1
The Muscle System
2
Muscles Found in every organ of body Three types Skeletal Cardiac Smooth
3
Function of Muscles Movement Tension Heat generation
4
Muscle Anatomy
5
Anatomy of A Muscle
6
Single Muscle FiberFascicle Muscle
7
Muscle Fiber
8
Elongated Multinuleated Myofibrils running entire length SR surrounds each myofibril Mitochondria embedded throughout
9
Sarcomere The contractile unit
10
Anatomy of a MuscleMuscle Fascicle Single Muscle Fiber Muscle Fascicle Muscle Cell
11
Muscle Movement
12
Muscle Contraction All muscles work the same way –Contract and relax –All muscles are excitable: Nerves stimulate Muscle contracts
13
Mechanism of Nerve Stimulation 1. Nerve impulse reaches terminal 2. ACh released 3. ACh diffuses across cleft 4. ACh attaches to receptors 5. Sarcolemma becomes permeable to Na+ 6. Action Potential (charge) travels down cell
14
1. Calcium released from SR, triggering exposure of binding sites on actin 2. Myosin binds with actin 3. The power stroke: Actin filaments pulled - slide past myosin 4. ATP binds to cross bridge, disconnects from actin 5. ATP re-energizes cross bridge 6. Calcium ions go back to SR Mechanism of Muscle Contraction
15
Muscle Metabolism
16
ATP used to: –Energize myosin cross bridge –Disconnect myosin cross bridge from actin –Energize calcium pump
17
ATP: The Energy Source Adenine P P P Adenine P + Energy
18
Muscle cells use stored ATP Within seconds, stored ATP is used up The First Seconds of Contraction
19
20-ish Seconds of Contraction creatine phosphatecreatine ATP
20
40-ish Seconds of Intense Contraction pyruvic acid glycogen glucose 2 ATP lactic acid Anaerobic metabolism
21
Long Term Muscle Activity Aerobic metabolism glycogen glucose 36 ATP CO 2 + H 2 0
22
Muscle Metabolism Stored ATP Creatine Phosphate 1 ATP Anaerobic Metabolism Stored Glycogen 2 ATP Aerobic Metabolism Glucose/glycogen 36 ATP
23
Contraction Strength and Control
24
Motor Units A neuron and all the cells it stimulates All cells of motor unit contract together Size of motor unit determines precision
25
Recruitment Muscle recruitment: more motor units are activiated
26
Summation Summation: Rate of muscle stimulation is increased
27
White or Dark Muscle: Slow or Fast Twitch
28
Fast Twitch: White Muscle Rapid, powerful response Depend on anaerobic pathways Packed with actin and myosin Muscles fatigue rapidly
29
Slow Twitch: Red Muscle Contract slowly, but with great endurance Depend on aerobic pathways Packed with mitochondria, myoglobin
30
Strength training –Builds more fast-twitch myofibrils Aerobic training –Builds endurance –Increases blood supply to muscle cell Exercise and Training
31
Anabolic – induces muscle growth Mimic testosterone Stimulates protein formation in muscle cells May cause: –Increase in muscle strength without increase in tendon strength –Liver/heart disease –Sterility Anabolic Steroids
32
Androgenic Steroids Androgenic steroids – male/female hormones Andro – testosterone precursor
33
Side Effects of Steroids
34
Side Effects of Steroids
35
Facial Hair in Women
36
Gynecomastia
37
Diseases and Disorders
38
Muscular dystrophy Tetanus Muscle cramps Sprains/Strains Diseases and Disorders of the Muscular System
39
Muscular Dystrophy
40
Tetanus
41
Muscle Cramps
42
Sprains/Strains
43
Strength versus Size
44
Moving Bones
45
Skeletal Muscle Moves Bones More than 600 skeletal muscles Origin: attachment to stationary bone Insertion: attachment to moving bone origin insertion origin
46
Antagonistic Pairs Antagonistic muscles oppose each other
