3.3.1 Architecture
Figure: The Three Connective Tissue Layers: Bundles of muscle fibers, called fascicles, are
covered by the perimysium. Muscle fibers are covered by the endomysium.
Inside each skeletal muscle, muscle fibers are organized into bundles, called fascicles,
surrounded by a middle layer of connective tissue called the perimysium. This fascicular
3.3.2 Mechanisms
The mechanism of how the muscular system can be used as a scaffold in regenerative
medicine involves the use of muscle cells and a scaffold to support the growth and regeneration
of new tissue.
The method of growing muscle tissue using hydrogel or artificial scaffold is explained
below:

The basic steps in this process are as follows:
