Indicated are the outmost layer of nerve (the epineurium) and the vasa nervorum, the perineurium (which ensheathes bundles of nerve fibers and forms the blood-nerve barrier) and the endoneurium. The inset highlights the mixture of cell types present in the endoneurium including axons, myelinating and nonmyelinating Schwann cells, fibroblasts and mast cells.
