General anatomy of a long bone (fig 5. 2-5. 4) Cortex = outer portion of bone (fig 5. 3c: made of hard compact bone, the superficial layer of compact bone is covered by periosteum (fig 5. 4) Periosteum: a connective tissue wrapping that is connected to the deep fascia, it is complete everywhere except within a joint, where the edges or ends of two bones contact one another. Isolates and protects the bone from surrounding tissues, provides a route and a place of attachment for circulatory and nervous supply. Actively participates in bone growth and repair, and attaches the bone to the connective tissue network of the deep fascia.
