What is the endomysium layer? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Thin sleeve of loose

connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber.

The endomysium layer provides room for two things, what are they? - 🧠

ANSWER ✔✔1. Blood capillaries


2. Nerve fibers

The endomysium also provides an __________ ______________

environment for the muscle fiber. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔extracellular chemical


Relate the endomysium tissue and excitation. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Excitation

of the muscle fiber depends on exchange of calcium, sodium, and

potassium ions across the endomysial tissue and the nerve end.


What is the perimysium layer? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Thicker connective tissue

sheath that wraps muscle fibers together in bundles called fassicles.

, What are fassicles? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Bundles of muscle fibers together
