Epimysium

Epimysium is a connective tissue membrane surrounding a muscle. It covers the entire muscle and serves to connect muscle fibers into a single whole. The epimysium performs a supporting and protective function - it protects the muscle from damage and compression. In addition, the epimysium provides nutrition to the muscle, since it contains blood and lymphatic vessels. Thus, the epimysium plays an important role in the functioning of skeletal muscles, ensuring their integrity and vital activity.

Epimysium is the connective tissue sheath of the muscle that surrounds it from the outside. It has many functions, including supporting and protecting the muscle, regulating blood supply and metabolism, transmitting nerve impulses, forming scar tissue, and participating in muscle regeneration. Impaired epimysial function can lead to various diseases and health problems.
