The connective tissue itself is called Fascia. It not only surrounds muscles and tendons but also organs, nerves and bones--it basically ties the human body together.
There are three types of fascia which surround muscles. They are named for how 'deep' they are and how much of a muscle they surround. They are:
Endomysium, which surrounds ONE muscle fiber
Perimysium, which surrounds a BUNDLE of muscle fibers
and Epimysium, a sheet of fascia which covers the ENTIRE muscle.
Nerves are also covered with fascia, and the naming scheme for that fascia is similar.

What else can I help you with?
What is the outer covering for small bundles of muscles called?
The outermost layer of connective tissue that surrounds muscle is called the epimysium. It is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle and separates it from surrounding tissues and organs. The epimysium is continuous with the tendons at the end of the muscle and helps to transmit the force generated by the muscle to the bone or other structures to which it is attached.
Is the epimysium a connective tissue sheath that surrounds a muscle true or false?
True. The epimysium is a connective tissue sheath that surrounds an entire muscle, providing structural support and protection. It helps bind muscle fibers together and is continuous with the tendons that attach muscles to bones.
What is the fasciculi that surrounds connective tissue called?
Numerous fascicles together make up the muscle belly, which is wrapped in a tough, membranous coating known as the epimysium. The endomysium, perimysium, and epimysium together are known as the fascia of the muscle.
Which refers to the dense connective tissue that surrounds a muscle and blends wit the tendon?
The dense connective tissue that surrounds a muscle and blends with the tendon is known as the epimysium. This protective layer encases the entire muscle, providing structural support and facilitating the muscle's attachment to tendons, which connect muscles to bones. The epimysium is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the muscle during contraction and movement.
What is the innermost layer of the deep facia that surrounds the entire muscle?
The innermost layer of deep fascia that surrounds the entire muscle is called the epimysium. It is a connective tissue layer that encases individual muscles, providing support and protection while allowing for movement. The epimysium also helps to separate muscles from one another and plays a role in the transmission of force generated by muscle contractions.
What is the structure that covers an entire skeletal muscle and separates muscles from each other?
The epimysium.
How many levels of connective tissue wrappings make up your muscles?
Three: epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium
Which Band of connective tissue that surrounds muscles?
perimysium
Connective tissue separates the muscles into bundles called fascicles?
Perimysium
Which structure is the sheet of fibrous connective tissue that separates muscles?
Fascia
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 name and location of three connective tissue layers of muscles?
There are only 3.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.A tendon is a cordlike extension of the preceding three linings. It extends beyond the muscle tissue to connect the muscle to a bone or to other muscles.There are only 3.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.A tendon is a cordlike extension of the preceding three linings.
