Question:
Talk about the sarcolemma of the smooth muscle cells.
Author: H KAnswer:
The sarcolemma is rich in invaginations called caveolae, and is a plasma membrane surrounded by a basal lamina. Caveolae are numerous and have a regular distribution between the dense bodies on the sarcolemma. They contain essentially Ca++ ions; they may function in a similar manner to T tubules or systems of striated muscle cells.
