Chapter 9 - Muscular System Three Types of Muscle Tissues Skeletal Muscle • usually attached to bones • under conscious control • striated
Cardiac Muscle • wall of heart • not under Smooth Muscle conscious • walls of most viscera, control blood vessels, skin • striated • not under conscious control • not striated
Structu re o f a S keletal Musc le Skeletal Muscle • organ of the muscular system • skeletal muscle tissue • nervous tissue • blood • connective tissues • fascia • tendon • aponeuroses
Structu re o f a S keletal Musc le • epimysium • perimysium • fascicle • endomysium • muscle • fascicles • muscle fibers • myofibrils • thick and thin filaments
Sk elet al M uscle Fi ber • sarcolemma • sacroplasm • sarcoplasmic reticulum • transverse tubule • triad • cisterna of sarcoplasmic reticulum • transverse tubule
• myofibril • actin filaments • myosin filaments • sarcomere
Structu re o f a S keletal Musc le
Sa rcomer e
• I band • A band • H zone • Z line • M line
Myofila men ts Thick Filaments • composed of myosin • cross-bridges
Thin Filaments • composed of actin • associated with troponin and tropomyosin
Neu ro mu sc ular J unction • site where axon and muscle fiber communicate • motor neuron • motor end plate • synaptic cleft • synaptic vesicles • neurotransmitters
Mo tor U nit • single motor neuron • all muscle fibers controlled by motor neuron
St imu lu s for Con tra ct io n
• acetylcholine (ACh) • nerve impulse causes release of acetylcholine from synaptic vesicles • binds to acetylcholine receptors on motor end plate • generates a muscle impulse • muscle impulse eventually reaches sarcoplasmic reticulum
Exci tati on Co ntra ction C ou pli ng
• muscle impulses cause sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions into cytosol • calcium binds to troponin to change its shape • position of tropomyosin is altered • binding sites on actin exposed • actin and myosin bind 9-11
Slid in g Fila men t Th eory • When sarcromeres shorten, thick and thin filaments slide past one another • H zones and I bands get narrower • Z lines move closer together
Cros s-b rid ge Cy clin g • actin and myosin cross-bridge bind • myosin crossbridge pulls actin •ADP and phosphate released from myosin • new ATP binds to myosin • linkage between actin and myosin cross-bridge break •ATP splits •myosin cross-bridge goes back to original position
Rela xation • acetylcholinesterase – breaks down acetylcholine • muscle impulse stops • calcium moves back into sarcoplasmic reticulum • myosin and actin binding prevented
Energy So urces fo r Co ntra cti on 1) Creatine phosphate
2) Cellular respiration
• creatine phosphate – stores energy that quickly converts ADP to ATP
Oxyg en S uppl y a nd Cellula r R esp ir ati on • Anaerobic Phase • glycolysis • produces little ATP
• Aerobic Phase • citric acid cycle • electron transport chain • produces most ATP • myoglobin stores extra oxygen
Oxygen Debt Oxygen debt – amount of oxygen needed by liver to convert lactic acid to glucose • oxygen not available • glycolysis continues • pyruvic acid converted to lactic acid • liver converts lactic acid to glucose
Muscle Fa tig ue • inability to contract • commonly caused from • decreased blood flow • ion imbalances • accumulation of lactic acid • cramp – sustained, involuntary contraction
Hea t P rod uct ion
• by-product
of cellular respiration • muscle cells are major source of body heat • blood transports heat throughout body
Muscu la r R es pon ses Threshold Stimulus • minimal strength required to cause contraction Recording a Muscle Contraction • twitch • latent period • period of contraction • period of relaxation • refractory period • all-or-none response
Su mma tion • process by which individual twitches combine • produces sustained contractions • can lead to tetanic contractions
Recr uitm ent of Moto r Un its
• recruitment - increase in the number of motor units activated • whole muscle composed of many motor units • as intensity of stimulation increases, recruitment of motor units continues until all motor units are activated
Su stain ed Con tract ion s
• smaller motor units recruited first • larger motor units recruited later • produces smooth movements • muscle tone – continuous state of partial contraction
Ty pes of Co ntract ion s • isotonic – muscle contracts and changes length • eccentric – lengthening contraction
• concentric – shortening contraction • isometric – muscle contracts but does not change length
Fa st a nd Sl ow Twitc h Musc le Fi bers
Slow-twitch fibers (type I) • always oxidative • resistant to fatigue • red fibers • most myoglobin • good blood supply Fast-twitch glycolytic fibers (type II) • white fibers (less myoglobin) • poorer blood supply • susceptible to fatigue
Fast-twitch fatigueresistant fibers (type IIb) • intermediate fibers • oxidative • intermediate amount of myoglobin • pink to red in color
Smoot h M uscle F ibers Compared to skeletal muscle fibers • shorter • single nucleus • elongated with tapering ends • myofilaments randomly organized • no striations • lack transverse tubules • sarcoplasmic reticula not well developed
Types of Smoot h M uscle Visceral Smooth Muscle • single-unit smooth muscle • sheets of muscle fibers • fibers held together by gap junctions • exhibit rhythmicity • exhibit peristalsis • walls of most hollow organs
Multiunit Smooth Muscle • fibers function separately • irises of eye • walls of blood vessels
Smooth Mu scl e Co ntra cti on • Resembles skeletal muscle contraction • interaction between actin and myosin • both use calcium and ATP • both depend on impulses • Different from skeletal muscle contraction • smooth muscle lacks troponin • smooth muscle depends on calmodulin • two neurotransmitters affect smooth muscle • acetlycholine and norepinephrine • hormones affect smooth muscle • stretching can trigger smooth muscle contraction • smooth muscle slower to contract and relax • smooth muscle more resistant to fatigue
Card ia c M uscle • only in the heart • muscle fibers joined together by intercalated discs • fibers branch • network of fibers contracts as a unit • self-exciting and rhythmic • longer refractory period than skeletal muscle
Sk elet al M uscle Act ion s • origin – immovable end • insertion – movable end • prime mover (agonist) – primarily responsible for movement • synergists – assist prime mover • antagonist – resist prime mover’s action and cause movement in the opposite direction 9-30

Clin ic al App lica tion Myasthenia Gravis • autoimmune disorder • receptors for acetylcholine on muscle cells are attacked • weak and easily fatigued muscles result • difficulty swallowing and chewing • ventilator needed if respiratory muscles are affected • treatments include • drugs that boost acetylcholine • removing thymus gland • immunosuppressant drugs • antibodies
