Presentation Transcript

  1. Muscle Physiology Human Anatomy and Physiology II Oklahoma City Community College Dennis Anderson

  2. Muscle Tissue • Skeletal Muscle • Cardiac Muscle • Smooth Muscle

  3. Skeletal Muscle • Long cylindrical cells • Many nuclei per cell • Striated • Voluntary • Rapid contractions

  4. Cardiac Muscle • Branching cells • One or two nuclei per cell • Striated • Involuntary • Medium speed contractions

  5. Smooth Muscle • Fusiform cells • One nucleus per cell • Nonstriated • Involuntary • Slow, wave-like contractions

  6. Microanatomy of Skeletal Muscle

  7. Z line Z line

  8. H Band

  9. Sarcomere Relaxed

  10. Sarcomere Partially Contracted

  11. Sarcomere Completely Contracted

  12. Tropomyosin Binding Site Troponin

  13. Myosin

  14. Neuromuscular Junction

  15. Acetylcholine Opens Na+ Channel

  16. Muscle Contraction Summary • Nerve impulse reaches myoneural junction • Acetylcholine is released from motor neuron • Ach binds with receptors in the muscle membrane to allow sodium to enter • Sodium influx will generate an action potential in the sarcolemma

  17. Muscle Contraction Continued • Action potential travels down T tubule • Sarcoplamic reticulum releases calcium • Calcium binds with troponin to move the troponin, tropomyosin complex • Binding sites in the actin filament are exposed

  18. Muscle Contraction Continued • Myosin head attach to binding sites and create a power stroke • ATP detaches myosin heads and energizes them for another contaction • When action potentials cease the muscle stop contracting

  19. Motor UnitAll the muscle cells controlled by one nerve cell

  20. Motor Unit Ratios • Back muscles • 1:100 • Finger muscles • 1:10 • Eye muscles • 1:1

  21. ATP

  22. Creatine + ATP Creatine phosphate + ADP Creatine • Molecule capable of storing ATP energy

  23. Creatine + ATP Creatine Phosphate • Molecule with stored ATP energy Creatine phosphate+ ADP

  24. Muscle Fatique • Lack of oxygen causes ATP deficit • Lactic acid builds up from anaerobic respiration

  25. Muscle Atrophy • Weakening and shrinking of a muscle • May be caused • Immobilization • Loss of neural stimulation

  26. Muscle Hypertrophy • Enlargement of a muscle • More capillaries • More mitochondria • Caused by • Strenuous exercise • Steroid hormones

  27. Steroid Hormones • Stimulate muscle growth and hypertrophy

  28. Muscle Tonus • Tightness of a muscle • Some fibers always contracted

  29. Tetany • Sustained contraction of a muscle • Result of a rapid succession of nerve impulses

  30. Tetanus

  31. Refractory Period • Brief period of time in which muscle cells will not respond to a stimulus

  32. Refractory

  33. Refractory Periods Skeletal Muscle Cardiac Muscle

  34. Isometric Contraction • Produces no movement • Used in • Standing • Sitting • Posture

  35. Isotonic Contraction • Produces movement • Used in • Walking • Moving any part of the body

  36. THE END
