  1. MMHS Anatomy and Physiology muscle introduction notes

  2. General Characteristics • 600 muscles in the human body • Makes up 40% of the body weight • 3 main types that make up the human body • Viewed as “the machines” of the body • Prefixes associated with muscles • myo- and mys- = “muscle” • Sarco = “Flesh” • Globin = “protein”

  3. Muscle Properties • Muscles can only contract or shorten. • Muscles can’t PUSH, they only PULL. • Muscle occur in opposing pairs. • Prime Mover:causes the main movement. • Antagonist: opposes or reverses a movement. Example:The Prime Mover is the biceps brachiiand the Antagonist is the triceps brachii. • Body building adds very little new muscle but instead adds filaments and fluid. (these additions make muscles work more efficiently).

  4. The 3 Types of Muscle • Skeletal or Striated Muscle • Long and cylindrical with many nuclei (=multinucleate) • Under both Voluntary and Involuntary Movement • Tendons attach muscle to bone at 2 points. • Origin:stationary muscle point (anchor) • Insertion: movable attachment point • Skeletal Muscles occur in pairs that have opposing motion. • Flexors: decrease the angle between parts. • Extensors:increase the angle between parts. Example: The biceps brachiiis the flexor and the triceps brachiiis the extensor.

  5. Skeletal Muscle

  6. Muscle Properties 4 Main Properties of Skeletal Muscles • Contractibility:shorten with force. • Elasticity:will return to its original form. • Excitability: responds to a stimulus (nerve) • Extensibility:can be stretched.

  7. 3 Types of Muscles • Smooth Muscle • Spindle-shaped with 1 nucleus (uninucleate) • Involuntary Movement • Located in digestive, urinary tracts, and vascular system. Peristalsis: the term for the rhythmic, synchronized contraction of smooth muscle.

  8. Skeletal Muscle

  9. 3 Types of muscle 3. Cardiac or Myocardium • Found only in heart tissue. • Striated with 1 nucleus and intercalated discs. • Involuntary (about 86,400 beats/day) • Pacemakers (SA node of right atrium) artificially controls the rhythm of the heart.
