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.
