Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of connective tissue capsules: Connective tissue capsules are protective layers of dense connective tissue that surround certain structures in the body, providing support and protection.

Review the anatomy of lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures that are part of the lymphatic system. They are surrounded by a dense connective tissue capsule that helps maintain their shape and protects their internal components.

Compare the structures listed in the problem: Skeletal muscle fibers, epithelial tissues, and blood vessels do not have distinct connective tissue capsules. Instead, they are surrounded by other types of connective tissue or membranes, such as the endomysium for muscle fibers or the basement membrane for epithelial tissues.

Identify the correct structure: Lymph nodes are the only structure in the list that is surrounded by a distinct connective tissue capsule, which is a defining feature of their anatomy.

Conclude the reasoning: Based on the anatomical characteristics, lymph nodes are the correct answer because they are encapsulated by a dense connective tissue layer, unlike the other structures listed.
