🗑
What is the connective tissue structure that covers bones and provides vessels for nutrition, bone cells for growth, & attachments for tendons & ligaments?   Periosteum  
🗑
The process of building bone by depositing calcium salts into the tissue.   Ossification  
🗑
Bone building Cells that develop bone tissue from the cartilage model.   Osteoblasts
