Peripheral nerve

These longitudinally sectioned, peripheral nerve fascicles are each immediately surrounded by a perineurium which appears as a highly compact covering.  The epineurium, between the fascicles, also surrounds the entire nerve and consists of dense connective tissue.  It contains adipocytes as well as blood vessels that supply the nerves.  100x
