This envelope consists of fatty tissue, loose connective tissue, and blood and lymph vessels.

“a sheath, a sheet, or any other dissectible aggregations of connective tissue that forms beneath the skin to attach, enclose, and separate muscles and other internal organs”

Fascia is another form of connective tissue. The superficial type is just under the skin. The deep fascia holds each muscle and can hold muscle groups as well. It is thin, white, and has a strong cobweb-like look. It also can serve as an anchor for the passage of nerves and blood vessels. After injury, the fascia can become adhered to surrounding

“Connective tissue: the forgotten player? … Skeletal muscle is invested and anchored to a number of specialised connective tissue layers organised as the endo-, peri- and epi-mysium [see Ch. 3]. These layers not only act as a conduit for blood vessels and nerves but because they become continuous with the connective tissues of the tendons and other

‘soft tissue component of the connective tissue system that permeates the human body’. One could also describe these as fibrous collagenous tissues which are part of a bodywide tensional force transmission system.”

Every single muscle fibril, group of fibrils forming fibres, group of fibres forming bundles, group of fibre bundles forming the muscle belly and continuously extending beyond the muscle belly to form the tendinous part of the muscle is fascia. Fascia is what holds a group of muscles together, what attaches them through cross-links, as a group or

Furthermore, the muscles are not connected to the bones other than via this fascial interface. It contains them, integrates and interconnects them all, as well as distinguishing them from each other.
