perineurium

^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0000121


A layer of thin, concentrically arranged cells with interspersed collagen that lies within the epineurium. The perineurium is a component of the blood–nerve barrier and is essential for protecting axons and their associated Schwann cells from ionic flux, toxins and infection.
