Explanation:

The periosteum of a long - bone is a tough outer layer made of dense connective tissue. It provides attachment for muscles and tendons and has blood vessels that supply nutrients to the bone. Cartilage is a different type of connective tissue with a more flexible matrix, and loose connective tissue has a more open and less dense structure compared to the periosteum.
