Question

Epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium are found in
A) Nerve
B) Blood vessel
C) Striated muscle
D) Uterus

Answer 1

Hint: It is often referred to as skeletal muscles and by tendons they are attached to bones. It has stripes in it; in a definite way, they are arranged parallel to each other.

Complete answer:
First we should know about skeletal muscle to answer this question. A skeletal muscle consists of several muscle cells known as muscle fibres. In order to form a muscle, three layers of connective tissues envelop these fibres. This and other muscle-related connective tissues follow:The endomysium is the connective tissue covering the muscle fibre. A collection of muscle fibres are encircled by the perimysium, forming a fascicle. To form a complete muscle, the epimysium surrounds all the fascicles.
Now, let us find the solution from the options-
Epimysium, which covers each muscle, is a fibrous elastic tissue. A single muscle forms many fascicles. The muscle created by groups of parallel fascicles is surrounded by epimysium.
Epimysium consists of connective tissue that is dense.
Epimysium along with the perimysium and endomysium layers of the connective tissue normally spreads beyond the fleshy portion of the muscle i.e., striated muscle and forms a dense cord-like tendon or a long, flat sheet-like aponeurosis. These include indirect muscle attachments to the periosteum of the bones or to other muscle connective tissue.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) Striated muscle.

Note: Muscles and their fibres are attached together by connective tissue that compartmentalizes, nourishes, and shapes them. There are three types of connective tissue that envelop muscle fibres into a bundle of size from the macroscopic to the microscopic, and they are epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium.
