How does the periosteum and the endosteum differ in thickness in a chicken leg?

In a chicken leg, the periOSteum, which is the dense connective tissue covering the outer surface of bones, is generally thicker than the endosteum, the thin layer lining the inner surfaces of bones. The periOSteum serves important functions, including muscle attachment and bone growth, contributing to its greater thickness. In contrast, the endosteum is more delicate and plays a role in bone remodeling and the maintenance of the bone marrow environment. This difference in thickness reflects their distinct functions within the skeletal system.
