Which membrane binds many fascicles together and covers the entire muscle?
A
Endomysium
B
Epimysium
C
Perimysium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The epimysium is the dense connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle tissue. The epimysium usually contains many bundles (fascicles) of muscle fibers. 2. The perimysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fascia, connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles. Portions of the epimysium project inward to divide the muscle into compartments. Each compartment contains a bundle of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endomysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber (cell). The perimysium encircles a group of muscle fibers, forming a fascicle. The epimysium encircles all the fascicles to form a complete muscle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each fascicle is wrapped in connective tissue: the perimysium. The process is repeated within the fascicle, with each muscle fibre surrounded by an endomysium. Blood vessels and nerve fibres enter the muscle via this connective tissue network.

Detailed explanation-5: -Inside each skeletal muscle, muscle fibers are organized into bundles, called fascicles, surrounded by a middle layer of connective tissue called the perimysium.
