Peripheral Nervous System - Histology Introduction. Nerves of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are composed of numerous bundles of nerve fibers that are surrounded by connective tissue. This connective tissue also contains a specific layer that is specialised to neurons; the peri-neurium. The outer layer of this connective tissue is called the epineurium and it surrounds both the perineurium and the nerve itself. Individual neurons found within each bundle are surrounded by the endoneurium.

connective tissue connective tissue. n. 1. (Zoology) an animal tissue developed from the embryonic mesoderm that consists of collagen or elastic fibres, fibroblasts, fatty cells, etc, within a jelly-like matrix. It supports organs, fills the spaces between them, and forms tendons and ligaments.onnective tissue-tissue of mesodermal origin consisting of e.g. collagen fibroblasts and fatty cells; supports organs and fills spaces between them and forms tendons and ligaments.

Scar Tissue: Where and how? This connective tissue also ensheaths the entire muscle & is called epimysium. Skeletal muscles consist of numerous subunits or bundles called fasicles (or fascicles). Fascicles are also surrounded by connective tissue (called the perimysium) and each fascicle is composed of numerous muscle fibers (or muscle cells). Muscle cells, ensheathed by endomysium, consist of many fibrils (or myofibrils), and these myofibrils are made up of long protein molecules called myofilaments.

- Dense connective tissue, or collagen, has a much more closely woven matrix than loose connective tissue. The two varieties of this type are called regular and irregular. Tendons and ligaments are considered regular types, with the collagen fibers running parallel to each other to form the structure.dipose tissue, more commonly known as fat, is a type of connective tissue. Muscles utilize numerous kinds of connective tissues. Human ears are made of cartilage. A large part of the dermis is made up of dense irregular connective tissue. Pregnant women tend to develop additional deposits of adipose tissue.

- An individual skeletal muscle is separated from adjacent muscles and held in position by layers of dense connective tissue called fascia (fash'e-ah). This connective tissue surrounds each muscle and may project beyond the end of its muscle fibers to form a cordlike tendon.Fibers in a tendon intertwine with those in the periosteum of a bone, attaching the muscle to the bone.uscle fibers within the fascicle are surrounded by endomysium (320x). connective tissue, therefore, enclose and separate all parts of a skeletal muscle. This arrangement allows the parts to move somewhat independently. Also, many blood vessels and nerves pass through these layers.

- The muscle fibers bound together by the endomysium form a bundle called a fascicle. The fascicles are surrounded by connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers that supports the blood vessels and nerves that serve the fibers of the fascicles.This connective tissue is called the perimysium. 3. Epimysium.he thick filaments are linked in the center of the sarcomere by proteins that form the M line. At either end of the sarcomere, the actin filaments are attached to one another by proteins that form the Z line.

Structure of Muscle  (and associated connective tissues) Endomysium is the name of the fine connective tissue sheath that surrounds/covers each single/individual muscle fibre. Muscle fibres, also known as 'muscle fibers' (American spelling) and 'muscle cells', are special cells that are able to contract, thereby causing movement - of other tissues/parts of the body.

- Perimysium. The muscle fibers bound together by the endomysium form a bundle called a fascicle. The fascicles are surrounded by connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers that supports the blood vessels and nerves that serve the fibers of the fascicles. This connective tissue is called the perimysium. 3. Epimysium.

Nerve Each nerve is a cordlike structure containing bundles of axons. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium. The axons are bundled together into groups called fascicles, and each fascicle is wrapped in a layer of connective tissue called the perineurium.

Perimysium. The muscle fibers bound together by the endomysium form a bundle called a fascicle. The fascicles are surrounded by connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers that supports the blood vessels and nerves that serve the fibers of the fascicles.

- The material between the cells of connective tissue consists of fibers and an amorphous gel-like component called the ground substance. The potential importance of the ground substance is readily apparent; for it is through this material that nutrients supplied by the blood diffuse. A large part of connective tissue proper is composed of extracellular material produced primarily by the fibroblasts. 2  The extracellular material consists of a gel-like substance called the ground substance, and fibers.

The connective tissue covering furnish support and protection for the delicate cells and allow them to withstand the forces of contraction. The coverings also provide pathways for the passage of blood vessels and nerves.ach skeletal muscle fiber is a single cylindrical muscle cell.

Skeletal muscle Connective tissue is present in all muscles as fascia. Enclosing each muscle is a layer of connective tissue known as the epimysium; enclosing each fascicle is a layer called the perimysium, and enclosing each muscle fiber is a layer of connective tissue called the endomysium.t is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. Skeletal muscle is made up of individual muscle cells or myocytes, known as muscle fibers.
