The degree of vascularity conforms to the activity of the periosteum. The endosteum is a thin fibrous membrane which lines the medullary cavity and the larger Haversian canals. The marrow (Medulla ossium) occupies the interstices of the spongy bone and the medullary cavity of the long bones. There are two varieties in the adult— red and yellow. In the young subject there is only red marrow (jMeduUa ossiuni rubra), but later this is replaced in the medullary cavity by yellow marrow (Medulla ossium flava). The red marrow contains several types of characteristic cells and is a blood-forming substance, while the yellow is practically ordinary adipose tissue.' Vessels and Nerves.—It is customary to recognize two sets of arteries—the periosteal and the medullary. The former ramify in the periosteum and give off.
