The hard outer part of bones is called the periosteum.

Aniyah Fernandez · Answer 2

The outer surface of bone is called the periosteum (say: pare-ee-OSS-tee-um). It's a thin, dense membrane that contains nerves and blood vessels that nourish the bone. The next layer is made up of compact bone. This part is smooth and very hard.
