Detailed explanation-1: -What is the sarcolemma? It is the thin, transparent, extensible plasma membrane of the muscle cell. It consists of a cell membrane (plasma membrane) and an outer coat made up of a thin layer of polysaccharide (glycocalyx) material with numerous thin collagen fibrils.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sarcolemma maintains the intracellular milieu, actively transports substrates into the muscle cell, serves as a docking location for proteins originating in the basement membrane and cytoskeleton, and also transmits neural excitatory impulses that lead to muscle contraction.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber is called the sarcolemma. The sarcolemma is the site of action potential conduction, which triggers muscle contraction. Within each muscle fiber are myofibrils-long cylindrical structures that lie parallel to the muscle fiber.

Detailed explanation-5: -The outermost connective tissue sheath surrounding the entire muscle is known as epimysium. The connective tissue sheath covering each fasciculus is known as perimysium, and the innermost sheath surrounding individual muscle fiber is known as endomysium.
