Skeletal Skeletal – striated, multinucleate, voluntary,  m Smooth Smooth - found in walls of hollow visceral organs; ex. stomach, bladder, respiratory passages; visceral, nonstriated, involuntary; discuss peristalsis Cardiac Cardiac – in heart only, striated, involuntary, intercalcated disks

Muscle function: produce movement maintain posture stabilize joints generate heat move substances within the body

Functional Characteristics: Excitability- respond to a stimulus Contractility- ability to shorten forcibly when adequately stimulated Extensibility- the ability to be stretched Elasticity- the ability of a muscle fiber to resume its resting length after being stretched

Stimulation of Skeletal Muscle

Muscle Twitch

Contraction Response single twitches wave summation tetanus action potentials in motor neuron

Isotonic and Isometric Contractions Isotonic contraction Contraction with a change in length The muscle shortens and movement occurs. Isometric contraction Contraction without any change in length The muscle does not shorten and there is no movement produced even though the muscle contracts.

Isotonic and Isometric Contractions Isotonic Isometric

Slow-Twitch Versus Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers

ATP is Generated by: 1.creatine phosphate ADP + creatine phosphate  creatine + ATP 2. lactic acid fermentation From stored glycogen via anaerobic glycolysis; glucose  pyruvic acid (no O 2 )  lactic acid  O 2 3. aerobic respiration Krebs  CO 2 + H 2 O + ATP Energy for muscle contraction: ATP is the only energy source ATP  (ATPase + H 2 O)  ADP + Pi

Muscle Fiber Types Fast glycolitic Slow oxidative Fast oxidative-glycolytic Ratio- red:white (all 3 types in body)

Fast glycolitic: white muscle fibers low myoglobin anaerobic glycolysis few mitochondria fast twitch fibers high glycogen stores short bursts fatigues easily

Slow oxidative: red muscle aerobic high myoglobin low glycogen stores lots mitochondria slow tonic long distance

Fast oxidative-glycolitic: red  pink Aerobic & anaerobic fast high myoglobin intermediate amt. of mitochondria intermediate glycogen intermediate fatigue resistance

Tuna- long distance swimmer Snapper- short bursts

Sprinter- anaerobic respiration Long distance Runner- aerobic respiration

Smooth Muscle Fibers Mainly aerobic Arranged in opposing sheets

Smooth Muscle Fibers peristalsis

Cardiac Tissue More mitochondria Longer refractory period Mainly aerobic respiration Can use multiple fuel molecules

Effects of Exercise Hypertrophy- excessive enlargement of muscle tissue Atrophy- disuse Muscles must be physically active if they are to remain healthy Cast Cast- muscle strength can decrease at a rate of 5%/ day; can use e- stimulus Avoid muscle injuries: -warm up muscles- walk fast 5 minutes -then stretch- avoids pulls and tares

Steroids Anabolic steroids similar to testosterone large doses required for good effect Side effects: overall - kidney and heart damage, aggressiveness females - sterility, facial hair, breast & uterine atrophy males - baldness, atrophy of testis

cramp- sustained spasm or tetanic contraction; may be due to low blood sugar levels, electrolyte depletion, dehydration how to care for cramp: RICE strain- muscle pull spasm- tics hernia- protrusion of organ through body cavity wall  may be due to heavy wts. Muscle Disorders
