Classification of muscular tissue Classical view Histologically: skeletal muscle Striated muscle striated muscles of viscera cardiac muscle (heart) Smooth muscle – non striated (viscera and blood vessels) Specialized cells whose primary role is contraction -- principal components - contractile proteins : actin and myosin
Musceltissue smooth skeletal cardiac Histol. unit: cell fiber cell nucleus: central periph. central LS: CS:
Skeletal muscle longitudinal section transverse section Cohnheim-fields Chicago blue or iron hematoxylin
Skeletal muscle fiber d: 10 - 50 μm l: 2 mm-40 cm long, multinucleated cell = muscle fiber cross striation cytoplasm = sarcoplasm sarcolemma
Organization of skeletal muscle Endomysium: loose connective tissue around each muscle fiber (basal lamina, reticular fibers, fibroblast) containing capillaries Perimysium: connective tissue (elastic and collagen fibers) around each fascicle (bundles of muscle fibers) and route for larger blood vessels Epimysium: external sheath of dense connective tissue surrounding the entire muscle
Myofibrills, myofilaments (thick filaments) (thin filaments)
Sarcomere A: anisotropic I: isotropic Sarcomere: Z I A H M H A I Z
Sliding filament model of muscle contraction Molecular mechanism
Sarcoplasmic reticulum Sarcoplasmic reticulum – specialized endoplasmic reticulum (calcium store, metabolisms) T tubular system-invagination of the sarcolemma at the border of A-I bands.
Innervation - motor unit Motor unit: motorneuron (spinal cord or brainstem) and the innervated muscle fibers. The contraction is voluntary.
Motor end plate light microscopy electronmicroscopy Ach and Ach-esterase!
Muscle fiber types I Type I – red - slow oxidative fiber (many mitochondria and myoglobin, oxidative phosphorylation of fatty acid, slow, continuous contractions over prolonged periods, posture) Type IIa – fast intermediate oxidative-glycolytic fiber (mitochondria, myoglobin and glycogen, oxidative metabolism and anaerobic glycolysis, rapid contractions, athletics) Type IIb – white – fast glycolytic fibers (fewer mitochondria and myoglobin but abundant glycogen, glycolysis, rapid contraction but fatigue quickly, eye muscles, digits)
Cardiac muscle longitudinal section cross section
Cardiac muscle cells ID • branching cells • Cross striated (thick and thin filaments attached to Z discs) • lipofuchsin • Intercalated discs/ Eberth lines: end to end junctions between individual cardiac muscle cells ANF: Atrial natriuretic factor: wall of right atrium
Intercalated disc - Eberth line Fascia adherens
Purkinje-fibers(mod. cardiac muscle cells: glycogen + myofibrils)
Skeletal muscle T-tubuli, triads Cardiac muscle: T-tubuli and diads ER: SR ER: SR T-tubulus Btw. A- and I-lines T-tubulus at the level of Z-line Röhlich
Smooth muscle longitudinal section -cross section
Smooth muscle cell 20 μm (small blood vessel)-500 μm (pregnant uterus) Nucleus is located centrally Contractile elements-myofilaments (not arranged in the ordered manner) Sarcoplasmic reticulum is present but no T systems
Spontaneous rhytmic contractions Pacemaker cells gap junction Autonomic nerves (groundplexus) + hormons: modify activity Subsarcolemmal plaques; „dense bodies”: aktin anchoring places
Ultrastructure of smooth muscle cell (desmin, vimentin) (myosin) (actin) (functionally similar to Z discs)

Other contractile cells Cells that have contractile properties and contain myofilaments. Myofibroblast (cells of connective tissue) Myoepithel cells - sweat glands, mammary glands, salivary glands, iris - (components of the epithelial tissue)
