    • The usual position of skeletal muscle nuclei and the discovery of the sarcolemma is credited to Bowman.
    • EC coupling occurs at specialized regions where the intracellular sarcoplasmic reticulum forms junctions with the sarcolemma or, more frequently, with tubular invaginations of the sarcolemma known as transverse tubules.
    • Structural abnormalities included loss of lateral alignment of myofibrils, perturbation of myofibril anchorage to the sarcolemma, abnormal mitochondrial number and organization, and loss of nuclear shape and positioning.
    • Desmin and vinculin are functionally related proteins that are present in the membrane-associated dense bodies in the sarcolemma of the smooth muscle cells.
    Synonyms
    covering, cover, case, casing, envelope, sleeve, wrapper

Derivatives

  • sarcolemmal

  • adjective
    Physiology
    • Diffuse fluorescent uptake of procion orange in the cytoplasm of diaphragm muscle fibers identifies sarcolemmal rupture of those individual fibers.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Early mechanical ventilation decreases the sarcolemmal injury and associated diaphragmatic dysfunction.
      • Endotoxemia and sepsis also induce mitochondrial dysfunction, sarcolemmal injury, and weakness and fatigability of the diaphragm.
      • In the present study, no significant sarcolemmal rupture was noted in EMP-sham animals.
      • Additional evidence for ongoing denervation of UA muscle in OSA is provided by the significant increase in sarcolemmal N-CAM staining.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from Greek sarx, sark- 'flesh' + lemma 'husk'.
