Question

figure 10.1

use the diagram above to answer the following questions.

identify the letter that indicates the epimysium.

Explanation:

Identify the structures labeled in the muscle diagram

The diagram shows the anatomical structure of a skeletal muscle and its connective tissue coverings:

• A points to the tendon, which anchors the muscle to the bone.
• B points to the epimysium, the outermost overcoat of dense irregular connective tissue surrounding the entire muscle.
• C points to the perimysium, which wraps a bundle of muscle fibers called a fascicle.
• D points to a muscle fascicle.
• E points to the endomysium, which surrounds individual muscle fibers.

Determine the letter for the epimysium

The question asks to identify the letter that indicates the epimysium. Based on the anatomical identification, the epimysium is represented by letter B.

Answer:

B
