Muscular System • This system is made up of all the muscles in your body. LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system?
Muscular System • There are three types of muscle cells or fibers in the human body. Turn and tell your neighbor at least one type. Skeletal Cardiac Smooth Structure: LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system?
Muscular System • Striated (horizontal stripes when viewed under a microscope) • Long and cylindrical in shape • Multiple nuclei • Microscopic -- lie deep inside a muscle (many cells or fibers come together to form what we see as a skeletal muscle) • Examples in the body: Biceps, Triceps, Gluteus Maximus, Rectus Abdominis, Pectoralis Major… Skeletal Muscle Cells Structural Characteristics LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system?

Muscular System • Smooth -- not striated • Cells are long, thin, and pointed at the end • Smaller than skeletal muscle fibers • One nucleus • Examples in the body: found in the digestive track (esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine), bladder, uterus and in the walls of blood vessels Smooth Muscle Cells Structure: LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system?

Muscular System Student Activity #2: Voluntary or Involuntary??? That is the Question! • Students should turn to page 3 in their packets. Shared reading: Simon Says… a Lot About Muscles! • Students will work with their seat partner to complete this activity and discover the involuntary action that may be contagious! LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system?
Muscular System When referring to muscles and how they function, muscles can function two different ways: Voluntary muscles- muscles that a person can control. Involuntary muscles- muscles that function without a person’s control. LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system?
Muscular System Summarizing Strategy: 3-2-1 Compare the cells: • Provide 3 ways that smooth muscle cells are different from skeletal muscle cells. • Provide 2 ways that skeletal muscle cells are different from cardiac muscle cells. • Provide 1 example of voluntary and involuntary muscle function.

Muscular System Skeletal Muscle Function • Function #1: Helps us move • Skeletal muscles attach to bones and pull on bones to cause movement. • How do most skeletal muscles work? Voluntary or Involuntary? • Metaphors: • Pulling something with a rope (church bell, bucket in a well, yo-yo) • Using a lever to move something • A ski gondola / stage curtain • String puppets • Drawbridge • Tug of War LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system.
Muscular System Skeletal Muscle Function • Function #2: Holds the skeleton together, and helps support body weight to maintain balance and posture. • Muscles located on the opposite sides of the body pull simultaneously with the same amount of force, to keep you balanced or hold your posture.They also support your body weight. • Metaphors: • Support posts when building a roof • A tent or tee-pee • Stake up a tree • Bridge • Legs of the chair • Splint • Tug of war/teeter totter LEQ: What is purpose of the muscular system?
Muscular System Function #3: Pumps blood • It’s rhythmic, powerful contractions pushblood out of the heart as it beats. • Intercalated disks allow waves to sweep across the cells thus synchronizing muscle contraction. • How does our heart work? (voluntary or involuntary) • Metaphors: • Metronome • Perfume bottle/water gun • Water pump Cardiac Muscle Function What is the purpose of the muscular system.
Muscular System Quick Check for Learning Analysis Instructions - Answer the following questions: • How does a string puppet work like a skeletal muscle? • How does a tent function like a skeletal muscle? • How does a perfume bottle function like your heart?
Muscular System Function #4: Moves substances through the body (food, waste, blood). • In the digestive track, smooth muscle pushesfood through the digestive system. • In the walls of blood vessels, they squeezeblood flowing through vessels to help maintain blood pressure. • How do they work? (voluntary or involuntary) Metaphors: • Toothpaste • Go-gurt tube • Water pipes / water slides • Telephone lines • Air pump Smooth Muscle Function: LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system?
Muscular System Function #5: Produces body heat • Heat is generated when the muscles use fuel to do their job (nearly 85% of body heat is the result of muscle contraction). Metaphors: • Train (steam or coal engine) • Car motor (burns fuel) • Campfire All Muscle Types LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system?
Muscular System Quick Check for Learning Analysis Instructions: Answer the following questions: • How is pushing toothpaste through a toothpaste tube similar to the function of smooth muscles? • How does a steam engine function like our muscles? LEQ: What is the purpose of the muscular system?
