Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which connective tissue surrounds the fascicle?
A
epimysium
B
perimysium
C
sarcolemma
D
endomysium
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: -Perimysium is a continuous layer of collagenous connective tissue that separates the skeletal muscle tissue into muscle fascicles (i.e., bundles of muscle cells).

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle connective tissue is found at three levels of scale: the epimysium, which surrounds the muscle; the perimysium, which surrounds bundles of muscle fibers; and the endomysium, which surrounds muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each fascicle is surrounded by another layer of connective tissue termed the endomysium. Skeletal muscle tissue is composed of numerous muscle fibers which are separated from adjacent muscles and other tissues by a layer of dense, elastic connective tissue termed the fascia.

Detailed explanation-5: -A muscle fascicle is a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers surrounded by perimysium, a type of connective tissue.
