1. 7.2: Muscle Tissues, Connective Tissues, Nerves, and Blood Vessels
By: Kolby Moyer, Jacob Hill

2. Organization of Skeletal muscle tissue
Organs that contain:
Connective tissue
Blood vessels
Nerves
Skeletal muscle tissue

3. Tendons Where three layers of connective tissue come together
Attaches muscle to bone

4. Blood Vessels and Nerves
Extensive network of blood vessels in skeletal muscle
Provides high amounts of nutrients and oxygen
To skeletal muscles which have high metabolic needs

5. Control of skeletal muscle
Most under voluntary control
Must be simulated by central nervous system
Axons
Push through epimysium
Branch through perimysium
And enter the endomysium
To control individual muscle fibers

6. Three Layers of Connective Tissue
Epimysium covers entire tissue
Perimysium divides muscles into bundles; Blood vessels and nerves are contained
Endomysium covers each muscle fiber and ties fibers together; Contains capillaries and nerve tissues

7. Key Terms
Epimysium: Layer of collagen fibers that surrounds the entire muscle
Perimysium: Divide the skeletal muscle into compartments
Fascicle: In each compartment, it’s a bundle of muscle fibers
Endomysium: In each fascicle, surrounds each skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together
Tendon: Collagen fibers of all three layers come together
Aponeurosis: Collagen fibers form a broad sheet

8. Checkpoint Questions
Epimysium- covers entire muscle, perimysium- fascicles, blood vessels and nerves, endomysium- ties fibers together
It would limit the movement because the muscle is no longer attached to the bone
