  1. Just to add to what the previous poster correctly stated, endoneurium exists in peripheral nerve trunks and within fascicles (bundles of nerves).  It does not exist around neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) until they enter fascicles (bundles of neurons), if they do so, and not all of them do--there are many different kinds of neurons.

    Any given neuron has only one axon, but that axon may have collateral branches.


  2. Hello

    First of all it's called endoneurium.

    Then I believe I learned that the axon is covered in a myelin sheeth. The endoneurium is just connective tissue that holds the structures together. Oh and "every individual axon"? As far as I remember a neuron has only one axon, possibly a few terminals, and many, many dendrites.
