Verified step by step guidance

Understand the question: The problem is asking about the connective tissue framework located between the skin and underlying muscles. This requires knowledge of the types of fascia and their anatomical locations.

Review the term 'superficial fascia': This is a layer of connective tissue that lies directly beneath the skin and above the muscles. It often contains fat and serves as a protective layer and a site for blood vessels and nerves.

Review the term 'deep fascia': This is a dense connective tissue layer that surrounds muscles, bones, and other deep structures. It is located deeper than the superficial fascia and provides structural support.

Review the term 'endosteum': This is a thin connective tissue layer lining the inner surface of bones, specifically the medullary cavity. It is unrelated to the skin or muscles.

Review the term 'periosteum': This is a dense connective tissue layer that covers the outer surface of bones. It is also unrelated to the skin or muscles. Based on these definitions, identify the correct answer as 'superficial fascia'.
