fasciae
Connective tissue layers
Fasciae is the plural of fascia.
In anatomy, fasciae are sheets of connective tissue that wrap muscles, organs, and other structures, holding them in place while allowing movement.
In architecture, fasciae are the flat horizontal bands on a building's exterior, particularly the boards running along a roofline.
The word appears in technical contexts where multiple such bands or layers are being described: The surgeon carefully separated the fasciae surrounding the muscle groups.
