Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which membrane covers several fibers to form a fascicle?
A
Endomysium
B
Epimysium
C
Perimysium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Multiple units of individual muscle fibers within each fascicle are surrounded by endomysium, a connective tissue sheath.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Muscle Fascia Muscle Structure: Skeletal muscle is surrounded by a thick outer layer of connective tissue termed the fascia. Within this is a layer termed the epimysium which splits inwards into the muscle as the perimysium dividing muscle fibers into groups termed fascicle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscles. Skeletal muscle is composed of elongated muscle fibres that are covered by thin connective tissue, the endomysium. Muscle fibres are grouped together in muscle bundles or fascicles and are surrounded by perimysium, or fibro-adipose septa, which contains vessels and nerves.

Detailed explanation-5: -Perimysium is the connective tissue surrounding muscle bundles, and endomysium is the connective tissue surrounding muscle fibres. Both types of connective tissue provide structural support to muscles.
