Endoneurium
Etymology: Endoneurium, a noun, is of Greek origin. Adjective: Endoneurial.
The term ENDONEURIUM can be understood by splitting it into ENDO-NEUR-IUM
• The prefix ENDO- is derived from the Greek word endon meaning "within" or "in" or "inside".
• The combining form NEUR- is a variant of NEURO- before a vowel and is derived from the Greek word neuron meaning "nerve" or "nervous system".
• The suffix -IUM is of Latin origin probably derived from the Latinization of the Greek formative -ion. It forms nouns pertaining to names of membranes, connective tissues or regions of the body.
Therefore, endoneurium can be defined as "the connective tissue which surrounds axon (individual nerve fibre) present within a peripheral nerve". It is composed of endoneurial cells, and also has the function of separating and protecting the axon.
Synonym: Henle's sheath; endoneurial sheath.
Plural: endoneuria; endoneuriums.
