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.
