Small nerves might comprise a single funiculus, but in case of large nerves, the funiculi join to form large bundles of nerve fibers called fasciculi. These are kept together by membranous sheaths or layers of connective tissue called endoneurium, perineurium, and epineurium. The epineurium is a sense layer of connective tissue that envelops the entire nerve trunk. It surrounds the fascicles and the blood vessels that supply the nerve.

Late latent syphilis is latent syphilis where infection occurred more than 12 months ago. Latent syphilis can last for years. The late stages of syphilis can develop in about 15% of people who have not been treated for syphilis, and can appear 10â20 years after infection was first acquired.t appears at the location where syphilis entered the body.
