These connective tissues consist of tendons, ligaments and fascial sheaths. The fascial sheaths are categorized into three types. The three categories are Endomysium, Perimysium, and Epimysium. Endomysium are the inner sheaths and bind single muscle fibres, perimysium are sheaths which binds numerous muscle fibres, and epimysium are the outer sheaths which bind the entire muscle fibre.
