Question

question 16
groups of skeletal muscle fibers are bound together by a connective tissue envelope called the:
endomysium.
perimysium.
epimysium.
aponeurosis.

question 17
the flexor muscles that move the fingers are mostly located on the:
anterior lateral surface of the forearm.
anterior medial surface of the forearm.
posterior surface of the forearm.
posterior surface of the hand.

question 18
the linea alba is a band of connective tissue that runs over the rectus abdominis from the xiphoid process to the pubis.
true
false

Explanation:

• For Question 16: Perimysium binds groups of skeletal - muscle fibers. Endomysium surrounds individual muscle fibers, epimysium covers the whole muscle, and aponeurosis is a sheet - like tendon.
• For Question 17: Flexor muscles that move the fingers are mostly on the anterior medial surface of the forearm. The anterior lateral surface has other muscles, the posterior surface of the forearm has extensor muscles, and the posterior surface of the hand is not the main location for finger flexors.
• For Question 18: The linea alba is indeed a band of connective tissue running from the xiphoid process to the pubis over the rectus abdominis.

Answer:

Question 16: B. perimysium
Question 17: B. anterior medial surface of the forearm
Question 18: A. True
