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.
