parosteal. Definitions: 1. Relating to the tissues immediately adjacent to the periosteum of a bone. The definition information for parosteal is provided by Stedman's.
In anatomy the endosteum (plural endostea) is a thin vascular membrane of connective tissue that lines the surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones.his endosteal surface is usually resorbed during long periods of malnutrition, resulting in less cortical thickness. The outer surface of a bone is lined by a thin layer of connective tissue that is very similar in morphology and function to endosteum. It is called the periosteum, or the periosteal surface.
