The irregular fibrous (dense) connective tissue is covering most of the organs of our body: Fasciae (muscle, tendons, and below the skin), periosteum (bone), deep layer of dermis (our entire body), pericardium (heart and its valves), perichondrium (cartilage), joint capsules (joints), membrane capsules of liver, kidney, and lymph nodes, tunica albuginea (testicle), etcetera.

Name the connective tissue coverings surrounding the following?

Connective tissue coverings surrounding muscles include the epimysium (surrounding the entire muscle), perimysium (surrounding bundles of muscle fibers or fascicles), and endomysium (surrounding individual muscle fibers). For nerves, the coverings are the epineurium (surrounding the entire nerve), perineurium (surrounding bundles of nerve fibers), and endoneurium (surrounding individual nerve fibers). In bones, the periosteum covers the outer surface, while the endosteum lines the inner surfaces.
