1891 Internat. Monatsschrift f. Anat. u. Physiol. VIII. 229 The optical effect produced by the enlarging sarcoplasmic accumulations will involve more and more of the segment.
1902 Encycl. Brit. XXXI. 733/1 The muscle-cells of the ventricles are thicker, less sarcoplasmic, and more clearly striated than the auricular muscle.
1948 Jrnl. Neurol., Neurosurg. & Psychiatry 11 78/1 The dense areas showed an accumulation of pale oval sarcoplasmic nuclei.
1953 Bennett & Porter in Amer. Jrnl. Anat. XCIII. 69 The disposition of the larger masses of this sarcoplasmic reticulum is interpreted as evidencing an arrangement entirely analogous to the cross-fiber reticulum of Thin (1876), Melland (1885)..and others.
1970 T. S. Leeson & C. R. Leeson Histol. (ed. 2) ix. 164/2 Sarcoplasmic reticulum corresponds to the endoplasmic reticulum of other cell types, but its membranes are not associated with ribosomes. The sarcoplasmic reticulum comprises an extensive, continuous system of membrane-limited sarcotubules enclosing each myofibril as in a net.
1970 Nature 31 Oct. 417/2 The group of muscle fibres in the centre of the section show sarcoplasmic basophilia.
