  1. Musculo-Skeletal Anatomy Making the body move!

  2. Goals • Important muscle groups to know • Review muscle functions, types, and general anatomy • In-depth look at skeletal muscle: • Connective tissue covering • Skeletal muscle fibers • Neuromuscular junction

  3. Three types of muscle • Skeletal • Cardiac • Smooth

  4. The Anterior (see handout) Anterior = “Front”

  5. The Posterior (See handout) Posterior = “back”

  6. Functions of Muscle • Producing movement. • Maintaining posture. • Stabilizing joints. • Generating heat.

  7. Characteristics of Muscles (some review, some *new*!) • Muscle cells are elongated (*muscle cell = muscle fiber) • *Contraction of muscles is due to the movement of microfilaments • *All muscles share some terminology • Prefix myo refers to muscle • Prefix mys refers to muscle • Prefix sarco refers to flesh

  8. Skeletal Muscle Characteristics • *Most are attached by tendons to bones • Cells have many nuclei • Striated – have visible banding • Voluntary – subject to conscious control • *Cells are surrounded by and bundled by connective tissue

  9. Skeletal Muscle • Striated, long, cylindrical, multi-nucleated. • Attached to bones • Voluntarily controlled • * Range of contractile speed

  10. Cardiac Muscle • Striated, one nucleus, branching chains of cells, intercalated discs (= dark bands) • Found only in the heart. • Involuntary contraction. • *Slow speed of contraction. • *Rhythmic contraction.

  11. Smooth Muscle • One nucleus, no striations. • *Found along the walls of blood vessels and digestive canals. • Involuntary contraction. • *Very slow contraction.

  12. Skeletal Muscle Attachments • What structures do muscles attach to? • Bones • Cartilages • **extensions of connective tissue coverings

  13. Connective tissue coverings • Layers of connective tissue enclose and separate all parts of a skeletal muscle • Fascia • Epimysium • Perimysium • Endomysium Friends Enjoy Protecting Each other

  14. Fascia • layers of connective tissue that separate individual skeletal muscles from each other • hold muscles in position • May extend beyond muscle to form: • Tendon – cord-like structure • Aponeuroses – sheet-like structure

  15. Connective Tissue Wrappings of Skeletal Muscle • Fascia – on the outside of the epimysium • Epimysium – covers the entire skeletal muscle Figure 6.1

  16. Connective Tissue Wrappings of Skeletal Muscle • Perimysium – around a fascicle (bundle) of fibers • Endomysium – around single muscle fiber Figure 6.1

  17. How does the structure of the coverings arrangement allow the muscles to function? • Structure: layers of connective tissue enclose and separate all parts of a skeletal muscle • Function: • allows parts to move somewhat independently • Blood vessels and nerves pass through the layers  allows for blood/nutrient supply and stimulation

  18. Review • Produce movement • Maintain posture • Stabilize joints • Generate heat • Connective tissue coverings ?

  19. Overall structure of muscle • Muscle • Fascicles (bundles) • Muscle fibers (cells) • Myofibrils • Thick and thin filaments

  20. Muscle fibers • Definition: single cell that contracts in response to stimulation, relaxes when stimulation ends • Thin, elongated cylinder that could extend full length of muscle

  21. Muscle fibers • Cells are multinucleate • Nuclei are just beneath the sarcolemma

  22. Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle • Sarcolemma – specialized plasma membrane • Sarcoplasmic reticulum – specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum Figure 6.3a

  23. Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle • Myofibril • Bundles of myofilaments • Myofibrils are aligned to give distinct bands • I band = light band • A band = dark band • Bands make muscle look STRIATED Figure 6.3b

  24. Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle • Sarcomere • Contractile unit of a muscle fiber • From Z disc to Z disc Figure 6.3b

  25. Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle • sarcomere organization (Section of myofibrils) • Thick filaments = myosin filaments = dark band • Composed of the protein myosin • Has ATPase enzymes (for contraction) Figure 6.3c

  26. Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle • Organization of the sarcomere • Thin filaments = actin filaments = light band • Composed of the protein actin Figure 6.3c

  27. Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle • Myosin filaments have heads (extensions, or cross bridges) • Myosin and actin overlap somewhat Figure 6.3d

  28. Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle • At rest, there is a bare zone that lacks actin filaments • Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) – for storage of calcium Figure 6.3d

  29. Modeling activity • In pairs, using the available materials, create a model of a myofibril segment between 2 M lines. • Include/indicate sarcomere, actin, myosin, 2 M lines, I band, and A band
