Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Of the four different connective tissue coverings, which surrounds each fascicle?
A
Epimysium
B
Perimysium
C
Deep fascia
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: -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-3: -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-4: -Epimysium: The outermost layer of tissue surrounding the entire muscle. Perimysium: The middle layer surrounding bundles of muscle fibers. Endomysium: The innermost layer surrounding individual muscle fibers. 01-Sept-2021
