layer
, which is made of dense irregular connective tissue.
Endosteum
– inner bone covering made of connective tissue membrane containing both
osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
