2. 2 Chapter 9 Muscular System Three Types of Muscle Tissues Skeletal Muscle usually attached to bones under conscious control striated Smooth Muscle walls of most viscera, blood vessels, skin not under conscious control not striated Cardiac Muscle wall of heart not under conscious control striated

3. 3 Structure of a Skeletal Muscle Skeletal Muscle organ of the muscular system - skeletal muscle tissue - nervous tissue - blood - connective tissues fascia tendons aponeuroses

4. 4 Connective Tissue Coverings epimysium perimysium fascicles endomysium muscle fascicles muscle fibers myofibrils thick and thin filaments

5. 5 Skeletal Muscle Fibers sarcolemma sacroplasm sarcoplasmic reticulum transverse tubule triad cisternae of sarcoplasmic reticulum transverse tubule myofibril actin filaments myosin filaments sarcomere

6. 6 Sarcomere I bands A bands H zone Z lines M line

7. 7 Myofilaments Thick Filaments composed of myosin cross-bridges Thin Filaments composed of actin associated with troponin and tropomyosin

8. 8 Neuromuscular Junction also known as myoneural junction site where an axon and muscle fiber meet motor neuron motor end plate synapse synaptic cleft synaptic vesicles neurotransmitters

9. 9 Motor Unit single motor neuron all muscle fibers controlled by motor neuron

10. 10 Stimulus for Contraction acetylcholine (ACh) nerve impulse causes release of ACh from synaptic vesicles ACh binds to ACh receptors on motor end plate generates a muscle impulse muscle impulse eventually reaches sarcoplasmic reticulum and the cisternae

11. 11 Synaptic Transmission Neurotransmitters are released when impulse reaches synaptic knob

12. 12 Excitation Contraction Coupling muscle impulses cause sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions into cytosol calcium binds to troponin to change its shape position of tropomyosin is altered binding sites on actin are exposed actin and myosin molecules bind

13. 13 Sliding Filament Model of Muscle Contraction When sarcromeres shorten, thick and thin filaments slide past one another H zones and I bands narrow Z lines move closer together

14. 14 Cross-bridge Cycling myosin cross-bridge attaches to actin binding site myosin cross-bridge pulls thin filament ADP and phosphate released from myosin new ATP binds to myosin linkage between actin and myosin cross-bridge break ATP splits myosin cross-bridge goes back to original position

15. 15 Relaxation acetylcholinesterase – rapidly decomposes Ach remaining in the synapse muscle impulse stops stimulus to sarcolemma and muscle fiber membrane ceases calcium moves back into sarcoplasmic reticulum myosin and actin binding prevented muscle fiber relaxes

16. 16 Major Events of Muscle Contraction and Relaxation

17. 17 Energy Sources for Contraction creatine phosphate – stores energy that quickly converts ADP to ATP 1) Creatine phosphate2) Cellular respiration

18. 18 Oxygen Supply and Cellular Respiration Anaerobic Phase glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm produces little ATP Aerobic Phase citric acid cycle electron transport chain occurs in the mitochondria produces most ATP myoglobin stores extra oxygen

19. 19 Cellular Respiration Occurs in three series of reactions 1.Glycolysis 2.Citric acid cycle 3.Electron transport chain Produces carbon dioxide water ATP (chemical energy) heat Includes anaerobic reactions (without O 2 ) - produce little ATP aerobic reactions (requires O 2 ) - produce most ATP

20. 20 ATP Molecules each ATP molecule has three parts: an adenine molecule a ribose molecule three phosphate molecules in a chain third phosphate attached by high-energy bond when the bond is broken, energy is transferred when the bond is broken, ATP becomes ADP ADP becomes ATP through phosphorylation phosphorylation requires energy released from cellular respiration

21. 21 Glycolysis series of ten reactions breaks down glucose into 2 pyruvic acid molecules occurs in cytosol anaerobic phase of cellular respiration yields two ATP molecules per glucose Summarized by three main events 1. phosphorylation 2. splitting 3. production of NADH and ATP

22. 22 Anaerobic Reactions If oxygen is not available - electron transport chain cannot accept new electrons from NADH pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid glycolysis is inhibited ATP production less than in aerobic reactions

23. 23 Aerobic Reactions If oxygen is available – pyruvic acid is used to produce acetyl CoA citric acid cycle begins electron transport chain functions carbon dioxide and water are formed 36 molecules of ATP produced per glucose molecule

24. 24 Summary of Cellular Respiration

25. 25 Oxygen Debt oxygen not available glycolysis continues pyruvic acid converted to lactic acid liver converts lactic acid to glucose Oxygen debt – amount of oxygen needed by liver cells to use the accumulated lactic acid to produce glucose

26. 26 Muscle Fatigue inability to contract commonly caused from decreased blood flow ion imbalances across the sarcolemma accumulation of lactic acid cramp – sustained, involuntary muscle contraction

27. 27 Heat Production by-product of cellular respiration muscle cells are major source of body heat blood transports heat throughout body

28. 28 Length-Tension Relationship

29. 29 Recruitment of Motor Units recruitment - increase in the number of motor units activated whole muscle composed of many motor units more precise movements are produced with fewer muscle fibers within a motor unit as intensity of stimulation increases, recruitment of motor units continues until all motor units are activated

30. 30 Sustained Contractions smaller motor units (smaller diameter axons) - recruited first larger motor units (larger diameter axons) - recruited later produce smooth movements muscle tone – continuous state of partial contraction

31. 31 Types of Contractions isotonic – muscle contracts and changes length concentric – shortening contraction eccentric – lengthening contraction isometric – muscle contracts but does not change length

32. 32 Fast and Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers Slow-twitch fibers (type I) always oxidative resistant to fatigue red fibers most myoglobin good blood supply Fast-twitch glycolytic fibers (type IIa) white fibers (less myoglobin) poorer blood supply susceptible to fatigue Fast-twitch fatigue- resistant fibers (type IIb) intermediate fibers oxidative intermediate amount of myoglobin pink to red in color resistant to fatigue

33. 33 Smooth Muscle Fibers Compared to skeletal muscle fibers shorter single, centrally located nucleus elongated with tapering ends myofilaments randomly organized lack striations lack transverse tubules sarcoplasmic reticula not well developed

34. 34 Types of Smooth Muscle Visceral Smooth Muscle single-unit smooth muscle sheets of muscle fibers fibers held together by gap junctions exhibit rhythmicity exhibit peristalsis walls of most hollow organs Multiunit Smooth Muscle less organized function as separate units fibers function separately irises of eye walls of blood vessels

35. 35 Smooth Muscle Contraction Resembles skeletal muscle contraction interaction between actin and myosin both use calcium and ATP both are triggered by membrane impulses Different from skeletal muscle contraction smooth muscle lacks troponin smooth muscle uses calmodulin two neurotransmitters affect smooth muscle acetlycholine and norepinephrine hormones affect smooth muscle stretching can trigger smooth muscle contraction smooth muscle slower to contract and relax smooth muscle more resistant to fatigue smooth muscle can change length without changing tautness

36. 36 Cardiac Muscle located only in the heart muscle fibers joined together by intercalated discs fibers branch network of fibers contracts as a unit self-exciting and rhythmic longer refractory period than skeletal muscle

37. 37 Clinical Application Myasthenia Gravis autoimmune disorder receptors for ACh on muscle cells are attacked weak and easily fatigued muscles result difficulty swallowing and chewing ventilator needed if respiratory muscles are affected treatments include drugs that boost ACh removing thymus gland immunosuppressant drugs antibodies
