Most of the fibrous connective tissues (FCT) are fascial. These may occur as sheets or masses. NOT included in this definition are the tendons, ligaments, or aponeuroses (wide flat tendons). The different fasciae have varying proportions of white fibers, yellow fibers, fat, and tissue fluid. Some serve as membranes to inclose the body and its parts. Fasciae also help to support some organs and allow motions between other organs to be easier. |
