Epimysium
Fibrous tissue envelope that surrounds skeletal muscle
Epimysium is the fibrous tissue envelope that surrounds muscle. It is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue which ensheaths the entire muscle and protects muscles from friction against other muscles and bones. It also allows a muscle to contract and move powerfully while maintaining its structural integrity. Wikipedia
