Which of the following are sites of muscle attachments? (select all that apply)
A
bones
B
cartilage
C
connective tissue coverings
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Answer and Explanation: The bone marking which is a site for muscle attachment is D. Epicondyle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Intersegmental tendon cells, where a large fraction of muscles is attached, are distributed in three groups, dorsal, lateral and ventral (Bate, 1990; Volk and VijayRaghavan, 1994; Schweitzer et al., 2010; Armand et al., 1994).

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
