Question

which of the following is the connective tissue wrapping that surrounds the entire nerve?

Explanation:

• Cranial Nerve Ganglion: It is a cluster of neuron cell bodies, not a connective - tissue wrapping.
• Endoneurium: Surrounds individual nerve fibers (axons), not the entire nerve.
• Epineurium: The outermost connective - tissue layer that surrounds the entire nerve.
• Perineurium: Surrounds nerve fascicles (bundles of nerve fibers), not the whole nerve.

C. Epineurium
