  1. Chapter 38 Protection, Support, and Movement

  2. Epithelial coverings for both vertebrates and invertebrates • Protect underlying tissues • May be specialized for sensory or respiratory functions

  3. Outer epithelium secretions • For vertebrates and invertebrates • Lubricants or adhesives • Odorous or poisonous substances • For many invertebrates • Protective cuticle or shell

  4. Integumentary system of vertebrates • Skin • Structures that develop from skin • Fish scales • Mammal hair • Bird feathers

  5. Mammalian skin • Hair • Claws or nails • Sweat glands • Oil glands • Sensory receptors

  6. Human skin

  7. Stratum corneum • Outer layer of the epidermis • Consists of dead cells filled with keratin for strength and to reduce water loss

  8. Stratum basale • Cells divide and are pushed upward toward the skin surface • Mature, flatten, produce keratin, and eventually die and slough off • Dermis • Dense, fibrous connective tissue

  9. Subcutaneous tissue in birds and mammals • Composed of insulating fat • The feathers of birds and the hair of mammals help maintain a constant body temperature

  10. Skeletal system • Supports and protects the body • Transmits mechanical forces generated by muscles

  11. Hydrostatic skeleton • Soft-bodied invertebrates • Cnidarians, flatworms, and annelids • Fluid in a closed body compartment • Transmits forces generated by contractile cells or muscle

  12. Hydrostatic skeleton

  13. Exoskeletons • Mollusks and arthropods • Arthropod skeleton • Composed partly of chitin • Jointed for flexibility • Nonliving skeleton does not grow • Arthropods must molt periodically

  14. Molting cicada

  15. Endoskeletons • Echinoderms and chordates • Internal skeleton that can grow • Consists of calcium-impregnated tissue • Cartilage • Bone

  16. Vertebrate axial skeleton • Skull • Vertebral column • Ribs • Sternum

  17. Vertebrate appendicular skeleton • Bones of the limbs • Pectoral girdle • Pelvic girdle

  18. Human skeletal system

  19. Long bone • Thin outer shell of compact bone • Inner spongy bone • Central cavity with bone marrow

  20. Typical long bone

  21. Endochondral bone formation • Long bones • Develop from cartilage templates • Intramembranous bone development • Develop from a noncartilage connective tissue model

  22. Cells that shape and remodel bone • Osteoblasts • Produce bone • Osteoclasts • Break down bone

  23. Vertebrate joints • Joints are junctions of two or more bones • Ligaments are connective tissue • Bands that connect bones • Limit movement at the joint

  24. Immovable joints • Sutures of the skull • Slightly movable joints • Joints between vertebrae • Freely movable joint • Enclosed by a joint capsule lined with a membrane that secretes synovial fluid

  25. Insect flight muscles • High metabolic rate required for flight • Large numbers of mitochondria • Tracheae (air tubes)

  26. Vertebrate muscle • Muscle tissue contracts • Moves body parts by pulling on them • Types of muscle • Skeletal • Smooth • Cardiac

  27. Skeletal muscle is made up of hundreds of muscle fibers • Fibers consists of threadlike myofibrils • Myofibrils composed of smaller myofilaments • Striations reflect the overlapping of muscle filaments

  28. Muscle structure

  29. Sarcomere • Contractile unit • Actin (thin) filaments • Myosin (thick) filaments

  30. Steps in muscle contraction • Acetylcholine released by a motor neuron combines with receptors on the surface of a muscle fiber • Calcium ions released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

  31. Calcium ions bind to troponin in the actin filaments causing the troponin to change shape • Troponin pushes tropomyosin away from the active sites on the actin filaments • ATP binds to myosin

  32. ATP is split, putting the myosin head in a high-energy state • Energized myosin heads bind to the exposed active sites on the actin filaments • The actin filament is pulled toward the center of the sarcomere

  33. Myosin head binds a new ATP • Myosin head detaches from the actin • Myosin reattaches to new active sites so that the filaments are pulled past one another • Muscle continues to shorten

  34. Muscle contraction

  35. Providing energy for muscle contraction • ATP hydrolysis provides the energy to “cock” the myosin • Creatine phosphate is used for intermediate energy storage • Glycogen is the fuel stored in muscle fibers

  36. Antagonistic action of skeletal muscles • Agonist muscle contracts • Antagonist muscle relaxes • Groups of muscles work together • Series of separate stimuli timed close together produces a smooth, sustained contraction

  37. Muscle action

  38. Slow (red) fibers • Rich in mitochondria and myoglobin • Endurance activities • Fast (white) fibers • Rapid response
