Muscular System Objectives: TSWBAT : Identify the three types of muscle tissue and its components. Identify the six functions of the muscular system. Label the major muscles in the human body. Analyze the movements of the joints and what muscles create the movements. Explain common injuries and medical conditions of the muscular system.
3
Approximately 40% of your body weight Approximately 650 muscles Muscles only pull (they can’t push) You have over 30 facial muscles Eye muscles move more than 100,000 times a day
4
Muscle plays six important roles in the body: 1. Produce skeletal movement 2. Maintains posture and body position 3. Support soft tissues (abdominal wall & pelvic cavity) 4. Guard entrances and exits (digestive and urinary tracts) 5. Maintain body temperature (energy is converted to heat) 6. Store nutrient reserves (proteins are broken down & amino acids are used)
5
1. Skeletal 2. Cardiac 3. Smooth
6
Definition - organs that are composed mainly of skeletal muscle tissue, but they also contain connective tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. Each cell is a single muscle fiber. Muscle fibers form bundles called fascicles. Directly or indirectly attached to the bones of the skeleton
7
Three layers of connective tissue are part of each muscle: 1. Epimysium – dense layer of collagen fibers that surround the entire muscle 2. Perimysium – divides the muscle into a series of compartments each containing a bundle of muscle fibers (fascicle); contains collagen & elastic fibers, blood vessels and nerves that maintain blood flow 3. Endomysium – flexible, elastic connective tissue layer; surrounds the individual skeletal muscle cells and interconnects adjacent muscle fibers
9
The muscle fibers in a single fascicle are parallel, but the organization of fascicles in skeletal muscles can vary The arrangement is correlated with muscle power and range of motion (structure determines function) Skeletal muscles are classified as: 1. Parallel muscles (most common) – fascicles are parallel to the long axis of the muscle 2. Convergent muscles – converge at a common attachment site; fibers spread out and pull in different directions 3. Pennate muscles – form a common angle with the tendon 4. Circular muscles – cocentrically arranged around an opening
10
At the end of the muscle, the collagen fibers of the epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium come together to form a tendon or aponeurosis Tendons and aponeuroses attach muscles to bone Origin – where the fixed end of the muscle attaches to the bone (cartilage or connective tissue) Insertion – where the movable end of the muscle attaches to another structure
11
Gastrocnemius – calf muscle that extends from the distal portion of the femur to the calcaneus When it contracts it pulls the calcaneus toward the knee Origin – femur Insertion - calcaneus
12
Agonist (prime mover) – a muscle whose contraction is mostly responsible for producing a particular movement Example – biceps brachii Antagonist – a muscle whose action opposes that of a particular agonist Example – triceps brachii Agonists and antagonists are functional opposites Synergists – help a larger agonist work efficiently
13
Muscle Tone – resting tension in a skeletal muscle Isotonic muscle contraction – tension rises and the skeletal muscle’s length changes (lifting) Isometric muscle contraction – the muscle as a whole does not change length, and the tension produced never exceeds the load (holding)

Choose a sport or activity where movement is involved (football, yoga, softball, swimming, skate boarding, etc.) Write a short story about the sport/activity (choose a competition, game, or practice) Include 10 muscles and 5 movements in the story that the participant(s) demonstrates Circle the muscle names & underline the movements in your story You must include one picture with your story Use the “arts and supplies” to complete your final draft The story is a classwork grade of 20 points (1 point for each required term and 5 points for your picture/creativity)
78
TSWBAT identify injuries of the muscular system. TSWBAT compare a strain and sprain. TSWBAT list the elements of RICE for first aid of muscular system injuries.
79
What is a strain? Strains are injuries that involve the stretching or tearing of a musculo-tendinous (muscle and tendon) structure What is a sprain? A sprain is an injury involving the stretching or tearing of a ligament (tissue that connects bone to bone) Strain vs. Sprain
80
Ankle Sprains
81
Examples of Strains
82
Grade I (mild) sprain or strain involves some stretching or minor tearing of a ligament or muscle. Grade II (moderate) sprain or strain is a ligament or muscle that is partially torn but still intact. Grade III (severe) sprain or strain means that the ligament or muscle is completely torn, resulting in joint instability.
83
R – rest I - immobilize (ice) C - compression E - elevation
84
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Definition - One of nine types of muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic, degenerative diseases primarily affecting voluntary muscles. Cause - An absence of dystrophin, a protein that helps keep muscle cells intact. Information obtained from: http://www.mda.org/disease/dmd.html
85
Onset - Early childhood - about 2 to 6 years. Symptoms - Generalized weakness first affecting the muscles of the hips, pelvic area, thighs and shoulders. Calves are often enlarged. Progression - DMD eventually affects all voluntary muscles, and the heart and breathing muscles. Inheritance - X-linked recessive. DMD primarily affects boys, who inherit the disease through their mothers. Women can be carriers of DMD but usually exhibit no symptoms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZAOO Hayy4I
86
Most surgery for ACL injuries involves replacing the ACL with tissue called a graft Usually an autograft (tendon taken from another part of the body) is used The most common grafts used are the tendon of the kneecap or one of the hamstring tendons Another choice is allograft tissue, which is taken from a deceased donor
87
Repairs an injured elbow ligament (UCL construction) A surgeon replaces the injured UCL with a tendon taken from somewhere else in the patient’s body
88
Loss of muscle function in part of your body Occurs when something goes wrong with the way messages pass between your brain and muscles Can be complete or partial; occur on one or both sides of your body; one area or widespread Paraplegia: lower half of your body Quadriplegia: arms and legs Due to strokes, injuries (spinal cord), or a broken neck
