1. A2 Physiology Learning Outcomes Introduce the content of the course
All able to remember the structure and function of skeletal muscles
Most can understand how the theory applies to our muscles function.
Some will be able to create links between the structure and movement

2. A2 Physiology Introducing me activity Lesson structure
A2 Physiology content
Weebly

3. Homework Read pages p32-39 A2 Physical Education textbook
Prepare for exam question on skeletal muscle
Watch video on weebly and complete sheet on sliding filament theory.

4. Functions of the muscular system
Movement;
Helps other body systems to work; i.e. Circulatory and Respiratory Systems.
Develops strength and speed.
Why is this important to know?

5. Types of muscle
3 different types of muscle

6. Structure of the Skeletal muscle
Task: Fill in missing gaps on diagram
Useful NB: There are often common prefixes in anatomy and physiology that may help you remember i.e.
· epi means upon or on;
· peri means around;
· endo means within;
· myo means muscle

7. Structure of the Skeletal muscle
Task: Use definitions to complete the first half of the table on structure

8. Structure of the Skeletal muscle
Individual muscle fibres are made up of hundreds of smaller elements called__________________.
These contain proteins responsible for muscles contraction, _________ and _____________.
Together they form the contractile units, the ______________.
