Question

select the correct answer.
which connective tissue surrounds each fasciculus?
a. endomysium
b. epimysium
c. perimysium
d. aponeurosis
e. tendon

Explanation:

• Endomysium: Surrounds individual muscle fibers, not fasciculi.
• Epimysium: Covers the entire muscle, not individual fasciculi.
• Perimysium: By definition, surrounds each fasciculus (bundle of muscle fibers).
• Aponeurosis: A sheet - like tendon, not related to surrounding fasciculi.
• Tendon: Connects muscle to bone, not involved in surrounding fasciculi.

Answer:

C. perimysium
