Question

Covering around bone is called

• A. Perichondrion
• B. Periosteum
• C. Epiosteum
• D. Endosteum

Answer 1

The correct option is B Periosteum

• Perichondrium is the covering surrounding cartilage made up of dense irregular tissues.
  
• Periosteum is the name given to the outer covering of a bone made up of connective tissues, osteogenic cells, and osteoblasts.
  
• No such structure with the name epiosteum exists.
  
• Endosteum is the membrane that lines the medullary (marrow) cavity of bones, consisting of osteogenic cells and scattered osteoclasts.

So, the correct answer is 'Periosteum'.
