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

Detailed explanation-3: -The basic histologic component of all skeletal muscles is the skeletal muscle cells, also known as muscle fibers or myofibers. Myofibers are grouped into larger units called muscle fascicles, which are enveloped together by connective tissue (called epimysium) into anatomically recognized muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a group of muscle fibers is “bundled” as a unit within the whole muscle it is called a fascicle. Fascicles are covered by a layer of connective tissue called perimysium (see Figure 10.2. 1). Fascicle arrangement is correlated to the force generated by a muscle and affects the muscle’s range of motion.
