Question

A muscle bundle is covered by

• A. sarcolemma
• B. endomysium
• C. epimysium
• D. perimysium

Answer 1

The correct option is D perimysium

A muscle fibre is a cylindrical shaped cell lined by the sarcolemma (plasma membrane). The epimysium is another covering, made of areolar connective tissue, outside the sarcolemma. Muscle fibres combine to form a muscle bundle. A muscle bundle is lined on the outer side by a layer of connective tissue called perimysium. Multiple muscle bundles combine to form skeletal muscle, which is covered by a connective tissue called epimysium.
