• Epimysium

• Endomysium

• Perimysium

Bundles of muscle fibers bound together can best be described as a:

• Fasicle

• Epimysium

• Endomysium

• Perimysium

Which of the following groupings is INCORRECT:

• striated muscle, cylindrical cells, attached to the skeleton, involuntary

• smooth cells, single nucleus, wall of hollow organs, involuntary

• striated muscle, intercalated discs, branching cells, heart, involuntary

• striated muscle, multinucleate, attached to skeleton, voluntary
