WHAT DOES SARCOLEMMA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sarcolemma

The sarcolemma (Sarco (from Sarx) from Greek; Flesh, and Lemma from Greek; sheath.) also called the myolemma, is the cell membrane of a striated muscle fiber cell. It consists of a plasma membrane which is a lipid bi-layer, and an outer coat consisting of a thin layer of polysaccharide material (glycocalyx) that contacts the Basement membrane containing numerous thin collagen fibrils and specialized proteins such as Laminin to provide a scaffold for the muscle fiber to adhere to. Through trans-membrane proteins residing in the plasma membrane the actin skeleton inside the cell is connected to the basement membrane and the cells exterior. At each end of the muscle fiber, the surface layer of the sarcolemma fuses with a tendon fiber, and the tendon fibers in turn collect into bundles to form the muscle tendons that then adhere onto bones. The sarcolemma generally maintains the same function in muscle cells as the plasma membrane does in other eukaryote cells. It acts as a barrier between the extracellular and intracellular compartments, defining the individual muscle fiber from with its surroundings.

Definition of sarcolemma in the English dictionary

The definition of sarcolemma in the dictionary is the membrane covering a muscle fibre.
