fascicle

Detailed explanation-1: -The outermost connective tissue sheath surrounding the entire muscle is known as epimysium. The connective tissue sheath covering each fasciculus is known as perimysium, and the innermost sheath surrounding individual muscle fiber is known as endomysium.
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: -Endomysium. The sarcolemma of a muscle is a sheath that covers the skeletal muscle fiber, similar to a plasma membrane for the muscle cell. Surrounding this sheath is a layer of connective tissue covering, called the endomysium.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are three layers of connective tissue: epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium.
Detailed explanation-5: -Your fascia is a sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds every structure in your body. It provides support to your organs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, tissues, nerves, joints and bones. Fascia is one continuous layer, so it’s flexible and moves with your body.
