🗑
fascicles   bundles of muscle fibers  
🗑
endomysium   third layer of connective tissue that surround the fascicles  
🗑
crush syndrome   compartment syndrome, crush injury, muscle is damaged becomes inflamed; leaches fluid into the compartment; pressure increase and compresses nerves and blood vessels;deprived of oxygen and nourishement; muscles and nerves begin to die
