[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Horse in the Stable and the Field, Vol. 2: His Varieties, Management in Health and Disease, Anatomy, Physiology, Etc The periosteum is a dense fibrous membrane which covers every part of the surface of the bones, excepting their extremities when they enter into the composition of a joint, its place being then occupied by cartilage (see Joints). When this membrane covers the bones of the skull it is called pericranium, and when it invests the cartilages of the ribs it receives the name perichondrium. It is full of blood-vessels, especially in the young, and they freely communicate with those of the surrounding soft parts. Hence it is extremely liable to inammation, either caused by injury to itself or to the parts which cover it. The marrow, or medullary substance, is contained in the cavities formed within the bones, being of a yellow colour and oily nature in the shafts of the long bones 3 and more or less red, from the admixture with blood, in the at and irregular bones, and in the heads of the long bones. It is contained within the areolar meshes of a membrane, which lines these cavities, answering to the periosteum, which has been already described. This medullary membrane is of excessive tenuity, and is composed of blood-vessels ramifying in fine cellular tissues. The use of marrow in the animal economy is not very clearly demonstrated.
