Connective tissue, specifically fibrous connective tissue, plays a key role in ensuring this phenomenon. Fibrous connective tissue provides the strength and support needed for tissues and organs to resist tension and stretching. Examples include ligaments and tendons that connect bones and muscles in the body.
Several sheaths of connective tissue hold the fibers of a skeletal muscle together. These sheaths from internal to external are the first layer is the endomysium (within the muscle), the second is a layer of fibrous connective tissue called perimysium (around the muscle) and the third is the epimysium , a name that means “outside the muscle.

They are also similar in composition to fasciae which connect muscle to muscle.
