Sharpey's fibers are strong connective tissue fibers that penetrate into the bone, anchoring the periosteum (the outer layer of the bone) to the bone itself. This mechanism is crucial for the strong attachment of tendons and ligaments to the bone, allowing for efficient transfer of muscular forces to the skeleton.
