Periosteum is the thin yet tough outermost layer of bones. Its many collagen fibers support the bone and firmly connect it to the surrounding structures. Osteogenic cells in the periosteum play a vital role in the growth and repair of bony tissue.

How is it possible for a baby to grow all of its<br> organs
avanturin [10]

Explanation:

during the embryonic stage the baby grows its organs

Nervous system. This is one of the first things that develop. It includes the formation of the baby’s brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Heart. An S-shaped tube forms on the front of the embryo. This will become the baby’s heart. At first the heart does not beat, but soon it starts beating and pumping an early form of blood.

Face. The baby’s facial features begin to take shape. The eyes and ears form. The eyes move forward on the face, and eyelids form. Pieces of tissue grow and join together to create the forehead, nose, cheeks, lips, and jaw. The nasal passages, mouth, and tooth buds form the baby’s first teeth. A tongue with taste buds also forms.

Arms and legs. At first, the baby’s arms and legs begin as little buds that sprout from the embryo’s sides. As they grow, the arms look like paddles and the legs look like flippers. A ridge appears on the end of each one. They eventually become the baby’s fingers and toes.

Sexual organs. Cells form to become the baby’s eggs or sperm. The baby’s private parts (girl/boy) is visible at the end of the embryonic period.

Muscles and movement. Muscles develop and the embryo begins to move. At first it’s only twitching and reacting to touch. Once the nerves and muscles start working together, the baby can start moving on purpose.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Microvilli is very common in these cells. They increase the absorption area.

Explanation:

Epithelial cell surfaces show different structure shapes that allow the cells to adapt to and accomplish their functions. Most of these structures are related to the absorption surface and the need to move substances.

The development of microvilli is very common in epithelial cells. These are folds or finger-like projections emerging from the apical surface of the cell. <u>Their principal function is to absorb</u>. The microvilli of the intestinal epithelium are very uniform in size and distribution.
