Study Notes
Skeletal Muscle Structure
- Individual muscle fibers are surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called endomysium.
- An entire skeletal muscle is enclosed by a thick layer of connective tissue called epimysium.
- Each fascicle of muscle tissue is wrapped by a thin but dense connective tissue layer called perimysium.
Test your knowledge of muscle anatomy and learn about the different layers of connective tissue that surround and bind skeletal muscles. Explore the epimysium, perimysium, and muscle fibers in this quiz.
