Epimysium

The endomysium is a wispy layer of areolar connective tissue that wraps around each individual muscle fiber or cell. It contains capillaries and nerves and is the deepest and smallest component of the muscular connective tissue.

The perimysium (or exomysium) is a connective tissue that surrounds groups of muscle fibers called bundles or fascicles.

The epimysium is a fibrous tissue that envelopes the entire (skeletal) muscle, protecting it from friction against other muscles and bones. It is continuous with the fascia, tendons, and other connective tissues of the muscles such as the endomysium and the perimysium.
