‘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.”

“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”

“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

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 t

Bone is the hardest form of connective tissue. Cartilage is the form of connective tissue that serves a protective function, padding areas where use is great to prevent damage to bone. There are three types of cartilage:

adipose tissue.

While the body honours the basic organisation of our species, the shape (or morphology) of the connective tissue is invariably expressed uniquely by each one of us. That is because it responds to use, to nutrition, to hydration, to gesture and to us, as individuals. It depends on who and how we are and how we use it, all the time.

The fascial system consists of the three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen containing, loose and dense fibrous connective tissues that permeate the body … The fascial system surrounds, interweaves between, and interpenetrates all organs, muscles, bones, and nerve fibers, endowing the body with a functional structure, and providing an environm
