Chapter 7 Muscular System
Functions and Types of Muscle Has three types Smooth Cardiac Skeletal
Functions and Types of Muscle Smooth Muscle: Wall of hollow internal organs Involuntary contractions Moves materials Single nucleus Parallel lines, forming sheets No striations Sustain prolonged contraction, doesn’t fatigue easy

Functions and Types of Muscle Cardiac Muscle: Wall of heart Uninucleiated Striated, tubular, and branched Intercalated disks = quick contractions Involuntary and rhythmic

Functions and Types of Muscle Skeletal Muscle:
Functions and Types of Muscle Connective Tissue Coverings: Endomysium: each muscle fiber is surrounded by Fascicles: groups of muscle fibers Perimysium: Connective tissue covering of fascicles Epimysium: Covers the entire muscle
Functions and Types of Muscle Connective Tissue Coverings:
Functions and Types of Muscle Skeletal muscle: Supports the body Makes bones and other body parts move Helps maintain a constant body temperature Contraction assists movement in cardiovascular and lymphatic vessels Protects internal organs and stabilizes joints
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Sarcolemma: plasma membrane Sarcoplasm: cytoplasm Contains glycogen for energy Contains myoglobin that binds oxygen Sarcoplasmic reticulum: endoplasmic reticulum Encases myofibrils- contractile portion of muscle fibers
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Sarcomeres- units of myofibrils Contain myosin: thick protein filament Contain actin: thin protein filament
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Thick filaments Made of hundreds of protein myosin
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Thin filaments Made of two intertwining strands of protein actin
Actin and Myosin
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Neuromuscular junction: the area between the axon terminal and the sarcolemma
Neuromuscular Junction
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Actin- surrounded by threads of tropomyosin and troponin Calcium ions bind with troponin and expose myosin binding sites ATP binds to myosin and is broken down to ADP and P Energy is released, contraction occurs
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Muscles acquire ATP in 3 ways Creatine phosphate breakdown Cellular respiration Fermentation
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Creatine Phosphate Breakdown Creatine Phosphate builds up when muscle is at rest Speediest way to make ATP available 8 seconds of intense energy
Creatine Phosphate Breakdown
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Cellular Respiration: Completed in mitochondria Only when oxygen is available From glycogen and fatty acids End products are carbon dioxide, water, and heat
Cellular Respiration
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Fermentation: Anaerobic Glucose breaksdown into lactic acid Build up of lactic acid leads to cramping
Fermentation
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle All or nothing law A single fiber either contracts or rest However, a group of fibers some contract and other will not to appear to have the ability for partial contractions
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Muscle twitch- single contraction that last for a fraction of a second Latent period: time between stimulation and initiation of contraction Contraction period: muscle shortens Relaxation period: muscle returns to its former length
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Summation – increase in muscle contraction until maximal sustained contraction is achieved Tetanic contraction- maximum contraction
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Innervated- muscle fibers are innervated with nerve fibers called a motor unit Motor units either contract or do not contract Recruitment- stronger and stronger muscle contractions
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle While some muscles are contracting others are resting, this helps prevent fatigue Tone: some fibers are always contracting Helps maintain posture
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Atrophy- loss of muscle tone due to inactivity or nerve damage Muscle will eventually be replaced by adipose and fibrous tissue Muscles will shorten, leaving parts contracted
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Pertrophy- increase in muscle size Prolonged period of forceful muscular activity increases myofibrils
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Slow-twitch muscles Steadier and more endurance Highly resistant to fatigue Substantial reserve of glycogen and fat Abundant mitochondria, few fibers Aerobic
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Fast-twitch muscles Anaerobic Designed for strength Many fibers, few mitochondria Little or no myoglobin Few blood vessels Vulernable to cramping
Skeletal Muscles Origin – of a muscle is on the stationary bone Insertion- of a muscle in on the bone that moves
Skeletal Muscles
Skeletal Muscles Prime mover- the muscle that does most of the work Synergists- the assisting muscles
Skeletal Muscles Antagonist- pair of muscles working against the synergist
Skeletal Muscles Naming muscles Size Shape Direction of fiber Location Example: gluteus maximus, largest butt muscle Shape Deltoid, shaped like a delta Direction of fiber Rectus abominis, rectus = straight Location Frontalis, overlies the frontal bone
Skeletal Muscles Naming muscles Attachment Number of attachments Ex. Brachioradialis, brachium and the radius Number of attachments Ex. Bicep = two attachments Action Extensor digitorum – extends fingers
Skeletal Muscles
Skeletal Muscles Muscles of the Head Frontalis: frontal bone Raising eyebrows, wrinkle brow Orbicularis oculi: encircles eye blinking Orbiularis oris: encircles mouth Pucker lips
Skeletal Muscles Muscles of the Head Buccinator: cheek Compresses to whistle Zygomaticus: cheekbone to corner of mouth Smile
Skeletal Muscles Muscles of Mastication Masseter: zygomatic arch to mandible Ex. chewing Temporalis: overlies temporal bone Ex. Elevates mandible
Skeletal Muscles Muscles of the Neck Deep neck muscles are responsible for chewing Superficial muscles are responsible for moving the head
Skeletal Muscles Muscles of the Neck Sternocleidomastoid Trapezius Turns head from right to left Trapezius Triangular Shrug shoulders
Skeletal Muscles Muscles of the Trunk External intercostal: between ribs Ex. Elevate rib cage during inspiration Diaphragm Ex. Assists in inspirations Internal intercostal Ex. Normally no muscular contraction, only with forced expiration
