Solution

The correct option is B Sarcolemma
  • Cells of the nervous system are called nerve cells or neurons.
  • Neurons have specialized cell parts known as the cell body or cyton, dendrites and axons.
  • A thin sheath covers the axon of the nerve cell. This sheath is called neurolemma.
  • The sarcolemma is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber cell. It is not present in the nerve cell.
Hence, the correct option is B.
