Perimysium

Perimysium

The perimysium is a layer of connective tissue that covers the muscle at the level of the capillaries and passes into the tendons. A characteristic feature is the absence of a formed internal structure, fibrous fibers, and a mesh structure. The function of this layer is to form strong connections between muscle fibers, tendons and bones, which provides support and fixation to the muscles in the joint area. Among other functions, it should be noted the regulation of blood flow during muscle contraction and relaxation, uniform distribution of loads on muscles and tendon fibers along the entire length, and rapid recovery after strength exercises.

State of periodism in tissues

Since the perimysium contains many blood vessels and nerve endings, it can cause severe pain in muscles and joints, weakness and general weakening of the body. In diseases of the perimysium, accelerated weight loss becomes noticeable. In addition, deformations of this connective layer can impede movement and normal functioning of the joint. In addition, with pathology of the perimysium, bones, organs and even internal organs may be subject to compression, reduction in size or deformation. Diseases of perimysis are manifested by: sudden pain during physical activity and when walking, limited mobility of the limbs, swelling in the area of ​​muscles and joints, soreness of muscles and tissues in a passive state, the presence of compactions, thickenings or various types of formations in the area of ​​the joints. In some cases, cramping may occur. With arthrosis, tissue numbness, a feeling of cold, distortion of muscle sensitivity, and loss of muscle elasticity develop. With a long course of these diseases of the perimysium, irreversible changes and deterioration of the condition of the entire musculoskeletal system develop.

However, the consequences of advanced diseases and pathologies can appear quite soon after the onset of pathology development, so it is recommended to pay sufficient attention to the condition of the perimized tissue. To conduct research in this area, it is advisable to conduct magnetic resonance imaging. As for therapy, in most cases, effective treatment is the use of anti-inflammatory, absorbable and regenerating drugs, including external agents, ointments, creams and gels, physical therapy, exercises to maintain muscles
