Primarily how does the perimysium and epimysium differ from the endomysium?

The perimysium is the connective tissue that surrounds a fascicle (bundle of muscle fibers), while the epimysium surrounds the entire muscle. The endomysium is a connective tissue sheath that surrounds individual muscle fibers within a fascicle.

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 would surround a bundle of muscle fibers?

EndomysiumendomysiumCovering individual muscle fibers is a thin connective tissue sheath called the endomysium.


What is the connective tissue layer that holds fascicles together?

The connective tissue layer that holds fascicles together is called the perimysium. It surrounds and protects each bundle of muscle fibers (fascicles) within a muscle.


What is the connective tissue that connects muscle to muscle called?

What connective tissue divides a muscle into fascicles?

Perimysium is the connective tissue that divides the muscle into fascicles.


Which of these is not a type of connective tissue?

Muscle tissue is not a type of connective tissue. Connective tissue includes types such as adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.


Is endomysium a dense connective tissue that surrounds muscle fascicles?

No, endomysium is not a dense connective tissue; it is a thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers (muscle cells) within a muscle fascicle. The endomysium is composed of areolar connective tissue, which provides support and nourishment to the muscle fibers. In contrast, perimysium is the connective tissue that surrounds muscle fascicles.


What connects muscle to muscle and connective tissue to muscle?

Muscle does not connect to muscle. Fascia is a connective tissue that connects muscle to organs. Tendons connect muscle to bone.
