periosteum is composed of what tissue
Periosteum and Endosteum. Periosteum is a layer of vascular, innervated, dense connective tissue. surrounding the non-articular surfaces of bone. Perforating Fibers (also. called Sharpeyâs fibers) are collagen fibers that connect the periosteum to. the bone matrix. The endosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue that lines. the inside of the marrow cavity and any canals passing through the compact. bone. Both the periosteum and the endosteum membranes are osteogenic â. they contain cells that can produce bone.
