perimysium
(noun)
The continuation of the epimysium into the muscle, splitting fibers into fascicles.
Examples of perimysium in the following topics:
-
Arrangement of Fascicles
- Skeletal muscles are grouped into fascicles, which are bunches of muscle fibers surrounded by a perimysium.
- It extends inwards and becomes the perimysium, then into the muscle separating muscle fibers into small bundles termed fascicles.
- Within this is a layer termed the epimysium which splits inwards into the muscle as the perimysium dividing muscle fibers into groups termed fascicle.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Skeletal Muscle Fibers
- They are bound together by perimysium, a sheath of connective tissue, into bundles called fascicles, which are in turn bundled together to form muscle tissue.
