Personal Fitness 10 Musculoskeletal System Notes HCS1050
Skeletal System Functions • Support soft tissues & provide attachment sites for muscles • Movement at joints when muscles are contracted • Protects organs (e.g., skull encases brain) • Stores calcium, phosphorous, fat, sodium & other minerals • Production of blood cells
Bones • Continuously being remodeled via osteoclasts & osteoblasts • Osteoclasts break down bone • Osteoblasts build bone “When bone is subjected to stress, more tissue is created (bone density increases)”
Joints of the body & Planes of Movement • Fibrous Joints • Cartilaginous Joints • Synovial Joints • Joint movement occurs within 3 planes of motion • Sagittal • Frontal • Transverse
Proprioception • The sense of knowing where the body is in relation to its various segments and the external environment. • Receptors in the skin, in and around the joints and muscles, and in the inner ear transmit the information
Types of Muscles • Skeletal • Attaches to the skeleton via tendons, contracts to move bones • Voluntary • Striated appearance • Smooth • Found on walls of hollow organs (stomach, blood vessels) • Involuntary & smooth • Cardiac • Forms the walls of the heart • Involuntary & smooth
Skeletal Muscle Fiber Types (Slow Twitch) • Slow-twitch muscle fibers • Also called Oxidative or Type 1 muscle fibers • Contract more slowly • Have lower force outputs • More efficient • More fatigue resistance
Fast Twitch Muscle Fibers • Two types of Fast-twitch muscle fibers • Fast-oxidative glycolytic (Type IIa) fibers • Possess speed, fatigue and force production somewhere between Type I and Type IIx • For this reason, type IIa are also called intermediate fibers • Fast-glycolytic (Type IIx) fibers • Limited capacity for aerobic metabolism • Fatigue the fastest of the 3 types • Considerable anaerobic capacity • Largest and fastest • Capable of producing the most force of all skeletal muscle fiber types
Two Muscle Proteins & Connective Tissue • Actin • Thin myofilament muscle protein • Myosin • Thick myofilament muscle protein • Connective Tissue • Tendons connect muscle to bone • Ligaments connect bone to bone
Muscle Fiber Microanatomy • Skeletal muscle are made up of many muscle fibers • Muscle fibers are made up of myofibrils (protein filaments) composed of a series of repeating segments called sarcomeres • Sarcomeres, made up of thick (myosin) and thin (actin) myofilaments, are the functional contracting unit of skeletal muscle
Sliding Filament Theory of Muscle Contraction • Acetylcholine is released from the CNS • Once detected, calcium is released • Calcium exposes binding sites along the actin for the myosin to attach to • Cross bridges are formed & the myosin pulls the actin toward the center thereby shortening the sarcomere and the muscle fiber itself • If multiple muscle fibers are stimulated to contract at the same time, the muscle will try to actively shorten by contracting
Factors that Impact Flexibility • Soft tissues contribute to the total resistance of joints as follows (we can impact these by stretching): • Joint capsule: 47% • Muscle fascia: 41% • Tendons: 10% • Skin: 2% • Other factors that impact flexibility include (we can minimize these by working on flexibility): • Age • Gender • Joint structure and past injury
