Comprises nearly half our weight.
Over 650 muscles.
Each muscle is made up of hundreds or thousands of muscle fibers.

Bundles of threadlike structures called myofibrils
Composed of:
Myosin
Actin
Form overlapping pattern called sarcomere

Types of muscle
Skeletal
Smooth
Cardiac
Sphincter
Body movements are determined by one or more of 3 principle types of muscles – skeletal, smooth and cardiac. These muscles are also described as striated, spindle shaped and non-striated because of the way their cells look under a microscope.
Spincter muscles open and close to control passage of substances.

7. Structures of the muscular system
Types of Muscle
Skeletal muscles
Attached to bone
Striated (striped) appearance
Voluntary
Multinucleated muscle cell bundles
Attached to bones of skeleton. Called striped or striated because they have cross bandings of alternating light and dark bands running perpendicular to the lenths of the muscle. Also called voluntary because it contains nerves under voluntary control. Skeletal muscles consists of bundles of muscle cells that contain many nuclei (multinucleated). Each muscle cell is known as a muscle fiber. The cell membrane is sarcolemma and the cytoplasm is sarcoplasm.
Skeletal muscles are over our “fleshy” body parts. They provide movement to the limbs, but contract quickly, fatigue easily, and lack the ability to remain contracted for prolonged periods. Control things like blinking the eyes, talking, breathing, dancing, eating, and writing are all produced by the motion of these muscles.

9. Mrs. Smith's Muscular System notesPg
TYPES OF MUSCLES
SKELETAL
- Attached to bone
- Cause body movement
- Voluntary muscle : you control
Ex: Biceps, Triceps, Hamstrings, Quadriceps, Abdominals

10. Structures of the muscular system
Types of Muscle
Smooth muscles
Also known as visceral muscles
Involuntary
Located in walls of digestive system, uterus & blood vessels
Smooth muscles are small and spindle-shaped. There is only one nucleus, located in the center of the cell. Smooth muscles called smooth ecause they are unmarked by any distinctive striations. They are unattached to bones, they act slowly, do not tire easily and can remain contracted for a long time.
Smooth muscles are ont under conscious control so called involuntary. Their actions are controlled byy the autonomic nervous system. They are found in the walls of internal organs, including the stomach, intestines, uterus and blood vessels. They help push food along the length of the alimentary canal, contract the uterus during labor and childbirth and control the diameter of the blood vessels as the blood circulates throughout the body.

11. Mrs. Smith's Muscular System notesPg
TYPES OF MUSCLES
SMOOTH
- Produce movement in
your internal organs &
passageways.
- Involuntary muscle:
automatic contractions
Ex: pupil, stomach, liver, bladder, esophagus, lungs, blood vessels
PG. 395

12. Structures of the muscular system
Types of Muscle
Cardiac muscle
Found only in the heart
Striated, branched
Involuntary
Cells are fused- when one contracts, they all contract, creating the heartbeat
Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscles are striated and branched and are involuntary. The cardiac cells are joined in a continuous network without a sheath separation. The membranes of adjacent cells are fused at places called intercalated discs. A communication system at te fused area will not permit independent cell contraction. When one cell receives a signal to contract, all neighboring cells are stimulated and they contract together to produce the heartbeat.
When the heart beats normally, it holds a rhythm of about 72 beats per minute, however the activity of various nerves leading to the heart can increase or decrease its rate.
Cardiac muscle requires a continuous supply of oxygen to function. If the oxygen supply is cut off for even 30 seconds, the cardiac muscle will start to die.

14. Structures of the muscular system
Types of Muscle
Sphincter muscles
Also called dilator muscles
Special, circular muscles
Located in the
digestive system
urinary system
These muscles are in the openings between the esophagus and stomach, and the stomach and small intestine. They are also found in the walls of the anus, the urethra, and the mouth. They open and close to control the passage of substances.

Types of Connective tissue
Tendons
Fascia
The muscular system is not only made up of muscle, but also some connective tissues as well.

17. Structures of the muscular system
Connective tissue
Tendons
dense bands that connect skeletal muscle to the bone
There are over 650 different muscles in the body. For any of these muscles to produce movement in any part of the body, it must be able to exert its fors upon a movable object. They must be attached to pones for leverage in order to have something to pull against. They only pull, the never push.
Muscles are attached to the bones of the skeleton by nonelastic cords called tendons. Bones are connected at joints

18. Structures of the muscular system
Connective tissue
Fascia
Fibrous connective tissue sheets that wrap around muscle bundles
These help to hold the muscles into place.

19. How do skeletal muscles get their names?
Location
Location of origin and insertion
Size
Action flexor
Direction
Extensor
Number of origins
Depressor
Location – Frontalis (forehead)
Size- gluteus maximus (largest muscle in the buttock)
Direction of fibers- external abdominal oblique (edge of the lower rib cage)
Number of origins- biceps (two-headed muscle in the humerus)
Location of origin and insertion- sternocleidomastoid (origin in the sternum)
Action flexor - flexor carpi ulnaris (flexes the wrist)
Levator and depressor – depressor anguli oris (depresses the corner of the mouth: raises or lowers body parts)
However,
not all muscles are named by the above methods!

Head & Neck Muscles
Head – muscles of expression such as anger, fear, grief, joy pleasure and pain. Muscles of mastication (chewing) to open and close the jaw. Muscles of the tongue, pharynx, soft palate. Muscles that move the head cause extension, flexion and rotation.
Neck – moving the head, muscles moving the hyoid bone and the larynx, muscles moving the upper ribs
