The tough translucent sheath that surrounds skeletal muscle and binds it together is called the epimysium. This connective tissue layer encases the entire muscle, providing protection and structural support. It also helps in the transmission of force generated by the muscle fibers to the tendons and bones. The epimysium is continuous with other connective tissue layers, such as perimysium and endomysium, which further organize and support the muscle fibers within.

What binds skeletal muscle and the tough translucent sheath?

Skeletal muscle is connected to the tough translucent sheath called the epimysium, which surrounds the entire muscle, through connective tissue. This connective tissue helps transmit the force generated by the muscle to the surrounding tissues and provides structural support.

What is the function of the layer of connective tissue that surrounds a skeletal muscle?

The layer of connective tissue that surrounds a skeletal muscle is called the epimysium. Its function is to provide support and protection to the muscle fibers, as well as to help transmit force generated by the muscle during contraction.


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.


Can skeletal muscle be tetanised?

Yes, because of the short refractory period of skeletal muscle (compared to cardiac muscle), skeletal muscle can be restimulated before the muscle is completely relaxed. If repeated enough times, the contractions fuse together i.e. they become tetanised.
