Do musle tissue has intercellular matrix ? Or just Connective tissue packaging?
Solution
Muscle fibres are embedded into an extracellular matrix consisting of mesh of collagenous components as well as mixture of macromolecules such as glycoproteins and proteoglycans.
The extracellular matrix material is called basement membrane and composed of two layers an internal,a basal lamina directly linked to plasma membrane of sarcolemma and external reticular lamina.
