30 Οκτ 2023 · The epimysium is the outermost connective tissue sheath of skeletal muscle, surrounding the entire muscle (organ). It is a dense irregular connective tissue, predominantly composed of type I collagen fibers. It helps to define the muscle's volume and prevents friction between neighboring muscles.

Epimysium (plural epimysia [1]) (Greek epi-for on, upon, or above + Greek mys for muscle) is the fibrous tissue envelope that surrounds muscle. [2] It is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue which ensheaths the entire muscle and protects muscles from friction against other muscles and bones. [ 3 ]
Skeletal muscles contain connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. There are three layers of connective tissue: epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium. Skeletal muscle fibers are organized into groups called fascicles. Blood vessels and nerves enter the connective tissue and branch in the cell.
Each complete muscle is surrounded by an envelope of collagenic and elastic fibers known as the ‘epimysium’. Arising from the epimysium are numerous bands or sheets of connective tissue which divide the whole muscle into bundles of muscle cells; this is the ‘perimysium’.

Definition. The epimysium is a dense layer of connective tissue that surrounds the entire skeletal muscle, providing structural support and protection. It separates the muscle from surrounding tissues and organs.
The epimysium is a well-defined layer of dense irregular connective tissue, which completely envelopes the muscle belly. It consists primarily of type I collagen fibers, which are tightly arranged to form a relatively strong fibrous covering of the muscle (Standring, 2016).
