Anatomy II

Question 1

What is the endomysium and where is it located?

Answer 1

It’s a fine layer of areolar CT that surrounds each muscle fiber (cell). It’s located between the individual muscle fibers that are covered by the perimysium (outer layer covering fascicles)

Question 2

What is the perimysium and where is it located?

Answer 2

It’s a dense irregular CT sheet that wraps around the fascicles (which are a group of muscle fibers)

Question 3

What is epimysium and where is it located?

Answer 3

It’s dense, irregular CT that surrounds the entire muscle (including the fascicles, perimysium, endomysium, and muscle fiber)
