Fascia
Every structure in your body is covered in a thin membrane
called Fascia. The diagram below is a cross section of a nerve.
As you can see a nerve is comprised of threadlike structures called
axons.
Each axon is wrapped in fascia and then groups of axons
are wrapped together in fascia and so on. It is the same with every
other structure in your body, big or small, it is wrapped in fascia.
Fascia forms a connective covering that encapsulates your whole
body.

If you look at the back of your hand as you wiggle your
fingers, what you are looking at is the outer layer of fascia of
your hand. Below it many layers of fascia are gliding over each
other as your fingers move.
