Question

Covering membrane around nerve fibre is known as (A) Neurilemma (B) Plasmalemma (C) Sarcolemma (D) Myolemma​

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) Neurilemma

Explanation:

• Each bundle of nerve fibers is called a fasciculus and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perineurium.
• Within the fasciculus, each individual nerve fiber, with its myelin and neurilemma, is surrounded by connective tissue called the endoneurium.
• The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibers called axons, which are the long thin projections that extend from the main body of a nerve cell or neuron. This sheath is composed of protein and lipids.
