Exercise 14 Microscopic Anatomy, Organization, and
Classification of Skeletal Muscle
3
SKELETAL MUSCLE Voluntary or involuntary? Striated or not?
Multinucleate or uninucleate?
4
Terminology “Myo-” or “-Mys-” = muscle “Sarco-” = flesh

Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)
Transverse tubules Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) Smooth ER Terminal cisternae: enlarged portion of SR on either side of T tubule Triad = T tubule + 2 terminal cisternae Fig. 10-3

Sarcomeres Organized group of myofilaments Contractile units, smallest functional unit of muscle fiber Z-line to Z-line M line Z disc Z disc Thin (actin) filament Elastic (titin) filaments Thick (myosin) filament I band: LIGHT midline is Z line/disc Thin only A band: DARK Thick and thin M line in middle 11
12
Myofilaments Thick filaments: myosin “cross-bridges”
Contraction: myosin head changes shape & will grab onto actin…and pull it toward M-line Fig. 10-7
13
Myofilaments Thin filaments: 3 types of protein molecules actin
Tropomyosin Troponin
14
Connective Tissue Wrappings: 3 Layers
Epimysium = outer Perimysium = central Endomysium = inner
15
Connective Tissue Wrappings
Epimysium Epi = on (outside layer) Surrounds entire muscle
16
Connective Tissue Wrappings
Perimysium Peri = around (central layer) Divides muscle into compartments: Fascicle = bundle of muscle fibers (cells) Connective Tissue Wrappings Fig. 10-1
17
Connective Tissue Wrappings
Endomysium Endo = inside (inner layer) Surrounds individual skeletal muscle cells (fibers) Fig. 10-1
18
Connective Tissues, cont.
Layers continuous & interwoven – blend into one another Muscle’s ends: layers unite to form Bundle: TENDON Attach skeletal muscles to bones Contraction pulls the bone(s) Broad sheet: APONEUROSIS Attach skeletal muscles to bones or other muscles

Muscle—covered by epimysium Fascicles—covered by perimysium
Connective tissue layers! Muscle—covered by epimysium Fascicles—covered by perimysium Fiber (cell)—covered by endomysium Myofibril—covered by sarcoplasmic reticulum Sarcomere—contains thick and thin filaments

25
Blood & Nerve Supply Muscles need lots of energy, lots of oxygen
Blood vessels supply these Each fiber (cell) has capillary blood supply Contraction stimulated by nerve impulses Axons (nerve fibers) penetrate connective tissue layers, & innervate individual muscle fibers (cells)
26
How Muscles Contract: DVD
27
Neuromuscular Junction
Junction of motor neuron & a muscle fiber MOTOR Neuron —elongated portion = axon synaptic terminals synaptic cleft
28
Neuromuscular Junction
Synaptic terminals synaptic vesicles Filled with acetylcholine (ACh) Neurotransmitter Release triggers muscle contraction motor end plate Sarcolemma, has receptors to bind ACh
