A fibrous band is a type of connective tissue that consists of dense bundles of collagen fibers, providing structural support and stability to various organs and tissues in the body. These bands can be found in ligaments, tendons, and the fascia surrounding muscles. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of anatomical structures and facilitating movement by connecting muscles to bones or holding organs in place. In some cases, fibrous bands can also form as a result of injury or inflammation, leading to conditions such as adhesions.
A transverse fibrous band on the wrist is called a retinaculum. It acts as a strong band that holds tendons in place, helping to stabilize the structures of the wrist during movement.

fibers
The fascia is a fibrous band or membrane that lies deep to the skin and supports muscles. It separates and compartmentalizes muscles and other internal organs, providing structure and support to the body.
An adhesion is a fibrous band holding structures together abnormally.
Tendons are a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone.
A ligament is a band of fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones to support and stabilize joints. It assists in controlling the range of motion in joints and protects against excessive movements that could cause injury.
A cord or band of dense, tough, inelastic, white, fibrous tissue, serving to connect a muscle with a bone or part
A muscle is a band or bundle of fibrous tissue in a human or animal body. They have the ability to contract, producing movement.
