A nerve fascicle, is a bundle of nerve fibers belonging to a nerve in the peripheral nervous system.[1][2] A nerve fascicle is enclosed by a layer of connective tissue perineurium. Each enclosed nerve fiber in the fascicle is enclosed by a connective tissue layer of endoneurium. Bundles of nerve fascicles are called fasciculi and are constituents of a nerve trunk.[3][4][5]
In the central nervous system (CNS) a bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve tract.
