MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium. Fascia, connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles. Portions of the epimysium project inward to divide the muscle into compartments. Each compartment contains a bundle of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fascia (or “deep fascia") is a layer of thickened connective tissue that covers the entire muscle and is located over the layer of epimysium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The epimysium is the dense connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle tissue. The epimysium usually contains many bundles (fascicles) of muscle fibers. 2. The perimysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each muscle is composed of bundles (fascicles) of myofibers surrounded by a fibrous connective tissue sheath known as the epimysium or deep fascia.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each muscle fiber is surrounded by a thin layer of connective tissue called the endomysium.
