Epimysium of muscles are made up of

• A. White fibrous connective tissue
• B. Adipose connective tissue
• C. Reticular connective tissue
• D. Areolar connective tissue

Answer 1

The correct option is A White fibrous connective tissue

Epimysium is the outermost white fibrous connective tissue that completely surrounds and encases skeletal muscle. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue. The most important biological purposes of this layer are protection from strain and friction. The smoothness of the tissues promotes seamless gliding, and also protect joints and other high-impact areas from rips or tears and promotes smooth movement of the limbs and joints.

Hence the correct option is A.
