Question

Epimysium, perimysium and endomysium occur in ______________.

• A. Blood vessel
• B. Striated muscle
• C. Nerve
• D. Uterus

Answer 1

The correct option is B Striated muscle

Striated muscles are the voluntary muscles which have overlapping contractile myofilaments. These are made up of a contractile protein known as actin and myosin.

The connective tissue which wraps the whole muscle is termed as epimysium. It is a fibrous elastic type of tissue.

Perimysium is the connective tissue that wraps bundles of muscle fibres.

Endomysium is the layer of areolar connective tissue. It ensheaths each individual muscle fibre. It also contains capillaries, nerves, and lymphatics.

So, the correct option is B.
