Chapter 10—The Muscular System

I. Introduction & connective tissues of a muscle

§ Introduction of Muscles 600 Human skeletal muscles The study of muscles– Myology

§ The Functions of Muscles Movement of body parts and body contents– Examples Maintain posture and prevent unwanted movement— resist the gravity etc. Communication – Nerves communicate with the brain to move body Control of openings and passageways– Examples-- eyelids, sphincters, mouth Heat production– 85% of our body heat is from skeletal muscle contraction

§ Connective Tissues of a Muscle 5. Tendon 4. Deep fascia 3. Epimysium 2. Perimysium Muscle fascicle 1. Endomysium Muscle fiber

Connective Tissues of a Muscle Endomysium thin areolar tissue around each muscle fiber allows room for blood vessels and nerves Perimysium slightly thicker layer of connective tissue surrounds bundle of cells called a fascicle Epimysium covers whole muscle belly blends into CT sheets called fascia (next slide)

Location of Fascia Deep Fascia Femur Skin Deep fascia found between adjacent muscles; no fat Superficial fascia (adipose tissue; hypodermis) between skin and muscles Superficial Fascia Deep Fascia Femur Skin

§ Ways of Muscle Attachments To bone directly-- epimysium is continuous with periosteum of a bone Ex.– intercostal muscles To bone indirectly-- epimysium continues as tendon that merges into periosteum Ex.-- many including biceps brachii to scapula To fascia or tendon of another muscle-- To collagen fibers (dermis)-- Ex.--muscles for facial expression To a broad sheetlike tendon, aponeurosis-- Ex.--certain abdominal muscles (Fig. 10.15)

II. General anatomy of skeletal muscles and classification of muscles

§ Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles Origin— stationary end of a muscle when contracts Belly-- thicker, middle region of muscle Insertion— mobile end of muscle Detail fig. next slide Biceps brachii

§ Muscle types based on fascicle direction-1

Skeletal Muscle types —based on fascicle direction-2 Fusiform muscles Features: biceps brachii m., gastrocnemius of the calf Parallel muscles; long, uniform width, having parallel fascicles rectus abdominis m., sartorius of the thigh, zygomaticus major Convergent muscle; fan-shaped, broad at origin and tapering to a narrower insertion pectoralis major of the chest Fig. 10.15

Skeletal Muscle type—based on fascicle direction-3 Pennate muscles (feather-shaped) fascicles insert obliquely on a tendon, like the shaft of the feather Unipennate—fascicles approach the tendon from one side; palmar interosseus (hand) (Fig.) Bipennate—fascicles approach the tendon from both sides; rectus femoris (thigh) (Fig.) Multipennate--like feathers with their quills on a single point; deltoid (shoulder) (Fig.) Circular muscles (sphincters) Features: orbicularis oculi (eyelids), orbicularis oris, urethral and anal sphincters 10-16

III. Action of muscle groups and muscle innervation

§ 4 categories of muscles based on actions Action— movement produced by a muscle Prime mover or agonist produces . . . Example: in flexing the elbow, the prime mover is the brachialis Synergist aids the prime mover May stabilize the nearby joint Or modify the direction of movement Example: works with brachialis, biceps brachii as a synergist to flex the elbow * In some textbooks 1 and 2 are opposite.

§ 4 categories of muscles based on actions Antagonist is a muscle that . . . opposes the _____________ Moderates the speed or range of the agonist; preventing excessive movement and injury Example: Triceps brachii Fixator is a muscle that . . . prevents _______________ Elbow flexion– the rhomboids holds the scapula in place (Fig. 10.17) 10-22

In-class activity Question--Muscle Actions during Elbow Flexion ID which specific muscle of the upper arm is responsible for the above action. (based on the text) Prime mover (agonist) = ? Synergist = ? Antagonist = ? Fixator = ?

§ Skeletal Muscle Innervation Cranial nerves arising from the brain exit the skull through foramina numbered I to XII (Fig. 14.27) Innervate muscles of the ______________ Spinal nerves arising from the spinal cord Muscles elsewhere are supplied by these nerves From spinal cord and exit the vertebral column through intervertebral foramina (Fig. 13.1, 8.23b)

§ How Muscles are Named Terminologia Anatomica system of Latin names developed in 1895 updated since then English names for muscles are slight modifications of the Latin names. Table 10.1 = terms used to name muscles; Examples: Major = large (Criteria: ____); pectoralis major Deltoid = triangular (Criteria: _____); Deltoid Quadriceps = having 4 heads; quadriceps femoris etc.

§ Learning Strategy (start with Fig. 10.4a and b) Explore the location, origin, insertion and innervation of 160 skeletal muscles use tabular information in this chapter. Increase your retention examining models and atlases palpating yourself (atlas B) observe an articulated skeleton say the names aloud and check your pronunciation

Quadriceps femoris
