Question

Bundle of nerve fibres covered by perineurium is called

• A. nerve fasciculus
• B. endoneurium
• C. nerve
• D. epineurium

Answer 1

The correct option is A nerve fasciculus

The outermost layer of dense irregular connective tissue surrounding a peripheral nerve is called epineurium.
The sheath of connective tissue surrounding a bundle (fascicle) of nerve fibres within a nerve is called perineurium.
Each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium.
Bundle of nerve fibres covered by perineurium is called nerve fasciculus.
Axon or dendrite of a nerve cell covered with endoneurium is called a nerve fibre.
Many nerve fasciculi covered by epineurium form a nerve.
