Ultimate Granules.—The ultimate histological ele- Fig. 33. ment, or the smallest element of bones as yet discovered, is made up of pale oval granules, about e oV oth of an inch in diameter. These granules constitute all the substance of the bone $^ti!3w except the minute vessels already mentioned. 88. Hence the microscopic elements of bone are four : 1. Haversian Canals. 2. Lacunae or Bone Corpuscles. 3. Canaliculi or Bone Pores. 4. Ultimate Granules. 89. Periosteum.—In all parts of the body, both solid and fluid, we find that nature has made ample protection by * providing for nearly every organ a firm membranous sheath. This not only serves as a protection and support, but in many cases a means of nutriment. Upon the bones ac- cordingly we find a very firm whitish yellow membrane closely attached to them in most places, and very smooth, called the Periosteum. This occurs on every part of every bone, except at the articulations, and upon the crowns of the teeth. It is, when healthy, perfectly insensible, and contains the vessels which ramify into the bones, being in fact the What are the Bone Pores or Canaliculi ? 87. What is the smallest or ultimate element of bones ? 83. Give the four microscopic elements of bone. 89. What is the color of the Periosteum? On what part of the bones is it wanting? What two important purposes does it subserve f
