GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The individual bundles of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle are known as fasciculi. The outermost connective tissue sheath surrounding the entire muscle is known as epimysium.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

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: -The whole muscle is enclosed by a dense connective tissue sheath called the epimysium. (Epi-greek for upon, mys-greek for muscle). The muscle fibres are divided up into bundles of fibres called ‘fascicles’. Fibrous sheaths that surround the fascicles are called the perimysium (peri is greek for around).
