what is the main function of the periosteum
The function of periosteum is to also provide blood and nutrients to the bone. The periosteum is attached to the bone by resilient collagen fibers called Sharpeyâs fibers. Also referred to as bone or perforating fibers, this network of strands binds this protective membrane to the entire bone.hese are responsible for regenerating or replicating new cells. The function of periosteum cells is to develop into new cells as a bone grows but it does not have the ability to replicate indefinitely.
