Nerve fascicle
Transverse section of human tibial nerve.
Nerve structure
Gray's	subject #183 728

A small bundle of fibers, enclosed by the perineurium, is called a funiculus; if the nerve is of small size, it may consist only of a single funiculus; but if large, the funiculi are collected together into larger bundles or nerve fascicles, which are bound together in a common membranous investment.
