What is the structure of skeletal muscle?

Each skeletal muscle is an organ that is made up of various integrated tissues. These tissues include skeletal muscle fibers, blood vessels, nerve fibers, and connective tissue. Each skeletal muscle has three layers of connective tissue that surround it and provide structure for the muscle as a whole, and also separate the muscle fibers within the muscle.

Each muscle is wrapped in a sheath of dense, irregular connective tissue called epimisium, which allows the muscle to contract and move while maintaining its structural integrity. The epimisium also separates the muscle from other tissues and organs in the area, allowing the muscle to move independently.
