What connective tissue joins groups of muscle?
A
aponeurosis
B
fascia
C
epimysium
D
tendons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aponeuroses and tendons are both made of dense, fibrous connective tissue, but they look very different. An aponeurosis is a delicate, thin sheet of tissue that contains collagen-releasing cells called fibroblasts. It contains bundles of collagen fibers organized in a parallel pattern, which keeps it strong.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tough, fibrous, cord-like tissue that connects muscle to bone or another structure, such as an eyeball. Tendons help the bone or structure to move.

Detailed explanation-3: -An aponeurosis is a type of connective tissue found throughout the body. Aponeuroses provide an attachment point for muscles to connect to bone, and can also envelope muscles and organs, bind muscles together, and bind muscles to other tissues. They are important for muscle movement and posture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pennate muscles and aponeuroses Muscle fibers connect one to the other, and each aponeurosis thins into a tendon which attaches to bone at the origin or insertion site.
