A discrete bundle of skeletal muscle cells, known as a fascicle, is a group of muscle fibers encased in a connective tissue sheath called the perimysium. Muscle fibers within a fascicle are long, cylindrical cells that contract to produce movement. Fascicles are organized within a skeletal muscle, which is surrounded by another layer of connective tissue called the epimysium. This organization allows for coordinated contraction and efficient force generation during muscle activity.
What else can I help you with?
What is a group of skeletal muscle fibers?
A skeletal muscle
Is skeletal muscle made of muscle fibers?
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
What is a fascicle and how does it relate to the structure of a skeletal muscle?
A fascicle is a bundle of muscle fibers within a skeletal muscle. These fascicles are surrounded by connective tissue called perimysium. The arrangement of fascicles within a muscle contributes to its overall structure and function, allowing for coordinated movement and strength.
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.

True or false smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscles?
smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscle
The delicate connective tisssue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the?
The delicate connective tissue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the endomysium.
Do Skeletal muscle fibers tend to be shorter than smooth muscle fibers?
False
