Question

what is the name of the bundle of muscle fibers?

list the terms that describe the 3 connective tissue coverage around a muscle cell, bundle of muscle cells and whole muscle.

Answer 1

Bundle of muscle fibers is called as “Fascicles”

(Each skeletal muscle is made up of muscle fibers, which are arranged into muscle fibers, called as fascicles).

1. connective tissue coverage around a muscle cell: ENDOMYSIUM (Each muscle cell or fiber is surrounded by a muscle tissue called Endomysium)

Each skeletal muscle has 3 layers of connective tissue called “Mysia”.

2. bundle of muscle cells: PERIMYSIUM (Each muscle fibers are arranged into bundles called fascicles, covered by a connective tissue called as Perimysium)
3. Whole muscle: EPIMYSIUM (Each muscle is wrapped into a sheath of dense, irregular connective tissue called epimysium).
