MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Each skeletal muscle fiber is a single cylindrical muscle cell. An individual skeletal muscle may be made up of hundreds, or even thousands, of muscle fibers bundled together and wrapped in a connective tissue covering. Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium.

Detailed explanation-2: -The SR is composed of tubules and cisternae surrounding each myofibril.

Detailed explanation-3: -The muscle cell membrane is called the sarcolemma and the cytoplasm, the sarcoplasm. The sarcolemma has the property of excitability and can conduct the electrical impulses that occur during depolarization.
