  • Overview of Muscle Tissue
  • Muscles are responsible for all types of body movement
  • Three basic muscle types are found in the body
  • Skeletal muscle
  • Cardiac muscle
  • Smooth muscle
  • Muscle Types
  • Skeletal and smooth muscle cells are elongated (muscle cell = muscle fiber)
  • Contraction of muscles is due to the movement of microfilaments
  • All muscles share some terminology
  • Prefixes myo and mys refer to “muscle”
  • Prefix sarco refers to “flesh”
  • Comparison of Skeletal, Cardiac, �and Smooth Muscles
  • Skeletal Muscle Characteristics
  • Most are attached by tendons to bones
  • Cells are multinucleate
  • Striated—have visible banding
  • Voluntary—subject to conscious control
  • Connective Tissue Wrappings of Skeletal Muscle
  • Cells are surrounded and bundled by connective tissue
  • Endomysium—encloses a single muscle fiber
  • Perimysium—wraps around a fascicle (bundle) of muscle fibers
  • Epimysium—covers the entire skeletal muscle
  • Fascia—on the outside of the epimysium

Skeletal Muscle Attachments

  • Epimysium blends into a connective tissue attachment
  • Tendons—cord-like structures
  • Mostly collagen fibers
  • Often cross a joint due to toughness and small size
  • Aponeuroses—sheet-like structures
  • Attach muscles indirectly to bones, cartilages, or connective tissue coverings
  • Sites of muscle attachment
  • Connective tissue coverings

Smooth Muscle Characteristics

  • Lacks striations
  • Spindle-shaped cells
  • Single nucleus
  • Involuntary—no conscious control
  • Found mainly in the walls of hollow organs

Figure 6.2a

  • Cardiac Muscle Characteristics
  • Usually has a single nucleus
  • Branching cells
  • Joined to another muscle cell at an intercalated disc
  • Involuntary
  • Found only in the heart
  • Skeletal Muscle Functions
  • Produce movement
  • Maintain posture
  • Stabilize joints
  • Generate heat

Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle

  • Sarcolemma—specialized plasma membrane
  • Myofibrils—long organelles inside muscle cell
  • Sarcoplasmic reticulum—specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum
  • Myofibrils are aligned to give distinct bands
  • I band = light band
  • Contains only thin filaments (actin)
  • A band = dark band
  • Contains the entire length of the thick filaments (myosin)
  • Sarcomere—contractile unit of a muscle fiber
  • Organization of the sarcomere
  • Myofilaments
  • Thick filaments = myosin filaments
  • Thin filaments = actin filaments
  • Composed of the protein myosin
  • Has ATPase enzymes
  • Myosin filaments have heads (extensions, or cross bridges)
  • Myosin and actin overlap somewhat
  • Composed of the protein actin
  • Anchored to the Z disc
  • At rest, there is a bare zone that lacks actin filaments called the H zone
  • Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)
  • Stores and releases calcium
  • Surrounds the myofibril
  • Skeletal Muscle Activity

Stimulation and Contraction of Single Skeletal Muscle Cells

  • Excitability (also called responsiveness or irritability)—ability to receive and respond to a stimulus
  • Contractility—ability to shorten when an adequate stimulus is received
  • Extensibility—ability of muscle cells to be stretched
  • Elasticity—ability to recoil and resume resting length after stretching

The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potential

  • Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by a motor neuron (nerve cell) to contract
  • Motor unit—one motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle cells stimulated by that neuron

Figure 6.4b

  • Neuromuscular junction
  • Association site of axon terminal of the motor neuron and muscle
  • Synaptic cleft
  • Gap between nerve and muscle
  • Nerve and muscle do not make contact
  • Area between nerve and muscle is filled with interstitial fluid

Transmission of Nerve Impulse to Muscle

  • Neurotransmitter—chemical released by nerve upon arrival of nerve impulse
  • The neurotransmitter for skeletal muscle is acetylcholine (ACh)
  • Acetylcholine attaches to receptors on the sarcolemma
  • Sarcolemma becomes permeable to sodium (Na+)
  • Sodium rushes into the cell generating an action potential
  • Once started, muscle contraction cannot be stopped
  • The Sliding Filament Theory �of Muscle Contraction
  • Activation by nerve causes myosin heads (cross bridges) to attach to binding sites on the thin filament
  • Myosin heads then bind to the next site of the thin filament and pull them toward the center of the sarcomere
  • This continued action causes a sliding of the myosin along the actin
  • The result is that the muscle is shortened (contracted)

The Sliding Filament Theory of �Muscle Contraction

Figure 6.7a–b

The Sliding Filament Theory

Figure 6.8a

Figure 6.8b

Figure 6.8c

  • Contraction of Skeletal Muscle as a Whole
  • Muscle fiber contraction is “all or none”
  • Within a skeletal muscle, not all fibers may be stimulated during the same interval
  • Different combinations of muscle fiber contractions may give differing responses
  • Graded responses—different degrees of skeletal muscle shortening

Contraction of Skeletal Muscle

  • Graded responses can be produced by changing…
  • The frequency of muscle stimulation
  • The number of muscle cells being stimulated at one time

Types of Graded Responses

  • Single, brief contraction
  • Not a normal muscle function
  • Tetanus (summing of contractions)
  • One contraction is immediately followed by another
  • The muscle does not completely �return to a resting state
  • The effects are added
  • Unfused (incomplete) tetanus
  • Some relaxation occurs between contractions
  • The results are summed
  • Fused (complete) tetanus
  • No evidence of relaxation before the following contractions
  • The result is a smooth, sustained muscle contraction
  • Muscle Response to Strong Stimuli
  • Muscle force depends upon the number of fibers stimulated
  • More fibers stimulation results in stronger muscle contraction
  • Muscles can continue to contract unless they run out of energy

Energy for Muscle Contraction

  • Initially, muscles use stored ATP for energy
  • ATP bonds are broken to release energy
  • Only 4–6 seconds worth of ATP is stored by muscles
  • After this initial time, other pathways must be utilized to produce ATP
  • Direct phosphorylation of ADP by creatine phosphate (CP)
  • Muscle cells store CP
  • CP is a high-energy molecule
  • After ATP is depleted, ADP is left
  • CP transfers high-energy phosphate to ADP, to regenerate ATP
  • CP supplies are exhausted in less than 15 seconds
  • Aerobic respiration
  • Occurs at rest and during light to moderate exercise
  • A series of metabolic pathways occur in the mitochondria & uses oxygen
  • Glucose is broken down to carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy (36 ATP)
  • Slow process requiring continuous O 2 & nutrient fuels
  • Anaerobic glycolysis and lactic acid formation
  • Reaction that breaks down glucose without oxygen
  • Occurs in cytosol
  • Glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid to produce 2 ATP
  • Pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid
  • This reaction is not as efficient but is fast
  • 30-60 sec of activity
  • Huge amounts of glucose are needed
  • Lactic acid produces muscle fatigue
  • Muscle Fatigue and Oxygen Deficit
  • When a muscle is fatigued, it is unable to contract even with a stimulus
  • Common cause for muscle fatigue is oxygen debt
  • Oxygen must be “repaid” to tissue to remove oxygen deficit
  • Oxygen is required to get rid of accumulated lactic acid, and make ATP and CP reserves
  • Increasing acidity (from lactic acid) and lack of ATP causes the muscle to contract less
  • Types of Muscle Contractions
  • Isotonic contractions (same tone/tension)
  • Myofilaments are able to slide past each other during contractions
  • The muscle shortens and movement occurs
  • Isometric contractions (same measurement/length)
  • Tension in the muscles increases
  • The muscle is unable to shorten or produce movement
  • Muscle Tone
  • Some fibers are contracted even in a relaxed muscle
  • Different fibers contract at different times to provide muscle tone
  • The process of stimulating various fibers is under involuntary control
  • Homeostatic imbalance:
  • Loss of tone/paralysis
  • Caused by nerve damage; muscle is no longer stimulated
  • Results in flaccid (soft/flabby) muscle
  • Atrophy will begin (waste away)

Effect of Exercise on Muscles

  • Exercise increases muscle size, strength, and endurance
  • Aerobic (endurance) exercise (biking, jogging) results in stronger, more flexible muscles with greater resistance to fatigue
  • Increases blood supply, increase in number of mitochondria, & ability to store O 2
  • Makes body metabolism more efficient
  • Improves digestion, coordination, skeleton strength, heart & lung efficiency
  • No significant increase in muscle size
  • Resistance (isometric) exercise (weight lifting) increases muscle size and strength
  • Enlargement of individual muscle cells (make more filaments)
  • Increase in amount of connective tissue

Figure 6.11

Five Golden Rules of Skeletal Muscle Activity

  • Muscle Movements, Types and Names
  • Movement is attained due to a muscle moving an attached bone
  • Muscles are attached to at least two points
  • Origin: Attachment to an immoveable bone
  • Insertion: Attachment to a movable bone
  • Common Body Movements
  • Decreases the angle of the joint
  • Brings two bones closer together
  • Typical of hinge joints like knee and elbow
  • Opposite of flexion
  • Increases angle between two bones

Types of Ordinary Body Movements

  • Movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis
  • Common in ball-and-socket joints
  • Example is when you move atlas around the dens of axis (shake your head “no”)
  • Movement of a limb away from the midline
  • Opposite of abduction
  • Movement of a limb toward the midline
  • Circumduction
  • Combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction

Special Movements

  • Dorsiflexion
  • Lifting the foot so that the superior surface approaches the shin
  • Plantar flexion
  • Depressing the foot (pointing the toes)
  • Turn sole of foot medially
  • Turn sole of foot laterally
  • Forearm rotates laterally so palm faces anteriorly
  • Forearm rotates medially so palm faces posteriorly
  • Move thumb to touch the tips of other fingers on the same hand
  • Interactions of Skeletal Muscles in the Body
  • Prime mover—muscle with the major responsibility for a certain movement
  • Example: biceps brachii
  • Antagonist—muscle that opposes or reverses a prime mover
  • Triceps brachii
  • Synergist—muscle that aids a prime mover in a movement and helps prevent rotation
  • Wrist muscles when you make a fist
  • Fixator—stabilizes the origin of a prime mover
  • Muscles anchoring to scapulae and thorax for posture

Naming Skeletal Muscles

  • By direction of muscle fibers
  • Example: Rectus (straight)
  • By relative size of the muscle
  • Example: Maximus (largest)
  • By location of the muscle
  • Example: Temporalis (temporal bone)
  • By number of origins
  • Example: Triceps (three heads)
  • By location of the muscle’s origin and insertion
  • Example: sternocleidomastoid (sternum, clavicle, mastoid process)
  • By shape of the muscle
  • Example: Deltoid (triangular)
  • By action of the muscle
  • Example: Flexor and extensor (flexes or extends a bone)
  • Arrangement of Fascicles

Developmental Aspects of the Muscular System

  • Fetal Development
  • Muscle tissue laid down in segments (like earthworm)
  • Each segment invaded by nerves
  • First fetal movements (felt by mom) occur by 16 weeks
  • Infant/Toddler Development
  • Muscle control develops along with nervous system
  • Moves in a cephalic/caudal and proximal/distal direction
  • Gross movements 1 st , fine movements 2 nd
  • Midadolescence
  • Peak level of development of natural control
  • Athletic training creates optimal precision
  • Increased amount of connective tissue
  • Decreased amount of muscle tissue (stringy)
  • Decreased body weight
  • Decreased muscle strength (by ~50% at 80 years of age)
  • Can be delayed with regular exercise

Homeostatic imbalance

  • Muscular Dystrophy: group of inherited muscle-destroying diseases affecting specific muscle groups
  • Muscles enlarge (fat & connective tissue deposits), but muscle fibers degenerate and atrophy (AKA pseudohypertrophic)
  • Dystrophin (muscle protein) is lacking; helps maintain the sarcolemma
  • No cure; but gene therapy trials are showing promise in mice

Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy

  • Most common & most serious
  • Usually affects boys (X-linked recessive); females usually carriers vs. diseased
  • Diagnosed between 2-7 years of age
  • Begins in extremities and works superiorly
  • Usually fatal by their 20’s due to respiratory failure

Posture changes during progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

  • Myasthenia gravis (muscle + weakness + heavy): generalized muscle weakness and fatigability in adulthood
  • Drooping eyelids, difficulty in swallowing and talking
  • Shortage of ACh receptors @ NMJ
  • Probably an autoimmune disease b/c those affected have antibodies to ACh receptors
  • ACh receptors appear damaged/diseased with progression of disease
  • Muscles weaken due to lack of stimulation
  • Death occurs due to respiratory failure

Muscular and Skeletal System Powerpoint #2 Unit 8 – Chapters 35/36 Working together to create movement

Skeletal System Structures: • Bones • Cartilage • Ligaments • Tendons

Skeletal System Function: • Supports body • Protects internal organs • Allows for movement • Stores mineral reserves • Provides a site for blood cell formation

How many bones in a human Skeleton? • 206 • How many in babies? ~ 300 • What are bones? • A solid network of living cells and protein fibers that are surrounded by deposits of calcium salts

Bones: 3 Parts • Spongy bone • Not soft or spongy • Very strong • Structure resembles the supporting structure of bridges. • Strong but lightweight

Compact bone: • Very dense (no spaces like spongy bone) • Outer portion of bone • Contains Haversian canal for veins and arteries to run through

Haversian Canals

Bone Marrow: • Soft tissue • Found in bone cavities • Yellow Marrow: fat cells • Red marrow: • makes red blood cells, platelets and most white blood cells • ~1/2 red marrow turns into yellow in adults • If severe blood loss, some yellow can turn back to red

Development of bone: • Cartilage: Tough, elastic, connective tissue • Found in: ears, between bones, larynx, and other various places.

Development of Bone • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78RBpWSOl08 • Ossification: cartilage replaced by bone • Osteoblasts:cells that build bone • Osteoclasts:cells that break down bone • growth Plates: found in most long bones (leg and arm bones) cartilage continues to grow here until completely replaced by bone during adolescence

Types of Joints • Ball and socket

Types of Joints • Hinge

Types of Joints • Saddle

Types of Joints • Pivot

Structure of Joints • Ligaments: Connect Bone to Bone

Muscle Structure and Function

Skeletal muscle Cardiac muscle Smooth muscle Types of Muscle • The human body is comprised of 324 muscles • Muscle makes up 30-35% (in women) and 42-47% (in men) of body mass. Three types of muscle:

A. Skeletal (Striated) Muscle • Connects the various parts of the skeleton through one or more connective tissue tendons • During muscle contraction, skeletal muscle shortens and moves various parts of the skeleton • Activated through signals carried to the muscles via nerves voluntary control • Repeated activation of a skeletal muscle can lead to fatigue • Can have many nuclei

Skeletal Muscles work in PAIRSBending or straightening of elbow requires the coordinated interplay of the biceps and triceps muscles

B. Smooth Muscle • Located in the blood vessels, the respiratory tract, the iris of the eye, the gastro-intestinal tract • The contractions are slow and uniform • Is fatigue resistant • Activation is involuntary • Has one nucleus

C. Cardiac Muscle • Has characteristics of both skeletal and smooth muscle • Functions to provide the contractile activity of the heart • Is very fatigue resistant • Activation of cardiac muscle is involuntary (like smooth muscle) • Can have 2 nuclei, usually has 1

Components of skeletal muscle myofibril muscle fiber muscle fiber bundle

Muscle Fibers • Cylinder-shaped cells that make up skeletal muscle • Each myofibril is made up of a number of myofilaments • Diameterof fiber(0.05-0.10 mm) Lengthof fiber(appr. 15 cm) • Each fibercontains contractile machinery and cell organelles • Group of fiberactivated via same nerve: motor unit • Each fiberhas capillaries that supply nutrients and eliminate waste • Divided into functional units called sarcomeres

High microscope magnification of sarcomereswithin a myofibril

Muscle Contraction • Organized in series (attached end to end) • Two types of protein myofilaments: - Actin:thin filament - Myosin: thick filament • Projecting from each myosin are tiny contractile myosin bridges

Muscle Contraction • During muscle contraction the myofilaments myosin and actin slide toward each other and overlap. This shortens the sacromere and the entire muscle. Muscle cells are "shocked" by nerve impulses from motor neurons.

(a) At rest Muscle Contraction The filaments slide together because myosin attaches to actinand pulls on it. Myosin head (H) attaches to actin filament (A), forming a cross bridge. After the cross bridge is formed the myosin head bends, pulling on the actin filaments and causing them to slide: Muscle contraction is a little like climbing a rope. The cross bridge cycle is: grab -> pull -> release, repeated over and over b) Contraction

Tendons • Connect Muscle to Bone
