MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The outermost connective tissue sheath surrounding the entire muscle is known as epimysium. The connective tissue sheath covering each fasciculus is known as perimysium, and the innermost sheath surrounding individual muscle fiber is known as endomysium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fascia, connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epimysium (plural epimysia) (Greek epi-for on, upon, or above + Greek mys for muscle) is the fibrous tissue envelope that surrounds skeletal muscle. It is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue which ensheaths the entire muscle and protects muscles from friction against other muscles and bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your fascia is a sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds every structure in your body. It provides support to your organs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, tissues, nerves, joints and bones. Fascia is one continuous layer, so it’s flexible and moves with your body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each muscle is composed of bundles (fascicles) of myofibers surrounded by a fibrous connective tissue sheath known as the epimysium or deep fascia.
