What is the name of the specialized plasma membrane that surrounds each muscle fiber?
A
Sarcolemma
B
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
C
Sarcomere
D
Perimysium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sarcotubular System. The sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of the muscle cell and is surrounded by basement membrane and endomysial connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Across the synaptic cleft from the synaptic end bulb is a specialized region of the muscle fiber sarcolemma known as the motor end plate (postsynaptic membrane). There is one neuromuscular junction associated with each muscle fiber, and it is typically located near the middle of the fiber.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sarcolemma is a specialized cell membrane which surrounds striated muscle fiber cells. Sometimes called the myolemma, the sarcolemma is similar to a typical plasma membrane but has specialized functions for the muscle cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -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 fiber or a cardiomyocyte.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cell membrane of the myofiber is called the sarcolemma, which surrounds the sarcoplasm (Figure 2).
