The correct sequence from the outer surface to the innermost part of a bone is periosteum (the outer layer of the bone), endosteum (a thin vascular membrane of connective tissue that lines the inner surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones), and finally the medullary cavity (the central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow (fat) is stored).
