A Correct answer
Explanation

The epimysium is the outermost layer of dense, irregular, connective tissue that surrounds and holds muscles in the body. It is continuous with the perimysium and endomysium of a muscle. The primary function of the epimysium is to combine with these other muscular connective tissues to form a thick, collagenous cord of tissue known as a tendon.
