This text discusses the different types of muscle tissue (skeletal, smooth, and cardiac) and their functions and characteristics. It also covers topics such as muscle anatomy, muscle contractions, energy sources for muscle contraction, and the effects of exercise on muscle health. Additionally, it explores muscle disorders and different types of contractions.

Muscle Tissue Ch 10
Muscular Tissues Skeletal– striated, multinucleate, voluntary, 10-100 m Smooth-found in walls of hollow visceral organs; ex. stomach, bladder, respiratory passages; visceral, nonstriated, involuntary; discuss peristalsis Cardiac–in heart only, striated, involuntary, intercalcated disks
Muscle function: • produce movement • maintain posture • stabilize joints • generate heat • move substances within the body • Functional Characteristics: • Excitability- respond to a stimulus • Contractility- ability to shorten forcibly when • adequately stimulated • Extensibility- the ability to be stretched • Elasticity- the ability of a muscle fiber to resume • its resting length after being stretched

Energy for muscle contraction: • ATP is the only energy source ATP(ATPase + H2O) ADP + Pi • ATP is Generated by: • creatine phosphate • ADP + creatine phosphatecreatine + ATP • 2. lactic acid fermentation • From stored glycogen via anaerobic glycolysis; • glucosepyruvic acid (no O2) lactic acid • O2 • 3. aerobic respiration • KrebsCO2 + H2O + ATP
Fast glycolitic:white muscle fibers, low myoglobin, anaerobic glycolysis, few mitochondria, fast twitch fibers, high glycogen stores, short bursts, fatigues easily Slow oxidative:red muscle, aerobic, high myoglobin, low glycogen stores, lots mitochondria, slow, tonic, long distance Fast oxidative:red pink, aerobic, fast, high myoglobin, intermediate amt. of mitochondria, intermediate glycogen, intermediate fatigue resistance Ratio- red:white (all 3 types in body) Ex. fish- long distance blue fin tuna- mostly red meat quick bursts- yellow tail- more white meat
Long distance Runner- aerobic respiration Sprinter- anaerobic respiration
Effects of Exercise • Hypertrophy- excessive enlargement of muscle tissue • Atrophy- disuse • Muscles must be physically active if they are to remain healthy • Cast- muscle strength can decrease at a rate of 5%/ day; can use e- stimulus • Avoid muscle injuries: • warm up muscles- walk fast 5 minutes • then stretch- avoids pulls and tares
Steroids • Anabolic steroids • similar to testosterone • large doses required for good effect • Side effects: • overall - kidney and heart damage, aggressiveness • females - sterility, facial hair, breast & uterine atrophy • males - baldness, atrophy of testis
Muscle Disorders • cramp- sustained spasm or tetanic contraction; may be due to low blood sugar levels, electrolyte depletion, dehydration • how to care for cramp: RICE • strain- muscle pull • spasm- tics • hernia- protrusion of organ through body cavity wall may be due to heavy wts.
Isotonic and Isometric Contractions • Isotonic contraction • Contraction with a change in length • The muscle shortens and movement occurs. • Isometric contraction • Contraction without any change in length • The muscle does not shorten and there is no movement produced even though the muscle contracts.
