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

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: -The outer sheath of connective tissue surrounding a skeletal muscle is known as epimysium. It protects muscles from friction against the other muscles and bones.
