Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. Here are several forms of connective membranes:

SUPERFICIAL FASCIA: 
Location: between the skin and muscles
Purpose: adipose tissue stores fat.

PERIOSTEUM: 
Location: covers each bone
Purpose: contains blood vessels that enter the bone.

PERICHONDRIUM: 
Location: covers cartilage
Purpose: contains capillaries and is the only blood supply for cartilage.

SYNOVIAL: 
Location: lines joint cavities
Purpose: secretes synovial fluid to prevent friction.

DEEP FASCIA: 
Location: covers each skeletal muscle
Purpose: anchors tendons.

MENINGES:

Purpose: contains cerebrospinal fluid.

FIBROUS PERICARDIUM:
