Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What surrounds the sarcolemma of a muscle fiber?
A
sarcoplasm
B
endomysium
C
myofilaments
D
epimysium
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -The endomysium, meaning within the muscle, is a wispy layer of areolar connective tissue that ensheaths each individual muscle fiber, or muscle cell. It also contains capillaries and nerves. It overlies the muscle fiber’s cell membrane: the sarcolemma.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endomysium surrounding muscle fibers is connected to the perimysium by intermittent perimysial junctional plates (PJPs), described by Passerieux et al.

Detailed explanation-4: -Within the fasciculus, each individual muscle cell, called a muscle fiber, is surrounded by connective tissue called the endomysium.

Detailed explanation-5: -Endomysium. The sarcolemma of a muscle is a sheath that covers the skeletal muscle fiber, similar to a plasma membrane for the muscle cell. Surrounding this sheath is a layer of connective tissue covering, called the endomysium.
