Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The types of tissue found in the animal are the epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, connective tissue, and the nervous tissue. The connective tissue is developed from the mesoderm layer of the embryo. This tissue is found in almost all tissues and organs of the body.

Answer to Problem 1PL

Correct answer:

Option (c), epimysium.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (c) is epimysium. It is the outermost layer of the connective tissue that encircles the fascicles. Hence, this option is correct.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (a) is fascicle. It is a bundle of nerves or muscle fibers that are surrounded by connective tissue. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (b) is endomysium. This is the innermost layer of the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (d) is perimysium. It is the middle layer of the connective tissue that surrounds the muscle fibers forming a fascia.

Conclusion

Option (c), epimysium.
