What is a dense network of collagen fibers?
A
Epineurium
B
Conus medularis
C
Pia mater
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Epineurium is the outer most layer of dense connective tissue that encloses the entire peripheral nerve. Within the epineurium, there are several nerve fascicles which are individually enclosed by the perineum. These fascicles are made up of myelinated individual nerve fibers that are surrounded by endoneurium.[4]

Detailed explanation-2: -Epineurium is the outermost sheath of peripheral nerves. Epineurium is permeable and consists of moderately dense connective tissue that binds nerve fascicles.

Detailed explanation-3: -The epineurium is the outermost layer of connective tissue, which is a supporting and protective part including the main supply channels of the neural vascular system (Seddon, 1972) (Figure 3.1).

Detailed explanation-4: -Epineurium is a condensation of loose (areolar) connective tissue derived from mesoderm. As a general rule, the more fasciculi present in a peripheral nerve, the thicker the epineurium.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dense connective tissue supports, protects, and holds bones, muscles, and other tissues and organs in place. Ligaments, tendons, the inner layer of the skin, and the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye) are all types of dense connective tissue. Also called fibrous connective tissue.
