Anatomy & Physiology The Muscular System
The Muscular system: • Muscles are organs • They provide tone, move body fluids & food, provide the heartbeat & distribute heat. There are 3 types of muscle: • Skeletal Muscle • Smooth Muscle • Cardiac Muscle
Types of Muscle: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/images/ency/fullsize/19917.jpg
Skeletal Muscle: • Attached to bones • multinucleated • Voluntary • Allow movement • Striated (striped) • Enclosed in endomysium (connective tissue) which forms fibers called fascicles. • The fascicles collectively form aponeuroses, tendon-like structures which attach to bones. http://www.uic.edu/classes/bios/bios100/labs/skeletal_muscle.jpg
No striations • Involuntary • Located in hollow organs (stomach, bladder, etc.) • Striated • Involuntary • Located only in the heart (pump blood) • branching Smooth Muscle Cardiac Muscle http://www.mccc.edu/~falkow/images/cardiac_001.jpg http://www.victoriacollege.edu/dept/bio/Belltutorials/Histology%20Tutorial/Basic%20Tissues/imageFLL.JPG
Muscle functions: • Movement (contraction & relaxation) • Posture • Joint stabilization • Heat generation
Microscopic anatomy of skeletal muscle: • Sarcolemmais the plasma membrane. • The contractile unit in the muscle is the sarcomere. • Myofibrilsare the organelles. • Myofilamentsare the proteins found within the sarcomeres. These form striations. • Actinare thin filaments. • Myosinare thick filaments.
Skeletal Muscle: http://www.ivy-rose.co.uk/Topics/Muscles/Muscle_Cell_Close-up_1.jpg
These striations a pattern with 2 parts: • I bands (light) have actin attached to Z lines. • A bands (dark) are myosin overlapping actin, containan H zone (central thick region) and a M line. • Within the sarcoplasm is thesarcoplasmic reticulum(just like the ER of other cells). These are membranous channels.

Skeletal muscle activity: • Motor neurons (nervous system) connect to each & every skeletal muscle fiber. • The connection between these two forms a neuromuscular junction. • This is thereason skeletal muscles contract. • Motor neurons branch; their ends contain a lot of mitochondria & synaptic vesicles (responsible for synapses). • They storeneurotransmitters.

The basic movement of skeletal muscle is a result of a stimulus (via a neuro-transmitter). • The actin & myosin filaments slide past each other, shortening the muscle fiber (contraction). • Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter responsible for skeletal muscle contraction. • This needs ATP and high [Ca++] • This is called the Sliding Filament Theory.

Energy for muscle contraction: • Aerobic respiration: requires oxygen and produces ATP, which is used by muscles. • Creatine phosphate: provides phosphate to ADP to make ATP, which is then used by muscles. • Lactic acid fermentation: this is anaerobic respiration (no oxygen used). • Lactic acid is produced (and a small amount of ATP).
Energy goes into cycle (to make ATP) Energy to do work http://library.thinkquest.org/C006669/media/Biol/img/atp_cycle.gif
Oxygen debt & Muscle Tone: • Active muscles tend to become O2 deficient. • An accumulation of lactic acid in muscles causes fatigue, cramping and pain. • Repaying an oxygen debt (after strenuous exercise) may take several hours. • Even at rest, muscle toneexists. This is the sustained contraction of muscles. This is important in maintaining posture.
Muscle movements, types & names: • Muscles move according to their location & position. • The immovable end of a muscle is called the origin (head) while the movable end is called itsinsertion. • Insertion is pulled towards its origin. • Some muscles have more than 1 origin or insertion. • Ex: biceps brachii (in arm) has 2 origins (biceps=2 heads)
Flexion means decreasing an angle • Extension means increasing an angle • Muscle name usually indicates info about it: its location, size, # of attachments, shape or action. Examples: deltoid(shaped like a delta or triangle) biceps brachii(2 heads in the brachium, or arm) pectoralis major(large in size, located in pectoral, or chest, region)
