Structure of Skeletal Muscle -

  • Each organised skeletal muscle in our body is made of a number of muscle bundles or fascicles held together by a common collagenous connective tissue layer called fascia or epimysium.
  • Each muscle bundle or fascicle is surrounded by a perimysium.
  • Each muscle bundle or fascicle contains a number of muscle fibres or myofibers. These are the muscle cells.
  • The myofibres are covered with endomysium.
  • Each myofiber is lined by the plasma membrane called sarcolemma enclosing the sarcoplasm. 
  • The muscle fibre is a syncytium as the sarcoplasm contains many nuclei. 
  • The endoplasmic reticulum, i.e., the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle fibres is the storehouse of calcium ions.
  • A characteristic feature of the muscle fibre is the presence of a large number of parallelly arranged filaments in the sarcoplasm called myofilaments or myofibrils. 
  • Each myofibril has alternate dark and light bands on it. 
  • A detailed study of the myofibril has established that the striated appearance is due to the distribution pattern of two important proteins – Actin and Myosin. 
  • The light bands contain actin and are called I-band or Isotropic bands, whereas the dark band called ‘A’ or Anisotropic band contains myosin.
