Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fascicles are bound together into bigger muscle groups by a thicker connective tissue layer called the ____
A
epimysium
B
perimysium
C
endomysium
D
deep fascia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The outermost sheath of connective tissue covering each muscle is called epimysium. Each muscle is made up of groups of muscle fibers called fascicles surrounded by a connective tissue layer called perimysium.

Detailed explanation-2: -The epimysium is a thick connective tissue layer that is composed of coarse collagen fibers in a proteoglycan matrix. The epimysium surrounds the entire muscle and defines its volume. The arrangement of collagen fibers in the epimysium varies between muscles of different shapes and functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. The epimysium is the dense connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle tissue. The epimysium usually contains many bundles (fascicles) of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscle fibres are grouped together in muscle bundles or fascicles and are surrounded by perimysium, or fibro-adipose septa, which contains vessels and nerves. A thicker connective tissue sheath, the epimysium, surrounds the whole muscle. Muscles lie deep to the deep fascia.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each bundle of muscle fiber is called a fasciculus and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perimysium.
