Muscle Types Which is Which? Cardiac? Skeletal? Smooth? • Smooth • Smooth • Involuntary • Skeletal • Striated • Voluntary • Cardiac • Striated • Involuntary What other places can “skeletal” muscle be found?
Skeletal Muscle Cross section • Endomysium • Perimysium • Epimysium
Skeletal Muscle Organization Ross Fig 10-3 (p.250, 4th ed.)
How do Muscles get their Stripes? • Light band is the I band = actin only • Actin anchored at the Z disc at center of I band • Dark band is the A band = myosin + overlapping actin • Contains H band = myosin only • Myosin anchored at the M line
When Muscles Contract… • The A band does NOT change length • H and I bands shrink • Z discs are drawn closer together • Actin & myosin filaments do not actually shorten, they just slide past each other
The Triad • Triad = 1 T tubule + 2 terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum • There are 2 triads per sarcomere (in skeletal muscle) located at the ends of the A band (A-I junctions) • Function- Depolarization of sarcolemma (T tubule) triggers Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum to initiate contraction
Motor End Plates Motor unit = motor nerve + muscle cells it innervates
Other Things to Know Muscle-tendon Junction
Cardiac Muscle Like skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle has: • Sarcomeres (striations) • T-tubules • Calcium regulation at level of thin filaments So what’s different? Lab 7 Slide 13
Cardiac Muscle – Defining Characteristics Branching myofibrils Large, central, ovoid nuclei • Intercalated Disks Lab 7 Slide 14
Intercalated Disks Also, T Tubules and SR arranged in a diad, not triad Lab 7 Slide 16

Smooth Muscle Located in blood vessels, ducts, and here, in the GI tract. (This is the colon.) Lab 7 Slide 17
Smooth Muscle Longitudinal section Myenteric Ganglion ? Cross Section
A Closer Look Elongated nuclei Indistinct boundaries (w/ H&E) Wrinkled nuclei Centrally located nuclei Lab 7 Slide19

Smooth Muscle vs. CT Smooth Muscle • Darker Staining • Nuclei within fibers • Wrinkled nuclei DIACT • Lighter Staining • Fewer nuclei, outside fibers Lab 4. Slide 16.

A Closer Look – Why the “Dotted Lines”? Interrupted basal lamina due to GAP JUNCTIONS • Ensure coordination during contraction Lab 7 Slide 24
