Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sharpey’s fibres (bone fibres, or perforating fibres) are a matrix of connective tissue consisting of bundles of strong collagenous fibres connecting periosteum to bone. They are part of the outer fibrous layer of periosteum, entering into the outer circumferential and interstitial lamellae of bone tissue.
Detailed explanation-2: -The outer surface of bone is covered by periosteum, which is bound to bone by bundles of collagen fibers known as Sharpey’s fibers, and the inner bone surface is lined with endosteum (Fig.
Detailed explanation-3: -The periosteum is connected to the bone by strong collagenous fibres called Sharpey’s fibres, which extend to the outer circumferential and interstitial lamellae of bone.
