The epitenon is one of two major components in the covers of tendons. The other portion, the endotenon, covers the inside portions of the tendon, such as the fascicle, subfasicle, and tertiary fiber bundle structure, while the endotenon is the loose connective tissue sheath covering a tendon over its entire length. It contains a few fibroblast-like cells, blood and lymphatic vessels and a nerve supply.
