Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which membrane binds many fascicles together and covers the entire muscle?
A
Endomysium
B
Epimysium
C
Perimysium
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Septae of connective tissue radiate from the epimysium into the muscle dividing it into bundles of muscle fibres known as the fascicles. Each fascicle is wrapped in connective tissue: the perimysium.

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

Detailed explanation-3: -The outermost sheath of connective tissue covering each muscle is called epimysium. Each muscle is made up of groups of muscle fibers called fascicles surrounded by a connective tissue layer called perimysium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Perimysium is a continuous layer of collagenous connective tissue that separates the skeletal muscle tissue into muscle fascicles (i.e., bundles of muscle cells).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
