The tough tissue the connects muscles to bones is called a ligament. This tissue also connects bones to bones and is called a tendon.
The layer you are referring to is the subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis or superficial fascia. This layer contains adipose tissue (fat cells) and loose connective tissue that connects the skin to the underlying muscles and bones, providing insulation and cushioning for the body.
Yes, connective tissue can encase structures within the body. For example, it surrounds organs, muscles, and bones, providing support and protection. Connective tissues like fascia, cartilage, and adipose tissue play crucial roles in maintaining the integrity and function of these structures.
This tissue is a tendon. Tendons always connect muscles to bone. Ligaments connect bone to bone. The odd thing, perhaps, is that these are the same tissue. This an example of tissues being labeled according to anatomy.
The dense connective tissue that surrounds a muscle and blends with the tendon is known as the epimysium. This protective layer encases the entire muscle, providing structural support and facilitating the muscle's attachment to tendons, which connect muscles to bones. The epimysium is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the muscle during contraction and movement.

A tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones
tendon (fibrous tissue) connects muscles to bones
Bones are connected to muscles by tendons, tough bundles of fibrous connective tissue.
The fascia
It connects your entire body through muscles and tissue.

Connective tissue connects tissues to tissue. A good example is muscle (a tissue) connecting to bone (a tissue). The tissue that does THIS is called a tendon. A tendon connects muscles to bones.
The specific fibrous connective tissue that connects skin to muscle is called the fascia. This tissue consists of dense irregular connective tissue that provides structural support and stability while allowing for flexibility and movement. It serves as a conduit for nerves and blood vessels, helping to anchor the skin to underlying muscles and facilitating communication between different body structures.
