The combining form "fasci/o" means "fibrous muscle cover, fascia." The fascia is the soft connective tissue that surrounds and supports the muscles. thanks to northstarlearning.com for the CMA review
Fibrous connective tissue is known as matrix. Matrix helps to connect joints and enables movement of the joints. If this becomes damaged, the joint or limb may become unusable.
Connective tissue
The deeper part of the dermis of the skin. Basically, this part of the dermis has dense or fibrous irregular conective tissue, which provides strength to the skin. Below this tissue there is loose connective tissue (areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue) that are part of the subcutaneous layer of the skin. As you know, the dermis is part of the cutaneous membrane.
Inflammation of the fibrous connective tissue in a joint commonly called rheumatism is also known as "arthritis" . Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the many diseases that are connected with this problem.
The strong fibrous tissue outer periphery of the intervertebral disk is called the annulus fibrosus.

symphisis
endomysium
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.
connective tissue
Collagen is the fibrous substance that give areolar tissue its strength.
A fibrous joint is a structural classification where bones are joined by fibrous connective tissue. Examples of fibrous joints include sutures in the skull and syndesmoses in the distal tibiofibular joint.

Ligaments are the fibrous connective tissue that holds bones in a joint together.
Abnormal formation of fibrous tissue in muscles, known as fibrosis, can result from various factors, including chronic inflammation, injury, or repetitive strain that triggers an excessive healing response. Conditions such as muscular dystrophy or autoimmune diseases can also lead to fibrosis by disrupting normal muscle repair processes. Additionally, prolonged immobilization or disuse of muscles can contribute to the accumulation of fibrous tissue. These factors collectively result in the replacement of healthy muscle tissue with fibrous connective tissue, impairing muscle function.
