The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of the membrane that lines the marrow cavity, which is found within bones. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Endosteum - B) Periosteum - C) Perichondrium - D) Pericardium 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A: Endosteum**: The endosteum is a membrane that lines the marrow cavity of bones. It contains osteogenic cells and reticular connective tissue. This option is likely correct. - **Option B: Periosteum**: The periosteum is the outer covering of bones, specifically the outermost layer of compact long bones. It does not line the marrow cavity, making this option incorrect. - **Option C: Perichondrium**: The perichondrium is a layer of connective tissue that surrounds cartilage, not the marrow cavity. Therefore, this option is also incorrect. - **Option D: Pericardium**: The pericardium is the membrane that encloses the heart. Since it does not relate to the marrow cavity, this option is incorrect as well. 4. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the only correct answer is **Endosteum**, as it specifically lines the marrow cavity in bones. **Final Answer**: The membrane lining the marrow cavity is **Endosteum**. ---
