Question

Name the connective tissue sheath which surrounds the entire muscle tissue.

• A. Epimysium
• B. Endomysium
• C. Perimysium
• D. Sarcomere

Answer 1

The correct option is A Epimysium

• The epimysium is the dense connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle tissue. The epimysium usually contains many bundles (fascicles) of muscle fibers.
• The perimysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers.
• The endomysium is the connective tissue that covers each single muscle fiber or muscle cell.
• Sarcomere is the contractile unit of muscle.

Hence the correct option is A.
