WHAT DOES ENDOSTEUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

endosteum

Endosteum

In anatomy the endosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue that lines the surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones. This endosteal surface is usually resorbed during long periods of malnutrition, resulting in less cortical thickness. The outer surface of a bone is lined by a thin layer of connective tissue that is very similar in morphology and function to endosteum. It is called the periosteum, or the periosteal surface. During bone growth, the width of the bone increases as osteoblasts lay new bone tissue at the periosteum. To prevent the bone from becoming unnecessarily thick, osteoclasts resorb the bone from the endosteal side.

Definition of endosteum in the English dictionary

The definition of endosteum in the dictionary is a highly vascular membrane lining the marrow cavity of long bones, such as the femur and humerus.
