This connective tissue surrounds each muscle and may project beyond the end of its muscle fibers to form a cordlike tendon.hese sections contain bundles of skeletal muscle fibers called fascicles (fasciculi). Each muscle fiber within a fascicle (fasciculus) lies within a layer of connective tissue in the form of a thin covering called endomysium (figs. 9.2 and 9.3).
