A muscle fiber is composed of many myofibrils which contain sarcomeres with light and dark regions that give the cell its striated appearance. Microscopically both the skeletal and cardiac musculature have a striated appearance due to their densely packed myofibrils. This dense connective tissue sheath known as the epimysium of muscle fibers.

As it covers the entire body surface it is the first line of defence against any kind of mechanical injury chemical exposure excessive fluid loss and infections.

Epimysium of muscle fibers a dense irregular connective tissue layer surroundings the entire skeletal muscle fibers. Central part of A band where no thin filaments reach. It is made up of thin and elongated cells called muscle fibers. Muscular tissues are of three types striated muscle smooth muscle and cardiac.
