  1. Psyc 552 Ergonomics & Biomechanics Lecture 4

  2. Ligaments, Tendons, & Facia • Ligament: • Dense connective tissue that connects bone to bone. Image from: http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article1268.html

  4. Tendons • Tendons • Attach muscles to bones • Are surrounded by a sheath called a synovium • Synovial fluid facilitates gliding • Fascia • Dense connective tissue that covers organs or parts of organs and separates them from each other.

  5. Collagen fibers • Collagen fibers form both ligaments and tendons. • In tendons, the fibers run parallel to one another • In ligaments, the fibers are not parallel

  6. Muscles • 3 types of muscles in the body • Striated • Cardiac • Smooth • Muscles consist of • Muscle cells • 3 types of connective tissue… • Nerve fibers

  7. Muscle Connective Tissue Image from: http://www.biology.eku.edu/RITCHISO/301notes3.htm

  8. Muscle Fibers • Long multinuclear cylindrical cells composed of parallel myofibrils • Myofibrils • Composed of 2 sub units called myofilaments • Myosin • Actin

  10. Muscle Contractile Unit • Sacromere • The part of a cross-striated muscle fiber between the z-lines

  11. Nervous Tissue Image from: vv.carleton.ca/~neil/neural/neuron-a.html

  12. Nervous Tissue (cont) • Two branches • Sensory • Motor • Nerves connect to muscles via the neuromuscular junction • Nerve + muscle fiber = motor unit

  13. Muscular Contraction Image from: www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/muscle_Contract.html

  14. Muscle Contraction (cont)

  15. Energy for Muscles • Adenosine triphosphate ATP • Anaerobic metabolism • Aerobic metabolism
