Surrounding each muscle fiber (cell) is a delicate external lamina composed primarily of reticular fibers. This external lamina is produced by the muscle fiber and, when observed through the light microscope, cannot be distinguished from the cell membrane of the muscle fiber, the sarcolemma.
The plasma membrane of the skeletal muscle fiber is called a sarcolemma. The muscle fiber contains long cylindrical structures, the myofibrils. The myofibrils almost entirely fill the cell and push the nuclei to the outer edges of the cell under the sarcolemma.
