Sarcoplasmic reticulum is very abundant in skeletal muscle cells and is closely associated with the MYOFIBRILS (and, therefore, the MYOFILAMENTS).
Are sarcoplasmic reticulum present in skeletal muscle?
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is not as well developed in cardiac muscle as in skeletal muscle. At the Z line, a T tubule, formed by an invagination of the sarcolemma, extends into the myocytes and makes contact with the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The area is termed a diad.

What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum in a skeletal muscle?
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the membrane-bound calcium store of skeletal muscle, controls the contraction-relaxation cycle by raising and lowering the myoplasmic free calcium concentration, and consists of two continuous yet distinct regions, the free or non-junctional SR and the junctional SR, i.e., the area of ...
