What is fascia?
What is fascia?
A thin layer of connective tissue that holds everything in place, like organs, blood vessels, bones, nerves, and muscles.
What is a tendon?
What is a tendon?
Tough, cord-like tissue that connects muscles to bones or other structures.
What is an aponeurosis?
What is an aponeurosis?
A thin sheet of connective tissue that connects muscles to bones, similar to a tendon, but spreads out in a sheet instead of a cord.

Study Notes
Connective Tissues
- Fascia is a thin layer of connective tissue that holds organs, blood vessels, bones, nerves, and muscles in place.
- Tendons are tough, cord-like tissues connecting muscles to bones (or other structures).
- Aponeuroses are thin sheets of connective tissue linking muscles to bones; similar to tendons, they can absorb energy from muscles during movement.
- Fascicles are groups of skeletal muscle fibers bundled together, running parallel to each other.
- Myofibrils are rod-like fibers that group together, also running in parallel.
