Skeletal muscle fibers are organized into groups called fascicles. Blood vessels and nerves enter the connective tissue and branch in the cell. Muscles attach to bones directly or through tendons or aponeuroses. Skeletal muscles maintain posture, stabilize bones and joints, control internal movement, and generate heat.

The whole muscle is enclosed by a dense connective tissue sheath called the epimysium. (Epi - greek for upon, mys - greek for muscle). The muscle fibres are divided up into bundles of fibres called 'fascicles'. Fibrous sheaths that surround the fascicles are called the perimysium (peri is greek for around). Blood vessels, the lymphatics and the ...
Sep 26, 2024 · Figure 8.3.1 8.3. 1: Skeletal Muscle Organ Structure. Each level of the organization of a skeletal muscle is wrapped in a connective tissue layer: the cell (myofiber) is surrounded by the endomysium, the bundle of cells (muscle fascicle) is surrounded by the perimysium, and the organ (muscle) is surrounded by the epimysium.
Aug 16, 2024 · No headers. Each skeletal muscle is nestled within a protective framework comprising three distinct layers of connective tissue. These layers maintain the muscle's structural integrity, facilitate potent contractions, and enable autonomous movement. The outermost layer, the epimysium, consists of dense, irregular connective tissue.
Skeletal muscle fibers are organized into groups called fascicles. Blood vessels and nerves enter the connective tissue and branch. Muscles attach to bones directly or through tendons or aponeuroses. Skeletal muscles maintain posture, stabilize joints, support organs, control internal movement, and generate heat.

These tissues include the skeletal muscle fibres, blood vessels, nerve fibres, and connective tissue. Each skeletal muscle has three layers of connective tissue (called “mysia”) that enclose it and provide structure to the muscle as a whole, and compartmentalise the muscle fibres within the muscle (Figure 9.2.1).
