Skeletal • Visceral • Cardiac 3 Types of Muscle Tissue
Aid in movement • Provide and maintain posture • Protect internal organs • Provide movement of blood, food and waste products throughout the body • Open and close body openings • Produces heat Functions of Muscle
Electrically • Mechanically • chemically Muscle stimulation
Irritability or excitability: ability to respond to a stimulus • Contractility: ability to shorten • Extensibility: ability to stretch and lengthen • Elasticity: ability to recoil to its resting length Vocabulary
Makes up 40 % of body weight • Increase in size and weight with exercise • Named according to: • Location • Related bones • Shape • Action • size • Looks striated under microscope • Tendons attach muscle to bone Skeletal Muscle
Sarcomere: • Causes contraction • Made up of actin and mysosin Units of Muscle Fibers
Origin: attached to the less movable part of bone • Insertion: attached to the more movable part of the bone • Body: middle part of the muscle 3 parts of Skeletal muscle
Flexion = decreasing joint angle • Extension = increasing joint angle • Abduction = movement away from midline • Adduction = movement towards the midline • Pronation = turning palms down • Supination = turning palms up
Lines organs • Makes up walls of blood vessels • In the digestive system • Smooth – has no striations • Contracts when stimulated • Controlled by the autonomic nervous system Visceral Muscle
Only in the heart • Striated muscle • Involuntary control Cardiac Muscle
