    The periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones, [1] except at the articular surfaces (i.e. the parts within a joint space) of long bones. (At the joints of long bones the bone's outer surface is lined with "articular cartilage", a type of hyaline cartilage .)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramembranous_ossification

    The periosteum is formed around the trabeculae by differentiating mesenchymal cells. The primary center of ossification is the area where bone growth occurs between the periosteum and the bone. Osteogenic cells that originate from the periosteum increase appositional growth and a bone collar is formed.

Any picture of the exterior of a bone is essentially a picture of the periosteum. It's the white coating on the outside of a bone. WLU 22:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
