Connective tissue is the support system for the entire body. Just beneath the skin layer you will find a thin white film covering the muscle. This film is connective tissue (otherwise known as fascia). If you were to do a cross section of a muscle you would be able to see each tiny muscle fiber. Each muscle fiber has its own connective tissue sheath surrounding it as well. These sheaths are lubricated and allow the muscle fibers as well as the muscle groups to slide across one another enabling full range of motion. In addition to its key role in supporting muscle stability and functionality, connective tissue also encases and suspends the entire organ and skeletal systems. This is the largest and most complex system in the entire body. As mentioned, it begins just beneath the layer of the skin and like a three dimensional web, spreads through the entire body to it’s core.
