Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perineurium is the layer of fibrous connective tissue that surrounds a bundle of nerve fibers, also known as a fascicle. The epineurium is the outermost layer that surrounds multiple fascicles, while the endoneurium is the connective tissue that surrounds individual nerve fibers. The neurilemma is a part of individual nerve fibers, specifically the outermost layer of Schwann cells that aids in nerve regeneration.
