Perimysium is the connective tissue surrounding muscle bundles, and
What does the perimysium cover?
Perimysium is the name given to the fibrous sheath that surrounds (covers) each bundle of single muscle fibres, the bundle being known as a fascicle. Some texts describe perimysium as "dividing" or "grouping" individual muscle fibres into bundles or fasciculi.
What is the role of perimysium?
Perimysium is a sheath of connective tissue that groups muscle fibers into bundles (anywhere between 10 and 100 or more) or fascicles. Studies of muscle physiology suggest that the perimysium plays a role in transmitting lateral contractile movements.
