GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Each fascicle (or fasciculus) is a bundle of muscle fibers, also called myocytes, bound together via the endomysium tissue that provides pathways for the passage of blood vessels and nerves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inside each skeletal muscle, muscle fibers are organized into bundles, called fascicles, surrounded by a middle layer of connective tissue called the perimysium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The number of fascicles in a muscle ranged from 61 to 101 fascicles per whole muscle. During dissection it was observed that the fascicles did not always run from distal to proximal tendon, that some fascicles were in series, and that they were not the same length as the whole muscle.
