10.2 Skeletal Muscle – Anatomy & Physiology
Skeletal muscle fibers are long, multinucleated cells. The membrane of the cell is the sarcolemma; the cytoplasm of the cell is the sarcoplasm. The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a form of endoplasmic reticulum. Muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils which are composed of sarcomeres linked in series.
10.3 Muscle Fiber Excitation, Contraction, and Relaxation
The SR structure surrounds the myofibrils, allowing storage and release of calcium directly at sites of actin and myosin overlap. The excitation of the muscle membrane is coupled to the SR release of calcium through invaginations in the sarcolemma …
Muscle Fiber Membrane - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The muscle fiber membrane refers to the highly corrugated membrane of a muscle cell that contains primary and secondary clefts with a large surface area. It plays a crucial role in signal transduction and muscle contraction by containing high densities of receptors and channels such as AChRs and Na+ channels.
10.2 Skeletal Muscle - Anatomy and Physiology 2e - OpenStax
Neurons and muscle cells can use their membrane potentials to generate electrical signals. They do this by controlling the movement of charged particles, called ions, across their membranes to create electrical currents.

2023年8月28日 · The primary functions of the skeletal muscle take place via its intrinsic excitation-contraction coupling process. As the muscle is attached to the bone tendons, the contraction of the muscle leads to movement of that bone that allows for the performance of specific movements.
Skeletal muscle tissue: Histology - Kenhub
2023年11月4日 · Muscle tissue terms often begin with myo-, mys-, or sarco-. The cytoplasm of a muscle cells is referred to as sarcoplasm. The plasma membrane is called the sarcolemma and the endoplasmic reticulum is called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. A muscle fiber may also be referred to as a myofiber.
