Fascicles are wrapped by a coarse fibrous membrane called a ____
A
endomysium
B
perimysium
C
epimysium
D
deep fascia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each bundle of muscle fiber is called a fasciculus and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perimysium. Within the fasciculus, each individual muscle cell, called a muscle fiber, is surrounded by connective tissue called the endomysium .

Detailed explanation-2: -A muscle fascicle is a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers surrounded by perimysium, a type of connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -The perimysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-4: -The muscle fibres are divided up into bundles of fibres called ‘fascicles’. Fibrous sheaths that surround the fascicles are called the perimysium (peri is greek for around). Blood vessels, the lymphatics and the nerves are all found in the perimysium.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each muscle is made up of groups of muscle fibers called fascicles surrounded by a connective tissue layer called perimysium. Multiple units of individual muscle fibers within each fascicle are surrounded by endomysium, a connective tissue sheath.
