The Periosteum is Deep to the Endosteum

Question

The periosteum is deep to the endosteum.

Accepted Answer

The periosteum is a dense layer of connective tissue that covers the outer surface of bones, while the endosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue that lines the medullary cavity and covers the trabeculae of spongy bone. Therefore, the periosteum is superficial to the endosteum.
