Muscular System Chapter 9
4
3 types of muscular tissue:
5
Functions of muscular system Stabilize joints Muscle tone Movement Maintain constant body temperature
6
Muscle structure Fascia – connective tissue around muscle, becomes the tendon Origin – on stationary bone Insertion – on the moveable bone Fascicle – bundle of muscle fibers Muscle fiber – muscle cell Myofibril – made of sarcomeres (in-between two Z bands) Myo-filaments – actin and myosin
7
Group Actions Prime mover – the muscle that causes the desired movement Antagonist – relax during the action Synergists – muscles that steady the movement (helpers)
10
The Neuromuscular Junction: Neurons Parts of : Cell body Dendrites – receive impulse Axon – carries impulse away Myelin sheath- white fatty material Schwann cells (pns) Neurilemma (outside the sheath) Nodes of Ranvier
11
The Nerve Impulse Action potential – steps in the nerve impulse 3 stages of : polarization, depolarization, repolarization
12
Step 1: Polarization Resting state of a neuron Sodium/potassium pump – sodium ions out of cells and potassium ions into cells
13
Polarization continued Inside of the cell is – charged Outside of cell is + charged Due to sodium-potassium pump –2 K + ions go in as 3 Na ++ go out http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/intro b.html
15
Step 3: repolarization Return to resting state Due to the pumping out of K+. Na+ blocked Inside of cell negative Continues to synapse
16
The Sliding Filament theory: Step 1: Neuromuscular Junction Action potential – the reversal of charges across the plasma membrane. Nerve impulse arrives at axon terminal releasing acetylcholine (Ach)
18
Step 1: Neuromuscular Junction Ach diffuses across synaptic cleft, binds to receptors in the motor end plate. Triggers action potential Acetylcholinersteras e in cleft destroys Ach to stop action potential
20
Disorders at the neuromuscular junction Myasthenia gravis Botulism Curare tetanus
21
Step 2: Sarcoplasmic reticulum stimulated to release calcium ions.
22
Step 3 Release of Calcium causes shift in troponin (actin) Active site on Actin is uncovered
23
Step 4 Myosin and ATP combines with active site on actin causing formation of a crossbridge
24
Step 5 - 7 Energy released causing filaments to slide past each other (power strokes) ATP converted ADP Troponin slides back Cycle repeats if enough calcium and ATP are present Cycle repeats if enough calcium and ATP are present
25
Energy for contraction ATP (respiration) Creatine phosphate-can be stored longer and more abundant than ATP Glycogen-storage of glucose in liver
26
Oxygen Debt-strenuous exercise Lack of oxygen availability Accumulation of lactic acid (soreness) Become short of breath to metabolize lactic acid
27
Muscular Responses All or nothing response single fiber contracts only maximally –Threshold stimulus Recruitment -
28
Types of Whole muscle contraction Twitch contraction – not a usual method of muscle contraction
29
Summation - Muscle not allowed to relax in-between contractions Stronger contraction
30
Tetanus sustained muscle contraction (maintaining posture or tone) Usual means of movement
31
Isotonic vs. Isometric Isotonic contraction Movement produced as a muscle pulls on an attached bone toward a stationary structure Isometric contraction Muscle tension, no shortening of muscles No movement
33
Muscle Fiber types Based on genetics Classified by respiration and the speed of contraction Strength Training can influence
34
Fast Twitch Fibers Energy for quick, forceful contractions Contraction 2-3 times faster than slow twitch Anaerobic respiration Short term activities – basketball, sprinting, volleyball
35
Slow twitch muscle fibers Aerobic respiration Slow contracting Endurance type activities Ex. Long distance running, soccer, football, basketball
