Organization of Muscular System
Skeletal Muscle
Fasicle
Muscle Fiber
Myofibril
Sarcomere

Epimysium
dense irregular connective tissue wrapping whole muscle

Perimysium
Dense, irregular connective tissue wrapping a fascicle
Houses many blood vessels and nerves

Endomysium
Areolar connective tissue wrapping individual fiber
Delicate layer for electrical insulation, capillary support, and binding of neighboring cells

Origin
the end of the muscle that is the fixed point of attachment.

Insertion
the end of the muscle that is movable.

Belly
body of the muscle, located between the origin and insertion
General Functions of Skeletal Muscle
