Structure of the Muscle Fibre.—A muscle fibre is a long cylindrical cell varying from less than one to fi\'e inches ( to cm.) in length. It is surrounded by a delicate sheath called the sarcolemma, within which lie the nuclei and muscle substance. The muscle sub- stance consists of two elements—the fibrillae, or contractile portion of the fibre, and the sarco- plasm, or undifferentia

The muscle sub- stance consists of two elements—the fibrillae, or contractile portion of the fibre, and the sarco- plasm, or undifferentiated portion. The fibrillae are arranged parallel to one another and are separated by the sarcoplasm; and as the former respond well to the protoplasmic stains, and the latter practically not at all, the alternation of such stained and unstained stripes produces the. \tropiC Mjcr—ijHiiH If r(<ittJ(»*!/ fi i" fiiHiiivi!.;.'.
