The epineurium is the last membrane in a nerve, and surrounds all the fascicles
The perineurium connective tissue covers and encapsulates bundles of nerve fibers called fascicles within a nerve. It is located between the endoneurium (which surrounds individual nerve fibers) and the epineurium (which surrounds the entire nerve).
Epineurium
The epineurium is the outermost layer of connective tissue surrounding a nerve. In the case of the fibrous sheath, the epineurium refers to the thick layer of dense connective tissue that surrounds and protects the entire nerve bundle, providing structural support and protection.
The outermost covering surrounding a spinal nerve is called the epineurium. It consists of a dense layer of connective tissue that provides protection and structural support to the nerve, as well as serving to anchor it to surrounding tissues. The epineurium encases multiple nerve fascicles, which are bundles of nerve fibers, ensuring the overall integrity of the nerve as it traverses through the body.
Endoneurium - first Perineurium - second Epineurium - third
The epineurium tissue is located on the outermost layer of a peripheral nerve. It surrounds and protects the entire nerve bundle by providing structural support and acting as a barrier to external substances.
The epineurium is the outermost layer of connective tissue surrounding a peripheral nerve. It includes the blood vessels supplying the nerve.
Within a nerve, each fiber is surrounded by a delicate connective tissue sheath called an endoneurium, which insulates it from the other neuron processes adjacent to it. The endoneurium is often mistaken for the myelin sheath; it is instead an additional sheath that surrounds the myelin sheath.

Perimysium
The irregular fibrous (dense) connective tissue is covering most of the organs of our body: Fasciae (muscle, tendons, and below the skin), periosteum (bone), deep layer of dermis (our entire body), pericardium (heart and its valves), perichondrium (cartilage), joint capsules (joints), membrane capsules of liver, kidney, and lymph nodes, tunica albuginea (testicle), etcetera.
Axons are covered by connective tissue called endoneurium. Multiple axons are bundled together within fascicles, which are surrounded by perineurium. Finally, the entire nerve is enveloped by epineurium.
