Question

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

Explanation:

To determine the connective tissue surrounding each fasciculus, we recall the structure of skeletal muscle:

• Endomysium surrounds individual muscle fibers.
• Perimysium surrounds each fasciculus (a bundle of muscle fibers).
• Epimysium surrounds the entire muscle.
• Aponeurosis and tendon are connective tissues for muscle attachment, not for surrounding fasciculi.

So the correct answer is the option corresponding to perimysium.

Answer:

C. perimysium
