Muscular System Physiology

1. Skeletal muscle tissue:  Attached to bones and skin  Striated  Voluntary (i.e., conscious control)  Powerful  Primary topic of this chapter

2. Cardiac muscle tissue:  Only in the heart  Striated

3. Smooth muscle tissue:  In the walls of hollow organs, e.g., stomach, urinary bladder, and airways  Not striated  Involuntary  More details later in this chapter

 Connective tissue sheaths of skeletal muscle:  Epimysium: dense regular connective tissue surrounding entire muscle  Perimysium: fibrous connective tissue surrounding fascicles (groups of muscle fibers)  Endomysium: fine areolar connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber

 Densely packed, rodlike elements  ~80% of cell volume  Exhibit striations: perfectly aligned repeating series of dark A bands and light I bands  Contain the contractile elements of skeletal muscle

 Smallest contractile unit (functional unit) of a muscle fiber  The region of a myofibril between two successive Z discs  Composed of thick and thin myofilaments made of contractile proteins

 Thick filaments (myosin): run the entire length of an A band  Thin filaments (actin): run the length of the I band and partway into the A band  Z disc: coin-shaped sheet of proteins that anchors the thin filaments and connects myofibrils to one another  H zone: lighter midregion where filaments do not overlap  M line: line of protein myomesin that holds adjacent thick filaments together

 Composed of the protein myosin  Myosin tails contain: ▪ 2 interwoven chains  Myosin heads contain: ▪ 2 smaller chains that act as cross bridges during contraction ▪ Link the thick and thin filaments together ▪ Binding sites for ATP ▪ ATPase enzymes-split ATP to generate energy

 Composed of actin  Actin bears active sites for myosin head attachment during contraction  Tropomyosin and troponin: regulatory proteins bound to actin  Both help control the myosin-actin interactions involved in contractions

 Network of smooth endoplasmic reticulum surrounding each myofibril  Pairs of terminal cisternae form perpendicular cross channels  Functions in the regulation of intracellular Ca 2+ levels  Release Ca 2+ when muscle contracts

 Continuous with the sarcolemma  Penetrate the cell’s interior at each A band–I band junction  Associate with the paired terminal cisternae to form triads that encircle each sarcomere

 In the relaxed state, thin and thick filaments overlap only slightly  During contraction, myosin heads bind to actin, detach, and bind again, to propel the thin filaments toward the M line  As H zones shorten and disappear, sarcomeres shorten, muscle cells shorten, and the whole muscle shortens

 Axons of motor neurons travel from the central nervous system via nerves to skeletal muscles  Each axon forms several branches as it enters a muscle  Each axon ending forms a neuromuscular junction with a single muscle fiber

 Nerve impulse arrives at axon terminal  ACh is released and binds with receptors on the sarcolemma  Electrical events lead to the generation of an action potential

 At low intracellular Ca 2+ concentration:  Tropomyosin blocks the active sites on actin  Myosin heads cannot attach to actin  Muscle fiber relaxes

 At higher intracellular Ca 2+ concentrations:  Ca 2+ binds to troponin  Troponin changes shape and moves tropomyosin away from active sites  Events of the cross bridge cycle occur  When nervous stimulation ceases, Ca 2+ is pumped back into the SR and contraction ends

Continues as long as the Ca 2+ signal and adequate ATP are present Cross bridge formation—high- energy myosin head attaches to thin filament Working (power) stroke—myosin head pivots and pulls thin filament toward M line
