  2. Involuntary Movement and Lack Striations SMOOTH MUSCLE

  3. Smooth Muscle • Involuntary or unconscious control • Contraction essentially the same as skeletal • The cells have important differences.

  4. COMPARISON OF TYPES

  5. Smooth Muscle • Elongatedwith tapering ends. (remember skeletal muscle was elongated with round ends) • Contains filaments of Actin and Myosin, organized differently, more random • NOTSTRIATEDbecause Actin and Myosin are arranged differently.

  6. Smooth Muscle • Multiunit smooth muscle: • In irises of the eyes • Walls of the blood vessels. • Visceral smooth muscle: • more common type of smooth muscle • in the walls of hollow organs • stomach, intestines, urinary bladder, and uterus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln09qihUi3g&feature=related

  7. Smooth muscle fibers • One fiber is stimulated, the impulse moves over its surface exciting adjacent fibers • Visceral smooth muscles • Rhythmicity-a pattern of repeated contractions. Remember Peristalsis?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o18UycWRsaA&feature=related

  8. Smooth muscle like skeletal muscle contracts by reactions of Actin and Myosin.

  9. 2 neurotransmitters in smooth muscle: • Acetylcholine • Norepinephrine. • Stimulates contractions in some smooth muscles and inhibits contractions in others. • Hormones also affect smooth muscle.

  10. Slower to contract and relax • Maintains a forceful contraction longer. • Change length without changing tautness • The stomach and intestinal walls stretch as the organs fill.

  11. Moving on to Cardiac Muscle  • This is called progress!

  12. Cardiac Muscle • Only in the heart • Striated cells joined end to end, forming fibers. • Intercalated disks allow muscle impulses to pass freely so they travel rapidly from cell to cell.

  13. Cardiac Muscle • Cardiac muscle is self exciting and rhythmic. A pattern of contraction and relaxation repeats again and again and causes the rhythmic contractions of the heart. • Cardiac muscle is involuntary.

  14. Skeletal Muscle Actions • As stated previously, skeletal muscles provide a variety of body movements. • Each muscles movement depends on the kind of joint it is associated with and the way the muscle attaches on either side of that joint.

  15. Origin and Insertion • Bones form moveable joints and function as levers. • End of a skeletal muscle fastens to a relatively immovable or fixed part at such a joint, • Other end connects to a moveable part of the other side of the joint. • The immoveable part is the origin • The movable end is its insertion

  16. When a muscle contracts, its insertion is pulled toward its origin • Some muscles have more than one origin or insertion. • Example: the biceps has 2 origins. The word biceps means 2 heads. The head of a muscle is the part nearest its origin. • Attaches at 2 spots on the scapula

  17. Individual muscles Muscles are named according to any of the following criteria: size,shape, location, action, number of attachments, or direction of its fibers.
