Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscle is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue, which is called the fascia, or epimysium, of the muscle; it consists mainly of collagen fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The epimysium is a thick connective tissue layer that is composed of coarse collagen fibers in a proteoglycan matrix. The epimysium surrounds the entire muscle and defines its volume. The arrangement of collagen fibers in the epimysium varies between muscles of different shapes and functions.

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
