Accepted Answer

The periosteum is a strong fibrous membrane covering most of the long bone, which serves as a site for muscle attachment, nutrition, and protection. The diaphysis refers to the long, tubular part of the bone, while the epiphysis is the rounded end of the bone where joints form. The endosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue lining the medullary cavity of the bone.
