Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do you call a single bundle of muscle cells?
A
muscle
B
fascicle
C
fiber
D
myofibril
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each bundle of muscle fiber is called a fasciculus and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perimysium. Within the fasciculus, each individual muscle cell, called a muscle fiber, is surrounded by connective tissue called the endomysium .

Detailed explanation-2: -Each skeletal muscle consists of thousands of muscle fibers wrapped together by connective tissue sheaths. The individual bundles of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle are known as fasciculi.

Detailed explanation-3: -A muscle fascicle is a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers surrounded by perimysium, a type of connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscle cells are grouped into muscle fascicles by enveloping perimysium connective tissue. Fascicles are bundled together by epimysium connective tissue. Muscle fascicles typically only contain one type of muscle cell (either type I fibres or type II fibres), but can contain a mixture of both types.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each fascicle (or fasciculus) is a bundle of muscle fibers, also called myocytes, bound together via the endomysium tissue that provides pathways for the passage of blood vessels and nerves.
