Question

List three reasons why the connective tissue sheaths of skeletal muscle are important

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

These are the three reasons why the connective tissue wrappings of the skeletal muscle are important:

- Supporting and binding the muscle fibers.

- Providing strength to the muscle as a whole.

- Provide a route for the entry and exit of nerves and blood vessels that serve the muscle fibers.

Skeletal muscle has three different connective tissue layers: the whole muscle is enclosed by a dense connective tissue sheath called the epimysium, cells (fibers), like other body cells, are soft and fragile. The connective tissue covering furnish support and protection for the delicate cells and allow them to withstand the forces of contraction.

There are more indirect muscle attachments than direct—that is, tendinous-muscle attachments than direct muscle attachments because of their small size, more tendons can pass over a joint.
