Document Summary

Composed of skeletal muscle fibers, connective tissue layers, blood vessels, and nerves. Muscle fibers are organized into bundles called fascicles, fascicles are bundled within the whole skeletal muscle organ. Epimysium = layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the whole skeletal muscle. Perimysium = surrounds the fascicles, the dense irregular connective tissue sheath of the perimysium contains extensive arrays of blood vessels and nerves that branch to supply muscle fibers within each individual fasicle. Endomysium = innermost connective tissue layer, delicate areolar connective tissue that surrounds and electrically insulates each muscle fiber, has reticular protein fibers to help bind together neighboring muscle fibers and to support capillaries near the fibers. Skeletal muscle is vascularized by an extensive network of blood vessels, innervated by somatic motor neurons, junction between neuron and muscle is neuromuscular junction. Describe the microanatomy of a muscle fiber using proper terminology. Sarcoplasm = cytoplasm in skeletal muscle fibers.
