The Muscular System

or “Everything you ever wanted to know about Muscles, but were afraid to ask” !!!

Did you know that ? -more than 50% of body weight is muscle ! -And muscle is made up of proteins and water

There are four characteristics associated with muscle tissue:  Excitability  Contractility  Extensibility  Elasticity - Tissue can receive & respond to stimulation - Tissue can shorten & thicken - Tissue can lengthen - After contracting or lengthening, tissue always wants to return to its resting state

The characteristics of muscle tissue enable it to perform some important functions, including:  Movement – both voluntary & involuntary  Maintaining posture  Supporting soft tissues within body cavities  Guarding entrances & exits of the body  Maintaining body temperature

Info About Muscles Only body tissue able to contract create movement by flexing and extending joints Body energy converters (many muscle cells contain many mitochondria)

The Muscular System Muscles are responsible for all movement of the body There are three basic types of muscle –Skeletal –Cardiac –Smooth

3 Types of Muscles

Three types of muscle SkeletalCardiacSmooth

Classification of Muscle Skeletal- found in limbs Cardiac- found in heart Smooth- Found in viscera Striated, multi- nucleated Striated, 1 nucleus Not striated, 1 nucleus voluntaryinvoluntary

Characteristics of Muscle Skeletal and smooth muscle are elongated Muscle cell = muscle fiber Contraction of a muscle is due to movement of microfilaments (protein fibers) All muscles share some terminology –Prefixes myo and mys refer to muscle –Prefix sarco refers to flesh

Shapes of Muscles Triangular- shoulder, neck Spindle- arms, legs Flat- diaphragm, forehead Circular- mouth, anus

Skeletal Muscle Most are attached by tendons to bones Cells have more than one nucleus (multinucleated) Striated- have stripes, banding Voluntary- subject to conscious control Tendons are mostly made of collagen fibers Found in the limbs Produce movement, maintain posture, generate heat, stabilize joints

Structure of skeletal muscle Each cell (fiber) is long and cylindrical Muscle fibers are multi-nucleated Typically 50-60mm in diameter, and up to 10cm long The contractile elements of skeletal muscle cells are myofibrils

Skeletal muscle - Summary Voluntary movement of skeletal parts Spans joints and attached to skeleton Multi-nucleated, striated, cylindrical fibres

Smooth Muscle No striations Spindle shaped Single nucleus Involuntary- no conscious control Found mainly in the walls of hollow organs

Smooth muscle Lines walls of viscera Found in longitudinal or circular arrangement Alternate contraction of circular & longitudinal muscle in the intestine leads to peristalsis

Structure of smooth muscle Spindle shaped uni-nucleated cells Striations not observed Actin and myosin filaments are present( protein fibers)

Smooth muscle - Summary Found in walls of hollow internal organs Involuntary movement of internal organs Elongated, spindle shaped fibre with single nucleus

Cardiac Muscle Striations Branching cells Involuntary Found only in the heart Usually has a single nucleus, but can have more than one

Cardiac muscle Main muscle of heart Pumping mass of heart Critical in humans Heart muscle cells behave as one unit Heart always contracts to it’s full extent

Structure of cardiac muscle Cardiac muscle cells (fibres) are short, branched and interconnected Cells are striated & usually have 1 nucleus Adjacent cardiac cells are joined via electrical synapses (gap junctions) These gap junctions appear as dark lines and are called intercalated discs

Cardiac muscle - Summary Found in the heart Involuntary rhythmic contraction Branched, striated fibre with single nucleus and intercalated discs

Muscle Control Type of muscle Nervous control Type of control Example Skeletal Controlled by CNS Voluntary Lifting a glass Cardiac Regulated by ANS Involuntary Heart beating Smooth Controlled by ANS Involuntary Peristalsis

Introductory Questions Where is skeletal muscle found in your body? Attached to bone. (Smooth muscle lines organs, and cardiac muscle is found in the heart.) What is the function of skeletal muscle? Voluntary movement Stability (posture) Communication (facial expression, speech) Control of body openings Heat production- 85% of body heat is generated by muscles providing the proper environment for enzymes and therefore metabolism

Types of Responses Twitch- –A single brief contraction –Not a normal muscle function Tetanus –One contraction immediately followed by another –Muscle never completely returns to a relaxed state –Effects are compounded

Where Does the Energy Come From? Energy is stored in the muscles in the form of ATP ATP comes from the breakdown of glucose during Cellular Respiration This all happens in the Mitochondria of the cell When a muscle is fatigued (tired) it is unable to contract because of lack of Oxygen

Exercise and Muscles Isotonic- muscles shorten and movement occurs ( most normal exercise) Isometric- tension in muscles increases, no movement occurs (pushing one hand against the other)

How are Muscles Attached to Bone? Origin-attachment to a movable bone Insertion- attachment to an immovable bone Muscles are always attached to at least 2 points Movement is attained due to a muscle moving an attached bone

Muscle Attachments Origin Insertion

Skeletal Muscle Attachments  Epimysium blends into a connective tissue attachment  Tendon – cord-like structure  Aponeuroses – sheet-like structure  Sites of muscle attachment  Bones  Cartilages  Connective tissue coverings

Connective Tissue Wrappings of Skeletal Muscle  Epimysium – covers the entire skeletal muscle  Fascia – on the outside of the epimysium

Connective Tissue Wrappings of Skeletal Muscle  Endomysium – around a single muscle fiber  Perimysium – around a fascicle (bundle) of fibers

Word Parts/Meanings Fascia- band or bundle Epi-upon Peri- around Endo- inner Mys- muscle Sarco-flesh Lemma- husk

Gross Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle Turn to page 185 in text book and draw/label the diagram of a skeletal muscle. Be very detailed.

Twizzler analogy Many packages of Twizzlers = Fascicle Find a Fascicle on your diagram.

Twizzler analogy 2 1 package of Twizzlers = Muscle fiber The packaging = Sarcolemma

Twizzler analogy 3 1 bundle of twizzlers = myofibril

Twizzler analogy 4 1 Twizzler strand = Filament

Compare the Muscle Fiber to Pull and Peel Twizzlers How amazing is that?
