Dive into the primary functions and types of muscle tissue, including smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscles. Learn how muscles work, their anatomy, and their role in locomotion and organ support.

Primary Function of the Muscular System • Locomotion • movement of substances through the body • structure and support for organs and tissues
Muscle Tissue: 3 Types • Muscle Tissue enables the movement of body structures. Smooth, Cardiac, Skeletal
Muscle Types: Smooth Muscle • Smooth muscle is non-striated, and acts in a number of involuntary processes in the body. Some of these processes include:
Muscle Types: Smooth Muscle • allows the expansion and contraction of arteries and veins • lines the bladder and reproductive tracts • lines the entire gastrointestinal tract
Did you know?... • Tiny smooth muscle fibers in the skin called Arrectorpili are responsible for “goose bumps.”
Muscle Types: Cardiac Muscle • Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is striated but functions involuntarily. It is solely responsible for propelling blood throughout the body.
Muscle Types: Skeletal Muscle • Skeletal muscle is striated, and associated with voluntary movement. It also provides structure and support for organs and tissues.

How Do Muscles Work? • Individual muscle fibers are composed of small cylindrical structures called myofibrils. The functional component within the myofibril is called the sarcomere. • Within the sacromere, protein filaments called actin and myosin allow the cell to expand and contract in a • 3 step process:
3 Steps • 1) Before the muscle is stimulated, actin and myosin filaments partially overlap one another. • 2) A nerve cell releases a signal which causes the actin and myosin filaments to “slide” along one another and overlap even more. • 3) This contracts the myofibril and subsequently the entire muscle cell. When the nervous signal changes, the filaments relax and return to their original state.

Action Potentials and the Neuromuscular Junction • Impulse arrives at axon terminal Ca+ ions rush in activating synaptic vesicles • Synaptic vesicles fuse with cell membrane of axon terminal • ACh released • ACh binds with motor end plate: deplorization occurs Impulse travels through T-tubules & SR

Muscle (~35%) Did you Know? If you check out a standard lass, Muscles are a third of her body mass. BODY COMPOSITION
The Muscular System: Key Components • Muscles move body parts because they’re attached to bones by strips of dense connective tissue called tendons.
Skeletal Muscle: Key Concepts • The place where muscle attaches to a stationary bone is called the “origin.” The place where the same muscle attaches and “pulls” is called the “insertion.” Origin Insertion
Skeletal Muscle: Key Concepts • Skeletal muscle can be characterized as either “extensors” (causing a joint to straighten or extend), or a “flexor” (causing a joint to bend or flex).
Challenge question • How are tendons different from ligaments?
Naming Muscles: By Direction of Muscle Fibers(Relative to the Midline) • RECTUS = parallel to the midline • RectusAbdominus • TRANSVERSE = perpendicular to midline • TransverseAbdominus • OBLIQUE = diagonal to midline • External Oblique
Naming Muscles: Location • Structure near which muscle is found • FRONTALIS= near FRONTAL bone • OCCIPITALIS = near OCCIPITAL bone
Naming Muscles: Size • Relative Size of Muscle • MAXIMUS = largest • GluteusMaximus • MEDIUS= middle • Gluteus Medius • MINIMUS= smallest • Gluteus Minimus • LONGUS= longest • FibularisLongus • BREVIS = short • FibularisBrevis • TERTIUS = shortest • FibularisTertius
Naming Muscles: Number of Origins • Number of tendons of origin • BICEPS= Two • Biceps Brachii • Biceps Femoris • TRICEPS= Three • Triceps Brachii • QUADRICEPS= Four • Quadriceps Femoris
Naming Muscles: Shape • Relative Shape of the Muscle • DELTOID= triangular shape Δ • TRAPEZIUS= trapezoid shape • SERRATUS= saw-toothed ♒ • RHOMBOIDEUS = rhomboid shape • TERES = round ○
Cateorigizing muscles by the Actions they Facilitate Examples __________ __________ __________ __________ • Prime mover– muscle with the major responsibility for a certain movement • Antagonist – muscle that opposes or reverses a prime mover • Synergist – muscle that aids a prime mover in a movement and helps prevent rotation • Fixator – stabilizes the origin of a prime mover
Frontalis: elevate eyebrows OrbicularisOculi: close eyelid Zygomaticus: draw angle of lip upward Buccinator: draws cheeks against teeth OrbicularisOris: closes mouth Platysma: draws lower lip down & back Cranial Aponeurosis: connects frontalis to occipitalis Temporalis: elevates mandible Occipitalis: draws scalp back Masseter: elevates mandible Sternocleidomastoid: Flexes head Draws head toward shoulder Head & Neck Muscles
