Endomysium
Connective tissue surrounding a muscle fiber
Endomysium is a delicate layer of connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers. It is composed of thin and reticular fibers made up of collagen and elastin. The primary function of endomysium is to provide structural support to the muscle fibers and to create an environment for the transmission of mechanical force throughout the muscle. It also helps to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the muscle fibers and their surrounding blood vessels. The endomysium is continuous with the perimysium, which surrounds groups of muscle fibers known as fascicles, and together these layers make up the overall architecture of a muscle.
