ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of a muscle fibre. It is a water solution containing ATP and phosphagens, as well as the enzymes and intermediate and product molecules involved in many metabolic reactions. The most abundant metal in the sarcoplasm is potassium.

Detailed explanation-2: -sarcoplasm. Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of a myocyte (muscle fiber). It is comparable to the cytoplasm of other cells, but it contains unusually large amounts of glycosomes (granules of stored glycogen) and significant amounts of myoglobin, an oxygen-binding protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -As mentioned earlier, the plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber is called the sarcolemma. The sarcolemma invaginates into the cytoplasm of the muscle cell (sarcoplasm). This forms membranous tubules that pass across the muscle cells. These are called transverse tubules (or ‘T tubules’).

Detailed explanation-4: -Sarcolemma. The sarcolemma or cell membrane is the site where calcium enters and leaves the cell through a distribution of ion channels, transporters, and pumps. The T-tubules are invaginations of the sarcolemma that form a permeability barrier between the cytosol and the extracellular space (Brette and Orchard, 2003).

Detailed explanation-5: -This is muscle cell. The lining over muscle fibre is called sarcolemma. The protoplasm in the muscle fibre is called sarcoplasm. The endoplasmic reticulum in muscle fibre is called sarcoplasmic reticulum.
