nervous tissue can be found in the ____________ of bone.
periosteum
compact
articular cartilage
endosteum
The periosteum is a dense layer of connective tissue that covers the bones. It contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nervous tissue. Compact bone is dense bone tissue without nervous tissue in the sense asked here. Articular cartilage is smooth cartilage at the ends of bones for joint - movement and lacks nervous tissue. The endosteum is a thin membrane lining the inner surface of bones and does not have the same concentration of nervous tissue as the periosteum.
