title: Electron Microscopy of bovine muscle, I-The native state of post rigor sarcolemma and endomysium.
abstract: The bovine sarcolemma with its associated endomysium has been shown to maintain its integrity post rigor except for the occurrence of some small perforations in the sarcolemma. The close structural association of the three component parts, i.e. the plasmalemma, basement membrane and endomysium, persists even during physical disruption of muscle, such that when a tear occursall three parts are involved.
