MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fascia also stabilizes your body structures and gives your body strength. It separates your muscles and eases muscle tension. It also helps with joint stability and movement, and it improves your circulation. Fascia provides an environment that enables all of your body systems to work together.

Detailed explanation-3: -In short, the Deep Fascia (or muscle fascia) is defined as; the connective tissue that surrounds (or encloses) individual muscles and muscle groups.

Detailed explanation-4: -The superficial fascia (i.e. tela subcutanea, hypodermis, subcutaneous tissue) is used to describe the connective that separates the skin from the underlying muscle tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -Also known as the epimysium, this is the connective tissue sheath surrounding skeletal muscle and can, in some cases, connect directly to the periosteum of bones. Some major muscle groups enveloped in epimysium include muscles of the trunk, pectoralis major, trapezius, deltoid, and gluteus maximus.
