Sarcolemma - Wikipedia The sarcolemma (sarco (from sarx) from Greek; flesh, and lemma from Greek; sheath), also called the myolemma, is the cell membrane surrounding a skeletal muscle fibre or a cardiomyocyte [1][2] It consists of a lipid bilayer and a thin outer coat of polysaccharide material (glycocalyx) that contacts the basement membrane
Sarcolemma | Complete Anatomy - Elsevier The sarcolemma is the fine, delicate, extensible membrane surrounding each muscle fiber It is composed of a cell, or plasma, membrane which presents an extracellular matrix of collagen fibrils and polysaccharides that make contact with the basal lamina
What is the Difference Between Sarcolemma and Endomysium The main difference between sarcolemma and endomysium is that sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of the muscle fiber whereas endomysium is a thin sleeve of fibrous connective tissue over the muscle fiber
Sarcolema: Importance, Structure, Function . . . - Scope Heal Typically, the sarcolemma connects the basement membrane that surrounds all connective tissues or other muscle cells, creating a solid fiber that can contract Each sarcolemma has a biochemical composition similar to a plasmalemma, another word for a cell membrane
