Periosteum: 

  • It is the sheath around a bone which is thick and tough by nature.
  • It contains osteoblasts which are the bone-forming cells and blood vessels.
  • Periosteum possesses collagen fibres which penetrate the matrix and thus a connection is established between periosteum and matrix.
