An aponeurosis is a broad, dense sheet of fibrous tissue that either joins muscles to one another or connects them to bone.A thin but strong fibrous sheet of tissue that replaces a tendon in muscles that are flat and sheet-like and have a wide area of attachment (e.g. to bones).The white fibrous membrane which serves as an investment for the muscles and which covers the skull beneath the scalp.A flat fibrous sheet of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone or other tissues; may sometimes serve as a fascia.A broad expanse of resilient and fibrous tissue, functioning akin to a tendon, connects a muscle to either a bone or a joint.A fibrous membrane that either envelops a muscle or provides an attachment point for a muscle."}
