Is sarcolemma a ligament?

No, the sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of a muscle cell.


What is the plasma membrane of the muscle fiber?

The plasma membrane of a muscle fiber is called the sarcolemma. It surrounds the muscle cell and is responsible for controlling the passage of substances in and out of the cell, as well as transmitting signals for muscle contraction. The sarcolemma is essential for maintaining the integrity and function of the muscle fiber.


Is Sarcomere and sarcolemma the same thing?

sarcomere and sarcolemma are two different things. a sarcomere is between two d zisks of a myofiber (muscle fiber). a sarcolemma is a plasma membrane. there are many sections of sarcomere under the layer of sarcolemma.

What is that thin membrane surrounding a muscle fiber called?

its called the plasma membrane or cell membrane. sometimes the semi-permeable plasma membrane. The Sarcolemma is the plasma membrane specifically surrounding a muscle fiber.


When the chemically gated ion channels open which ion is mainly responsible for depolarizing the sarcolemma?

The main ion responsible for depolarizing the sarcolemma is sodium (Na+).


What is the difference between endomysium and sarcolemma?

The endomysium is a connective tissue sheath that surrounds individual muscle fibers, providing support and elasticity. The sarcolemma, on the other hand, is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber, responsible for controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

When acetylcholine diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the folded sarcolemma it initaly causes what channels to open in the sarcolemma?

Acetylcholine binding causes nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the folded sarcolemma to open, allowing the influx of sodium ions into the muscle cell. This initiates an action potential that propagates along the sarcolemma and into the T-tubules, triggering muscle contraction.
