MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of the muscle cell and is surrounded by basement membrane and endomysial connective tissue. The sarcolemma is an excitable membrane and shares many properties with the neuronal cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sarcolemma is also called the myolemma and is the cell membrane of a striated muscle fiber cell. The function of the sarcolemma is same as that of the plasma membrane of the eukaryotic cells. Thus, the correct answer is option (B), ‘Muscle fibres’.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
