text: Finally, the observation that ovine periosteum thickness is anatomically site‐specific and decreases with age is consistent with human data59 and clinical observation of thick periostea in children.60 Interestingly, whereas the periosteum of the mouse is merely several cells thick and thus cannot be lifted (rather must be scraped) off of the bone,61 the thickness of ovine periosteum reported in the current study appears to be on the order of magnitude of periosteum thickness of human tissue.
text: Furthermore, the periosteum is a thick layer while endosteum is a thin layer.

text: The cambium and the periosteum as a whole are thick in children and become progressively thinner with age.
text: In young bones the periosteum is thick and very vascular, and is intimately connected at either end of the bone with the epiphysial cartilage, but less closely with the body of the bone, from which it is separated by a layer of soft tissue, containing a number of granular corpuscles or osteoblasts, by which ossification proceeds on the exterior of the young bone.
