Chapter 9B: The Muscular System Muscle Organization & Function (Not Interactive)
Muscle Organization and Function Muscle organization affects power, range, and speed of muscle movement Muscle cells (fibers) are organized in bundles (fascicles)
Organization of Skeletal Muscle Fibers 4 patterns of fascicle organization: parallel convergent pennate circular
Parallel Muscles Fibers parallel to the long axis of muscle e.g., biceps brachii
Parallel Muscle Body The center or body of the muscle thickens when parallel muscle contracts Parallel muscles contract about 30%
Convergent Muscles Figure 11–1b
Convergent Muscles A broad area converges on attachment site (tendon, aponeurosis, or raphe) Muscle fibers pull in different directions, depending on stimulation e.g., pectoralis muscles
Pennate Muscles Figure 11–1c, d, e
Pennate Muscles Unipennate: Bipennate: Multipennate: fibers on 1 side of tendon e.g., extensor digitorum Bipennate: fibers on both sides of tendon e.g., rectus femoris Multipennate: tendon branches within muscle e.g., deltoid
Pennate Muscles Form an angle with the tendon Do not move as far as parallel muscles Contain more myofibrils than parallel muscles Develop more tension than parallel muscles
Circular Muscles Figure 11–1f
Circular Muscles Also called sphincters Open and close to guard entrances of body e.g., obicularis oris
Levers Mechanically, each bone is a lever (a rigid, moving structure): and each joint a fulcrum (a fixed point) Muscles provide applied force (AF): required to overcome resistance (R)
Functions of a Lever To change: direction of an AF distance and speed of movement produced by an AF effective strength of an AF
3 Classes of Levers Depend on the relationship between applied force, fulcrum, and resistance: first class second class third class
First-Class Levers Seesaw is an example Center fulcrum between applied force and resistance Force and resistance are balanced
Second-Class Levers Wheelbarrow is an example Center resistance between applied force and fulcrum A small force moves a large weight
Third-Class Levers Most common levers in the body Center applied force between resistance and fulcrum Greater force moves smaller resistance Maximizes speed and distance traveled
Origins and Insertions Muscles have 1 fixed point of attachment (origin) and 1 moving point of attachment (insertion) Most muscles originate or insert on the skeleton Origin is usually proximal to insertion
Actions Movements produced by muscle contraction Body movements e.g., flexion, extension, adduction, etc. Described in terms of bone, joint, or region
Muscle Interactions Muscles work in groups to maximize efficiency Smaller muscles reach maximum tension first, followed by larger, primary muscles
Muscle Terminology Based on Function Agonist (prime mover): produces a particular movement Antagonist: opposes movement of a particular agonist Synergist: a smaller muscle that assists a larger agonist helps start motion or stabilize origin of agonist (fixator)
Muscle Opposition Agonists and antagonists work in pairs: when 1 contracts, the other stretches i.e., flexors–extensors, abductors–adductors, etc.
