Chapter 7 - muscles • Almost all movements result from muscle contraction • Click here for link to muscle system: • http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookMUSSKEL.html#Skeletal%20Muscle%20Systems • Characteristics of skeletal muscle: striated, voluntary • Four major functional characteristics: • Contractiity • Excitability • Extensibility • Elasticity
Structure of skeletal muscles • Fascia • Epimesium • Muscle fasiculi • Muscle fibers • Endomysium • perimysium
Muscle structure – cont’d • Sarcoplasm • Myofibril • Actin myofilaments • Myosin myofilaments • Sarcomeres • Sarcolemma • http://www.brookscole.com/chemistry_d/templates/student_resources/shared_resources/animations/muscles/muscles.html
Membrane potentials • Resting membrane potential – potassium ion concentration • Depolarization • Repolarization • Action potential • Sodium/potassium pump
Nerve supply • Motor neurons, neuromuscular junction, motor unit • Neurotransmitters – acetylcholine • Muscle contraction – sliding filament mechanism • See diagram pg. 160
Muscle twitch • Muscle twitch – contraction of an entire muscle – threshold level – all or none response • Tetanus • recruitment
Energy requirements for muscle contraction • ATP/ADP • Creatine phosphate • Aerobic vs. anaerobic respiration • Oxygen debt • Muscle fatigue • Physiological contracture
Types of muscle contractions • Isometric contractions • Isotonic contractions • Muscle tone • Slow twitch fibers • Fast twitch fibers
Skeletal muscle anatomy • Tendon • Aponeuroses • Origin • Insertion • Action • Belly • Synergists/antagonists • Prime mover/fixator
Diagrams • In addition to the notes for this chapter, you need to know the following diagrams, origins, insertions and actions: (see forwarded list) • Practice quiz: • http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072919329/student_view0/chapter9/multiple_choice_quiz.html
