connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles
|
fascia
|
|
Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the
|
epimysium
|
|
Portions of the epimysium project inward to divide the muscle into compartments. Each compartment contains a bundle of muscle fibers called:
|
fasciculus
|
|
The fasciculus is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the
|
perimysium
|
|
Within the fasciculus, each individual muscle cell, called a muscle fiber, is surrounded by connective tissue called the
|
endomysium
|
|

muscle type found in the walls of the hollow internal organs such as blood vessels, the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, and uterus, is under control of the autonomic nervous system
|

Muscles of facial expression include
|

|
|
Muscles that move the shoulder and arm include

muscles connect to the humerus and move the arm.
|
