A skeletal muscle consists of numerous muscle cells called muscle fibers. Three layers of connective tissues surround these fibers to form a muscle. These and other connective tissues associated with muscles follow:
The The The A An
is the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber (cell). encircles a group of muscle fibers, forming a fascicle. encircles all the fascicles to form a complete muscle. is a cordlike extension of the preceding three linings. It extends beyond the muscle tissue to connect the muscle to a bone or to other muscles. is a flat broad extension of the three muscle linings and serves the same function as a tendon.
An
is a flat broad extension of the three muscle linings and serves the same function as a tendon. is a term for a layer or sheet of connective tissue.
The The
surrounds the epimysium and encloses or lines other nearby structures such as blood vessels, nerves, and the body wall. (hypodermis or subcutaneous layer) lies immediately below the skin. The superficial fascia merges with the deep fascia where the
