  1. Chapter 11Muscle Conwin Vanterpool, Ph.D

  2. Muscle Tissue • Composed of cells that contract when stimulated • Helps move the body and specific body parts • Skeletal, cardiac, smooth

  3. Skeletal Muscle • Located in muscles that attach to bones • Long, cylindrical cells are striated • Cells are bundled closely together in parallel arrays Figure 33.9a, page 564

  4. Smooth Muscle • In walls of many internal organs and some blood vessels • Cells are not striped and taper at the ends Figure 33.9c, page 564

  5. Cardiac Muscle • Present only in the heart • Cells are striated and branching • Ends of cells are joined by communication junctions Figure 33.9b, page 564

  6. nucleus TYPE: Skeletal muscle DESCRIPTION: Bundles of cylindrical, long, striated contractile cells; many mitochondria; often reflex-activated but can be consciously controlled LOCATIONS: Partner of skeletal bones, against which it exerts great force FUNCTION: Locomotion, posture; head, limb movements Fig. 33-9a2, p.564

  7. adjoining ends of abutting cells TYPE: Cardiac muscle DESCRIPTION: Unevenly striated, fused-together cylindrical cells that contract as a unit owing to signals at gap junctions between them LOCATIONS: Heart wall FUNCTION: Pump blood forcefully through circulatory system Fig. 33-9b, p.564

  8. nucleus TYPE: Smooth muscle DESCRIPTION: Contractile cells tapered at both ends; not striated LOCATIONS: Wall of arteries, sphincters, stomach, intestines, urinary bladder, many other soft internal organs FUNCTION: Controlled constriction; motility (as in gut); arterial blood flow Fig. 33-9c, p.564
