	IvyRose Holistic : Muscle Components & Associated Structures : Epimysium
		Epimysium (together with the perimysium and endomysium layers of connective tissue) generally extend beyond the fleshy part of the muscle, forming a thick rope-like tendon or a broad, flat sheet-like aponeurosis.
		Epimysium should not be confused with other layers of connective tissue located in the structure of muscles, such as endomysium or perimysium.
		Epimysium is connective tissue that wraps the whole muscle.

	skeletal muscle
		Commonly, the epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium extend beyond the fleshy part of the muscle, the belly or gaster, to form a thick ropelike tendon or a broad, flat sheet-like aponeurosis.
		Generally, an artery and at least one vein accompany each nerve that penetrates the epimysium of a skeletal muscle.
		Branches of the nerve and blood vessels follow the connective tissue components of the muscle of a nerve cell and with one or more minute blood vessels called capillaries.

	Chapter 10: Muscle Tissue
		Three layers of connective tissue are part of each muscle: (1) an outer epimysium, (2) a central perimysium, and (3) an inner endomysium.
		The entire muscle is surrounded by the epimysium, a dense layer of collagen fibers.
		At each end of the muscle, the collagen fibers of the epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium come together to form a bundle known as a tendon or a broad sheet called an aponeurosis.

	Muscular System / Structure of Skeletal Muscle
		An individual skeletal muscle may be made up of hundreds, or even thousands, of muscle fibers bundled together and wrapped in a connective tissue covering.
		Fascia, connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles.
		Portions of the epimysium project inward to divide the muscle into compartments.

		Ultimately, the superior space will be bounded by the attachments of the articular capsule medially, and laterally by the origination of the retrodiscal attachment posteriorly, and by the blending of epimysium, capsule and periosteum anteriorly.
		In the anterior of the upper joint cavity, the space will be limited generally to the eminence at its most prominent portion or slightly, onto the anterior slope of the eminence.
		This reflection comprises a blending of epimysium with the periosteum of the anterior eminence through an orifice of the capsule.

		Just under the epimysium the muscle cells are grouped into bundles called fasiculi.

	Connective tissue elements associated with a skeletal muscle.
		Bundles of muscle fibres (fascicles) are surrounded by perimysium which is also loose connective tissue and carries blood vessels and nerves.
		Depending on the size of the muscle, epimysium may vary from loose to dense connective tissue.
		Towards the attachments of muscles, the connective tissue elements gather together to form strong, dense fibrous structures which serve to anchor the muscle to a bone.

		Striated muscle cells are among the largest cells in the body of a vertebrate.
		A favorite of commercial slide preparers, frog striated muscle allows the histology student to view and study the transverse striations, nucleus, collagen tissue, endothelium, and tough surrounding epimysium typical of vertebrate skeletal muscle cells.
		Physiologists and biophysicists employ frog striated muscle cells as working models for explaining the sliding filament theory and for assessing the mechanical forces and velocities involved with leg (or other skeletal) movement.

		Multiple muscle fibers are bound together in bundles called fasiculi, and the connective tissue surrounding fasiculi is referred to as perimysium.
		Covering the whole muscle is a connective tissue referred to as epimysium.

		Each whole muscle is covered by yet another layer of connective tissue, the epimysium; the epimysium grades into fascia.
		Muscles can attach to bone directly through collagen fibers between the epimysium and periosteum or indirectly through extensions of deep fascia called tendons.
		A muscle attachment at the stationary end is the origin; the relatively movable end is the insertion; the thicker middle region is the belly of the muscle.
