medullary cavity
In the center of the diaphysis of long bones like the humerus and femur, there is a canal called the medullary or marrow cavity. This canal contains bone marrow which produces blood cells.
Endosteum
Blood vessels in these canals supply blood to osteons deeper in the bone and to tissues of the medullary cavity.
The medullary cavity is lined with endosteum, a connective tissue membrane that contains osteoprogenitor cells responsible for bone growth and repair. It helps to maintain the structural integrity of the bone and plays a role in bone remodeling.
