Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sharpey fibers are collagen fibers that help to attach ligaments and tendons to the bone by connecting them to the periosteum, the outermost layer of the bone. The other choices - endosteal fibers, Golgi fibers, Haversian fibers, and Purkinje fibers - are not involved in this specific function of connecting ligaments and tendons to bones.
