The generic term for connective tissue surrounding muscles, muscle groups, nerves, blood vessels, and otherwise binds structures together is called a "fascia". Fascia are classified by their particular layers, functions and location.
Superficial fascia is located in the subcutis (the lowest layer of the skin, which includes hair, scales, feathers, hooves and nails as appropriate to an invertebrate animal) in most of a body, and blends with the next layer of meshed collagen fibers (the "reticular layer").
Visceral fascia (also known as "parietal fascia") surrounds organs in two layers, and suspends them layers of connective-tissue membranes.
Deep/muscle fascia is the name of the specific membrance that surrounds individual muscles and also divides groups of muscles.
Fasciae contain closely-packed bundles of collagen fibers that grow in a wavy pattern, parallel to the direction of force applied to the muscle when it's expanded or contracted.

What is the removal of fibrous membrane tissue separating muscle?
The fibrous membrane surrounding each muscle is the fascia. This membrane comprises connective tissue.
What connective tissue surrounds the diaphysis of long bone?
periosteum : tough fibrous connective tissue membrane that covers the outside of the diaphysis. this protects the bone and serves as a point of attachment.
What is the fibrous tissue that covers muscles?
connective tissue
What bone regions are united by fibrous connective tissue?
There is no fibrous connective tissue in bone, but there is dense irregular tissue known as periosteum that covers bones (all except the articulating surfaces) and provides attachment sites for tendons and ligaments.
The Tough connective tissue membrane that covers most parts of all bones?
The strong membrane that surrounds the surface of the bone is called the periosteum. There is no periosteum at the joints of the long bones, like the femur.
What is the structure of cartilage tissue?
cartilage consists of a dense fibrous tissue collagen fibre embedded in chondroitin substance. A membrane of irregular connective tissue covers most of the cartilages.there are different types of cartilages hyaline, elastic,fibrous based on composition.
Membrane surrounding an entire nerve?
Epineurium is a tough fibrous sheath that covers the whole nerve.
What is the fibrous membrane that covers the bone?
here's the answer. the outer layer of the bone is covered by fibrous membrane known as periosteum, which is the place where the muscles adhere.
What is the tough fibrous membrane that covers the shaft of the long bone?
the periostenum
Is the tough fibrous membrane that covers the shaft of the long bone?
the periostenum
What is a tough fibrous membrane that covers the shaft of a long bone?
The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.
What is the difference between serous and fibrinous exudates?
The serous layer is formed by connective Tissue and mesoepithelial cells. It is also called serosa or serous membrane.It covers stomach small intestine and large intestine. The fibrous layer is formed by connective tissue.It covers Pharynx and esophagus It is otherwise called fibrosa.
