MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

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: -The cytoplasm in the muscle fibre is called as sarcoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -The abundant sarcoplasm (i.e., cytoplasm) within the core of the myotube between and around nuclei contains membranous organelles. These are mitochondria with well-formed cristae, Golgi apparatuses generally located at the end of a nucleus, and single-membrane vesicles.

Detailed explanation-5: -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’).
