<P> The sarcolemma ( sarco ( from sarx ) from Greek ; flesh , and lemma from Greek ; sheath . ) also called the myolemma , is the cell membrane of a striated muscle fiber cell . It consists of a plasma membrane , which is a lipid bilayer , and an outer coat consisting of a thin layer of polysaccharide material ( glycocalyx ) that contacts the basement membrane , which contains numerous thin collagen fibrils and specialized proteins such as laminin that provide a scaffold for the muscle fiber to adhere to . Through transmembrane proteins residing in the plasma membrane , the actin skeleton inside the cell is connected to the basement membrane and the cell 's exterior . At each end of the muscle fiber , the surface layer of the sarcolemma fuses with a tendon fiber , and the tendon fibers in turn collect into bundles to form the muscle tendons that then adhere onto bones . </P>
