Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the connective tissue covering of a muscle fascicle?
A
endomysium
B
perimysium
C
Either A or B
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: -Each bundle of muscle fiber is called a fasciculus and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perimysium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscles are grouped into fascicles, which are bunches of muscle fibers surrounded by a perimysium.

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. 2. The perimysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Endomysium is connective tissue that wraps each individual muscle fibre. Perimysium is connective tissue that wraps bundles of muscle fibres-the “bundles” being known as fasicles.
