Why do muscle fibers need to be wrapped and bundled into groups?

So that nerves can send a signal to the bundle instead of each individual fiber.

What is the fascia you will see going from superficial to deep within the muscle?
Going from superficial to deep in the muscle:Each skeletal muscle is covered by a fourth, very tough fibrous layer of CT called deep fascia.The deep fascia may extend past the length of the muscle (tendon or aponeurosis), and attach that muscle to a bone, cartilage or muscle. Each skeletal muscle is covered by a third layer of dense, fibrous CT called epimysium.Many fascicles are bundled together to form a skeletal muscle.Many muscle fibers are bundled together into groups called fascicles. Each fascicle is wrapped in a second layer of CT made of collagen called perimysium.Each muscle fiber (cell) is wrapped in a thin layer called endomysium.
Which layer is the myosin located in the human body?
Myosin is a protein and structural element of muscle cells.Going from superficial to deep in the muscle:Each skeletal muscle is covered by a fourth, very tough fibrous layer of CT called deep fascia.The deep fascia may extend past the length of the muscle (tendon or aponeurosis), and attach that muscle to a bone, cartilage or muscle.Each skeletal muscle is covered by a third layer of dense, fibrous CT called epimysium.Many fascicles are bundled together to form a skeletal muscle.Many muscle fibers are bundled together into groups called fascicles. Each fascicle is wrapped in a second layer of CT made of collagen called perimysium.The last layer: Each muscle fiber (cell) is wrapped in a thin layer called endomysium. This the layer that myosin is found in.
What is the connective tissue layer called that is around the muscle fibers?
Muscle fiber is another name for muscle cell. And each one is wrapped in connective tissue that is called endomysium.
Why are muscle cells commonly called muscle fibers?
Muscles form little groups similar to thick string.
What do you find between the muscle fibers and tissues?
Between muscle fibers you will find fascia, which is a connective tissue that is very strong. Pound-for-pound it is stronger than steel. It is wrapped around each muscle fiber and called endomysium. When groups of muscle fibers are wrapped together, the fascia around the bundle, now called a fascicle, is called perimysium. When you group many fascicles together and wrap them in another layer of fascia, you have a muscle. The name of this outer layer of fascia connective tissue is epimysium. And when you wrap a functional group of muscle in a layer of fascia, it is referred to as deep fascia. Then between muscles and other tissues like the skin is a layer known as superficial fascia, also called the hypodermis.
What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.

Do all cardiac muscle fibers all contract at the same time?
No. The heart muscle contracts in sections, first the top (atrium) then the bottom (ventricle). But when it is working properly, the heart muscle fibers contract together in large groups.
How are muscle fibers and membranes organized to form a whole skeletal muscle?
A muscle is made of tiny fibers. First it starts with one fiber that is surrounded by a layer of endomysium (connective tissue). Next a few more single strands of fibers are added to this one and wrapped around that is a layer of perimysium. this group of fibers is called a fasicle. then a bunch more fasicles get added to this one and is surrounded by a layer of epimysium. this creates the entire skeletal muscle.
The muscles of the body are collectively called what?
A fascicle is a group of muscle fibers bundled together and working as a unit. They are enveloped by a structure called the perimysium.
What is perimysium?
Perimysium is the connective tissue that binds muscle fibers into groups. The muscles will be grouped in bundles of 10 to 100.
