An inner membrane or sheath; particularly, the innermost layer of connective tissue surrounding muscle fibers.
From endo- (within) + lemma (husk, sheath, from Greek). This anatomical term identifies the internal membranes that encase muscle structures.
Your muscles are like onions with many layers, and the endolemma is one of the innermost protective sheaths—without it, your muscle cells would fall apart!
