Which of the following accurately defines extension?
Connective tissue sheath surrounding each fascicle
The layer of connective tissue that surrounds a fascicle within a peripheral nerve is the?
endoneurium
State the location of the perineurium?
The coarse connective tissue that covers each fascicle (bundle of fibers)
What is the layer that is around each fascicle?
Fascia is up of sheets or bands of connective tissue fibres.
The connective tissue surrounding the bone is called?
periosteum
What is the General organization of a muscle belly?
The muscle belly is the main bulk of the muscle, made up of many layers of tissue surrounded by fascia (sheets of connective tissue running throughout your body). The structure of a muscle, from macro (large) to micro (small) is: 1. muscle belly - a bundle of fascicles 2. fascicle - a bundle of fibers 3. fiber - a muscle cell (bundle of myofibrils) 4. myofibril - a bundle of myofilaments 5. filament - actin & myosin proteins The fascia in the muscle, called deep fascia (as opposed to superficial fascia which lies just beneath the skin) has 3 layers: 1. epimysium - an overcoat of dense connective tissue surrounding the entire muscle 2. perimysium - fibrous connective tissue that surrounds each fascicle (bundle of muscle fibers) 3. endomysium - sheath of connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber
What is a tough layer of connective tissue surrounding a bone?
periosteum
Is perimysium a muscle cell?
No, perimysium is not a muscle cell. Perimysium is a connective tissue layer that surrounds and separates groups of muscle fibers in a muscle. It helps to provide structural support and organization to the muscle.
Name these connective tissue coverings beginning with the finest and ending with the most coarse?
From finest to most coarse the connective tissues start with endomysium which are then covered by perimysium to form a bundle of fibers called a fascicle. Many fascicles are bounded by the connective tissue epimusium which can either be bound to form tendons or aponeursoses (and these attach the muscle indirectly to bones, cartilages, or connective tissue coverings.)
What is the connective tissue layer surrounding a bundle of muscle fibers known as?
perimyseum
What is the connective tissue coverings surrounding the muscle cell called?
epimysium
Which connective tissue layer surrounds the entire muscle and merges with the connective tissue of tendons and aponeuroses?
The endomysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber (cell). The perimysium encircles a group of muscle fibers, forming a fascicle. The epimysium encircles all the fascicles to form a complete muscle.
