Dr.Bendersky has published a new book which discusses anti-Semitism, entitled The Jewish Threat - anti-Semitic Politics of the U.S. Army (Basic Books, N.Y., 2000). The book is so provocative that it will stimulate great discussion.
Muscle cells have three coverings. The endomysium covers each individual muscle cell. The perimysium is a connective tissue sheath that covers small bundles of muscle cells known as fascicles. The fascicles make up larger muscle bundles that are then covered by a connective tissue sheath known as the perimysium.
Connective Tissue Coverings. 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.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).
