When a surgeon is operating on a bone great care is taken to preserve the periosteum. Why is it important to bone healing to take care of this delicate structure?

When a surgeon operates on a bone, they should take great care in preserving the periosteum because that is the major source of blood, nutrients, and, most importantly, osteogenic cells needed for healing.

Wetlands form where water and land meet. a lake with a wetland fringe can fill in with decayed plant and animal material to become a wet meadow. a pond can fill in to become a bog or fen. sediment can fill in a river marsh to become a swamp.flooding of coastal lowlands from rising sea levels has created broad coastal marshes that are protected from wave action by barrier islands or reefs. coastal wetlands also form when rivers deposit sediment as they reach the ocean. plants then take root and hold the soil firm against the forces of tides and waves.
