Question

Which of the following covers the muscle?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D Epimysium

Each muscle is made up of many long, cylindrical fibres arranged in parallel arrays. Actin (thin filament) and myosin (thick filament) are called myofilaments which together constitute the myofibrils. Myofibrils constitute to make muscle fibres which constitute to form muscle fasciculus which in turn form the muscle. They help in the movement of the body.
Sheath of tough connective tissue (endomysium) encloses several bundles of muscle fibres. Perimysium covers muscle fasculi. Epimysium covers the muscle.
