Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The periosteum is secured to the underlying bone by perforating (Sharpey's) fibers, which are collagen fibers that extend from the periosteum into the bone matrix. These fibers help to anchor the periosteum to the bone and provide additional strength and stability to the bone-tendon and bone-ligament interfaces.
