endomysium surrounds individual muscle fibers
tendon all 3 layers of connective tissue connect at each end of a muscle and form this
NMJ neuromuscular junction; where muscle fiber and nerve (neuron) connect and communicate
sarcolema plasma (cell) membrane of muscle fiber
Transverse tubules (T tubules) extend from sarcolemma into sarcoplasm
sarcoplasm the cytoplasm of skeletal muscle fiber
myofibrils cylindrical structures within each muscle fiber, contains bundles of thick and thin myofilaments
sarcoplasmic reticulum "sleeve covering myofibril"; network of membranous channels surrounding each myofibril
terminal cisternae surrounds T tubule- expanded ends of SR on either side of T tubule; 2 to a tubule
