The Muscular System
An individual skeletal muscle is separated from adjacent muscles and held in position by layers of dense connective tissue called fascia This connective tissue surrounds each muscle and may project beyond the ends of its muscle fibers to form a cordlike tendon. Fibers in a tendon may intertwine with those in the periosteum of a bone Connective tissues associated with a muscle form broad, fibrous sheets called aponeuroses, which may attach to bone or the coverings of adjacent muscles
