Most fascia of the body that attach to bones attach by which of the following mechanisms?
Correct Answer: Blending with the covering periosteum

No deep attachments are usually made by fascia. Cancellous bone is spongy bone, which is usually found in marrow, and is not the site for fascial attachment. Fascia do not usually attach to cailage . Fascia attaches to bony shafts, or diaphyses , superficially the periosteum.
