QuestionAnswer
It is a sheet or broad band of fibrous connective tissue that supports and surrounds muscle and other organs of the body.Fascia
It separates the muscle from the skinSuperficial Fascia (Subcutaneous Fats)
It contains adipose tissue that insulates the bodySuperficial Fascia (Subcutaneous Fats)
It lines the body walls and the limbsDeep Fascia
It holds muscle with similar function togetherDeep Fascia
It allows free movement of muscles, carries nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels.Deep Fascia
Fills the space between musclesFascia
Three layers of connective tissue that extend from the deep fascia:Epimysium Perimysium Endomysium
A dense layer of collagen fibers that surrounds the entire muscleEpimysium
It separates the muscle from surrounding tissues and organsEpimysium
Surrounds group of 10 to 100 or more individual bundles of muscle fibers called a fasciclePerimysium
Surrounds the individual skeletal muscle fibers (fascicle) and interconnects adjacent muscle fibersEndomysium
Scattered between the endomysium and the muscle fibers are satellite cells, embryonic stem cells that function in the repair of damaged muscle tissueEndomysium
Narrow bands of connective tissue that connect muscles to boneTendons
Bands of connective tissue that join bone to boneLigaments
Bands of connective tissue that attach flat muscle to another muscle or to several bonesAponeuroses
The attachment of the muscle tendons or aponeuroses to the stationary bone, which is usually proximalOrigin
It is the attachment of the other muscle tendons or aponeuroses to the movable bone which is usually distalInsertion
