    Study Notes

    Skeletal Muscle Fibers

    • Skeletal muscle fibers range in diameter from 10 to 80 micrometers

    Sarcolemma

    • The sarcolemma is the cell membrane of the muscle fiber
    • The sarcolemma consists of two components: a true cell membrane (plasma membrane) and an outer coat
    • The outer coat is made up of a thin layer of polysaccharide material
    • The outer coat contains numerous thin collagen fibrils
