10 Skeletal Muscle Tissue
I. Muscle A. Muscle = a Latin word for “little mouse” 1. skeletal muscle 2. cardiac muscle tissue 3. smooth muscle tissue
Properties of Muscle Tissue Contractility ► Myofilaments are responsible for shortening of muscles cells ► Actin and myosin are two type of myofilaments Excitability ► Nerve signals excite muscle cells Extensibility ► Contraction of a skeletal muscle stretches the opposing muscle ► Smooth muscle is stretched by substances within that hollow organ ► Food in stomach; urine in urinary bladder Elasticity ► Recoils after being stretched
II. Terminology Specific to Muscle Tissue A. Myo- and mys- - prefixes meaning “muscle” B. Sarco—prefix meaning “flesh” 1. Sarcolemma - plasma membrane of muscle cells 2. sarcoplasm—cytoplasm of muscle cells
III. Functions of Muscle Tissue A. Produce movement 1. skeletal muscle - attached to skeleton (movement) e.g. biceps, triceps 2. smooth muscle - squeezes fluids through hollow organs e.g. walls of intestines and arteries B. Maintain posture and stabilize joints 1. enables the body to remain sitting or standing 2. muscle tone helps stabilize many synovial joints
C. Heat generation 1. muscle contractions produce heat 2. helps maintain normal body temperature
IV. Types of Muscle Tissue A. Skeletal muscle tissue 1. packaged into skeletal muscles 2. makes up 40% of body weight 3. cells are striated 4. innervated by voluntary division of the nervous system
C. Cardiac muscle tissue 1. occurs only in the walls of the heart 2. cells are striated 3. contraction is involuntary D. Smooth muscle tissue 1. occupies the walls of hollow organs 2. cells lack striations 3. innervated by involuntary division of the nervous system
V. Gross Anatomy of a Skeletal Muscle A. Sheaths of connective tissue 1. epimysium - surrounding entire muscle 2. perimysium - surrounds each fascicle (bundle of fibers) 3. endomysium - wrapping each muscle cell
Epimysium Epimysium Bone Perimysium Endomysium Tendon Muscle fiberin middle ofa fascicle Blood vessel Fascicle(wrapped by perimysium) Endomysium(between individualmuscle fibers) Epimysium Perimysium Fascicle Endomysium Muscle fiber
B. Each skeletal muscle supplied by branches of ► one nerve ► one artery ► one or more veins C. Nerves and vessels branch repeatedly D. Smallest branches serve individual muscle fibers E. Muscle attachments ► origin - less movable attachment ► insertion - more movable attachment
Muscle contracting Origin Stable Insertion moving
F. Muscles attach by connective tissue (CT) 1. fleshy attachments - CT fibers are short 2. indirect attachments - CT forms a tendon or aponeurosis G. Bone markings present where tendons meet bones ► tubercles ► trochanters ► crests
H. skeletal muscle cell (fiber) 1. fibers are long and cylindrical ► Are huge cells—diameter is 10–100 µm ► Length—several centimeters to dozens of centimeters 2. cells are multinucleate 3. nuclei are peripherally located
Muscle >>> Fascicle >>> Muscle Cell >>> Myofibril Myofibrils ► Are long rods within cytoplasm ► Make up 80% of the cytoplasm ► Are a specialized contractile organelle found in muscle tissue ►Are a long row of repeating segments called sarcomeres
Muscle Cell >>> Myofibril Sarcolemma Muscle cell Mitochondrion Myofibril Light I band Dark A band Nucleus
Myofibril >>> Sarcomeres Thin (actin)filament Z disc H zone Z disc Thick (myosin)filament I band A band I band M line Sarcomere
VI. Sarcomeres A. Basic unit of contraction of skeletal muscle Z line - boundaries of each sarcomere ► Thin (actin) filaments—from Z disc to center of the sarcomere ► Thick (myosin) filaments—located in the center of the sarcomere A bands - full length of the thick filament H zone - center part of A band where no thin filaments occur M line - in center of H zone I band - region with only thin filaments

VII. Sarcoplasmic Reticulum and T Tubules A. Sarcoplasmic reticulum 1. specializedsmooth ER 2. contains calcium ions - released when muscle is stimulated 3. calcium ions diffuse through cytoplasm ► Trigger the sliding filament mechanism B. T tubules - deep invaginations of sarcolemma

VIII. Mechanism of Contraction A. Two major types of contraction 1. Concentric contraction – force as muscle shortens 2. Eccentric contraction - force as muscle lengthens
Sliding Filament Mechanism of Contraction Thick (myosin)filament Thin (actin)filament Thin (actin)filament Myosinheads Thick (myosin)filament Thin (actin) filament Movement Myosinhead Thick (myosin) filament

IX. Innervation of Skeletal Muscle A. Motor neurons innervate skeletal muscle tissue 1. neuromuscular junction - nerve ending meets muscle fiber 2. Terminal boutons (axon terminals) ► Located at ends of axons ► Store neurotransmitters 3. Synaptic cleft - between axon terminal and sarcolemma

X. Types of Skeletal Muscle Fibers A. Skeletal muscle fibers categorized according to two characteristics 1. how they manufacture energy (ATP) 2. how quickly they contract B. Oxidative fibers - produce ATP aerobically C. Glycolytic fibers - produce ATP anaerobically by glycolysis
D. Slow oxidative fibers ► Red slow oxidative fibers E. Fast glycolytic fibers ► White fast glycolytic fibers F. Fast oxidative fibers ► Intermediate fibers
G. Slow oxidative fibers ► Contract slowly and resistant to fatigue ► Red color due to abundant myoglobin ► Obtain energy from aerobic metabolic reactions ► Contain a large number of mitochondria ► Richly supplied with capillaries ► Fibers are small in diameter
H. Fast glycolytic fibers ► Contract rapidly and tire quickly ► Contain little myoglobin and few mitochondria ► About twice the diameter of slow oxidative fibers ► Contain more myofilaments and generate more power ► Depend on anaerobic pathways
I. Fast oxidative fibers ► Contract quickly like fast glycolytic fibers ► Somewhat fatigue resistant ► Have an intermediate diameter ► Are oxygen dependent ► Have high myoglobin content and rich supply of capillaries ► More powerful than slow oxidative fibers
XI. Disorders of Muscle Tissue A. Muscular dystrophy 1. a group of inherited muscle destroying disease ► Affected muscles enlarge with fat and connective tissue ► Muscles degenerate ► Types of muscular dystrophy a. Duchenne muscular dystrophy b. Myotonic dystrophy
B. Fibromyalgia ► A mysterious chronic-pain syndrome ► Affects mostly women Symptoms fatigue sleep abnormalities severe musculoskeletal pain headache
