2. 2 Chapter 9 The Muscular System

3. 3 Introduction Skeletal muscles: movement in environment Smooth muscles: intestines, ureters, veins and arteries Cardiac muscle: pumps blood through heart and blood vessels 40–50% of body weight

4. 4 The Types of Muscle

5. 5 The Types of Muscle (cont’d.) Skeletal: voluntary, striated, and multinucleated Smooth: involuntary, nonstriated, and uninucleated Cardiac: involuntary, striated, and uninucleated

6. 6 The Anatomy of Skeletal or Striated Muscle

7. 7 The Anatomy of Skeletal or Striated Muscle (cont’d.) Skeletal muscle cell surrounded by sarcolemma Fasciculi: bundles of fascicles Fascicles: individual bundles of muscle fibers

8. 8 The Anatomy of Skeletal or Striated Muscle (cont’d.) Perimysium: surrounds each fascicle Epimysium: covers the perimysium Fascia: covers the epimysium Myosin: A bands Actin: I bands Z lines H zone

9. 9 The Anatomy of Skeletal or Striated Muscle (cont’d.) Sarcomere: between two adjacent Z lines –Actual contraction process occurs here Sarcotubular system –T system and sarcoplasmic reticulum

10. 10 The Physiology of Muscle Contraction

11. 11 Introduction Motor unit: all muscle cells innervated by one motor neuron Muscle cell properties –Excitability –Conductivity –Contractility –Elasticity

12. 12 Neuroelectrical Factors Na + higher concentration outside muscle cell K + higher concentration inside muscle cell Resting potential: charge outside positive and inside negative Electrical potential: rush of Na + inside cell K + moves outside cell attempting to balance

13. 13 Neuroelectrical Factors (cont’d.)

14. 14 Neuroelectrical Factors (cont’d.) Action potential –Calcium released –Troponin and tropomyosin action inhibited –Activated myosin links to actin filaments

15. 15 Chemical Interactions Myosin heads contain ATP ATP releases energy upon myosin/action link Energy released used to pull action Sodium: potassium pump pumps out sodium Resting potential restored

16. 16 Chemical Interactions

17. 17 Energy Sources ATP: energy source for muscle contraction ATP production –Glycolysis –Krebs citric acid cycle –Electron transport Alternate sources: fatty acids and phosphocreatine

18. 18 The Muscle Twitch

19. 19 The Muscle Twitch (cont’d.) Stimulus > latent period > contraction > relaxation Contraction strength depends on –Strength, speed, and duration of stimulus –Weight of load –Temperature All-or-none law

20. 20 The Muscle Twitch (cont’d.)

21. 21 Muscle Tone

22. 22 Muscle Tone (cont’d.) State of partial contraction throughout whole muscle Maintains pressure on abdominal contents Helps maintain blood pressure Aids digestion Types –Isotonic, isometric

23. 23 The Anatomy of Smooth Muscle

24. 24 The Anatomy of Smooth Muscle (cont’d.) Found in hollow structures Involuntary, uninucleated, nonstriated Arrangement (two layers) –Longitudinal (outer) –Circular (inner)

25. 25 The Anatomy of Cardiac Muscle

26. 26 The Anatomy of Cardiac Muscle (cont’d.) Autonomic nervous system control Involuntary, uninucleated, striated Intercalated disks: coordinate contraction Cardiac muscles: contract, relax, and contract 75 times/minute

27. 27 The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles

28. 28 The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.) Action Shape Origin and insertion Location Direction of fibers

29. 29 The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.) Origin: more fixed attachment of muscle Insertion: movable attachment of muscle Tendons: attach muscle to bone Aponeurosis: wide flat tendon

30. 30 The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.) Flexors: bend limb at a joint Extensor: straighten limb at a joint Abductors: move limb away from midline Adductors: bring limb toward midline Rotators: revolve limb around axis

31. 31 The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.) Dorsiflexors: raise the foot Plantar flexors: lower the foot Supinators: turn palm upward Pronators: turn palm downward

32. 32 The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.) Levators: raise a part of the body Depressors: lower a part of the body Prime movers or agonists: bring about an action Antagonists: oppose agonists Synergists: assist prime movers
