To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the bones of the skeleton are invested by a fibro-vascular membrane, the periosteum, which conveys to them the great majority of the blood-vessels which supply them, and which contains on its inner layer certain cells osteoblasts which are the active agents in the growth of bone, and in virtue of which the periosteum possesses the power of forming new bone. Those bones which articulate with others have no periosteal covering over their articular ends, which are tipped with cartilage. The ex...ternal part of all bones has a very dense structure ; the interior is either hollowed out into a cavity termed the medullary cavity, or is occupied by a trellice-work of bony plates which constitute the cancellated tissue. Those bones which possess a medullary cavity present near their articular ends much cancellated tissue. The medullary cavity lodges the medulla or yellow marrow, which is composed of fat cells supported by a frame work of connective tissue, and abundantly supplied with blood-vessels; the cancelli or spaces of the cancellated tissue afford support to the so-called red marrow, which is a tissue in which a large number of cells identical with the colourless cells of the blood are found, besides certain cells which resemble the nucleated coloured corpuscles of embryonic blood.
