Which membrane binds many fascicles together and covers the entire muscle?
|
|
Endomysium
|
|
|
Epimysium
|
|
|
Perimysium
|
|
|
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: -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-3: -Each fascicle is wrapped in connective tissue: the perimysium. The process is repeated within the fascicle, with each muscle fibre surrounded by an endomysium. Blood vessels and nerve fibres enter the muscle via this connective tissue network.
