description

The perineurium is composed of multiple concentric single-cell layers enclosing individual nerve fascicles. Each layer has a thickness equivalent to the width of a perineurial cell. Groups of these cells join by means of tight junctions and desmosomes to form layers that function as a barrier against diffusion of particles across them. Perineurial internal layers have more of these specialized unions among perineurial cells, which are proximal to nerve fascicles.
