Most fascia of the body that attach to bones attach by which of the following mechanisms? 
Select and explain. 
A. Blending with the covering periosteum, B. Inseing deeply into the cancellous bone, C. Inseing deeply into the cailage, D. Inseing deeply into the diaphysis
A: Blending with the covering periosteum
Answer: A: Blending with the covering periosteum 
Explanation: Fascial straps (retinacula) and fascial coverings of muscles or muscle groups characteristically attach to nearby bones by 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.
