  1. Muscular System

  2. Muscular System • Muscles use chemical energy to exert a pulling force • Many functions • Movement of body parts • Propel body fluids and food • Heartbeat • Distribute heat • Protects body

  3. Types of Muscle • Smooth Muscle • Cardiac Muscle • Skeletal Muscle

  4. Smooth Muscle • Peristalsis, vasoconstriction • No Striations • Single nucleus • No Transverse Tubules • No Intercalated Discs • Involuntary • Tapered

  5. Cardiac Muscle • Heartbeat • Striations • Single nucleus • Transverse Tubules • Intercalated Discs • Involuntary • Branched

  6. Skeletal Muscle • Movement of bones at joints • Striations • Multiple nuclei • Transverse Tubules • No Intercalated Discs • Voluntary • Non-Branched

  7. Levers • Skeletal muscles act as levers • Levers are simple mechanical devices consisting of a • Rod • Fulcrum • Weight (Resistance) • Force Applied

  8. 1st Class Lever • Fulcrum located between resistance and force • Ex. Extending the arm at the elbow

  9. 2nd Class Lever • Resistance located between fulcrum and force • Ex. Opening mouth at mandible

  10. 3rd Class Lever • Force located between resistance and fulcrum • Ex. Flexing arm at the elbow

  11. Features of Muscle • Origin – The head of the muscle, usually superior, relatively immobile • Insertion – The end of the muscle, usually inferior, relatively mobile • When a muscle contracts, the insertion is moved towards the origin

  12. Muscle Interactions • Agonist – A muscle that causes an action • Ex. Deltoid is the agonist for abduction of arm • Antagonist – A muscle that opposes an action • Ex. Pectoralis Major is the antagonist for abduction of arm • Synergist – Muscles that work together • Prime Mover – The muscle that does most of the work in synergistic relationships

  13. Types of Movements • Flexion – Moving parts at a joint, angle decreases • Extension – Moving parts at a joint, angle increases • Hyperextension – Extension beyond anatomical position

  14. Dorsiflexion – Moving ankle closer to shin • Plantar Flexion – Moving ankle further from shin

  15. Abduction – Moving a body part away from the midline of the body • Adduction – Moving a body part towards the midline of the body, think ADDuction= ADDing to body

  16. Medial Rotation – Turning a limb on its axis towards the midline of the body • Lateral Rotation – Turning a limb on its axis away from the midline of the body

  17. Circumduction – Moving a body part so that it follows a circular path

  18. Pronation – Rotation of forearm so that the palm is facing downward • Supination – Rotation of forearm so that the palm is facing upward, think “holds soup”

  19. Eversion – Turning the foot so the bottom faces laterally • Inversion – Turning the foot so the bottom faces medially

  20. Protraction – Moving a body part forward • Retraction – Moving a body part backward

  21. Elevation – Raising a part of the body • Depression – Lowering a part of the body
