endomysium
(noun)
A sheet of connective tissue which wraps each fascicle.
Examples of endomysium in the following topics:
-
Arrangement of Fascicles
- Each individual fiber within a fascicle is surrounded by a thin connective layer termed the endomysium, which helps maintain close association between the muscle fiber and associated vascular and nervous systems.
- Each fascicle is surrounded by another layer of connective tissue termed the endomysium.
-
Muscle Tone
- Connecting to the endomysium of a muscle fiber, muscle spindles are composed of nuclear bag fibers and nuclear chain fibers.
-
Blood Flow in Skeletal Muscle
- Skeletal muscle: 1] Bone, 2] Perimysium, 3] Blood vessel, 4] Muscle fiber, 5] Fascicle, 6] Endomysium, and 7] Epimysium Tendon.
-
Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage
- High tension in the contractile-elastic system of muscle results in structural damage to the muscle fiber and plasmalemma and its epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium.
-
Muscle Development
- These cells remain adjacent to a muscle fiber, situated between the sarcolemma and the endomysium (the connective tissue investment that divides the muscle fascicles into individual fibers).
