The document summarizes three key components of bone structure:
1. Periosteum is the membrane lining the outer surface of bones (except at joints) and consists of fibrous and osteogenic layers, providing nourishment and attachment points for muscles and tendons. It contains cells that form new bone after fractures.
2. Endosteum is the delicate lining of marrow spaces and cavities, consisting of a single layer of cells. It has osteogenic potential and can form new bone with stimulation.
3. Haversian systems are the structural units of compact bone.
