epimysium. The epimysium becomes a part of the fascia, a layer of fibrous tissue that separates muscles from each other (deep fascia) and from the skin (superficial fascia). Collagen fibers of the epimysium continue as a strong, fibrous tendon that at-taches the muscle to a bone. The epimysium merges with the periosteum of the bone.
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.
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).
The outermost layer is the epimysium or muscle sheath. Connective tissue septae (perimysium) run radially into the muscle tissue, dividing it into muscle fascicles.
25 Σεπ 2018 · Epimysium is the connective tissue that covers the entire muscle and merges with the tendon. Perimysium is the connective tissue sling that originates from the epimysium and surrounds groups of muscle fibers thereby forming a muscle fascicle/bundle.
Fascicles of myofibers are tightened together by perimysium, while the entire muscle has a capsule known as epimysium. Epimysium does not only protect the organ, but it indirectly participates in force generation during muscle contraction (passive force).
