Why would a scientist trying to isolate osteoblasts look between the periosteum and the bone in a young animal to find them?

What will be an ideal response?


In growing bones, new bone tissue is deposited more heavily on the outside, or periosteal surface, of a bone. Since it is the osteoblasts that add bone tissue, they are found in higher proportions on the periosteal surface of the bone.
