MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fascia, connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Perimysium is a sheath of connective tissue that groups muscle fibers into bundles or fascicles. The perimysium plays a role in transmitting lateral contractile movements. Epimysium is a layer of connective tissue, which ensheaths the entire muscle and protects muscles from friction against other muscles and bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -The epimysium is the dense connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle tissue. The epimysium usually contains many bundles (fascicles) of muscle fibers. The perimysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-5: -The whole muscle is enclosed by a dense connective tissue sheath called the epimysium. (Epi-greek for upon, mys-greek for muscle). The muscle fibres are divided up into bundles of fibres called ‘fascicles’. Fibrous sheaths that surround the fascicles are called the perimysium (peri is greek for around).
