Endomysium vs. Sarcolemma

Endomysiumnoun

a layer of connective tissue which surrounds individual muscle fibers

Endomysiumnoun

The delicate bands of connective tissue interspersed among muscular fibers.

Endomysium

The endomysium, meaning within the muscle, is a wispy layer of areolar connective tissue that ensheaths each individual muscle fiber, or muscle cell. It also contains capillaries and nerves.

Sarcolemmanoun

(anatomy) A thin cell membrane that surrounds a striated muscle fibre.

Sarcolemmanoun

The very thin transparent and apparently homogeneous sheath which incloses a striated muscular fiber; the myolemma.

Sarcolemmanoun

an extensible membrane enclosing the contractile substance of a muscle fiber

Sarcolemma

The sarcolemma (sarco (from sarx) from Greek; flesh, and lemma from Greek; sheath) also called the myolemma, is the cell membrane of a muscle cell. It consists of a lipid bilayer and a thin outer coat of polysaccharide material (glycocalyx) that contacts the basement membrane.
