  1. The Muscular System

  2. Muscle Function • produce movement • maintain posture • stabilize joints • generate heat

  3. Functional Characteristics • Excitability- respond to a stimulus • Contractility- ability to shorten forcibly when adequately stimulated • Extensibility- the ability to be stretched • Elasticity- the ability of a muscle fiber to resume its resting length after being stretched

  4. Skeletal Muscle • Striated • Multinucleate • Voluntary

  5. Cardiac Muscle • Striated • Uninucleate • Involuntary • Branching • Intercalated discs

  6. Smooth Muscle • Unstriated • Uninucleate • Involuntary • Hollow walled organs and blood vessels

  20. Stimulation of Skeletal Muscle

  21. Muscle Twitch period of relaxation period of contraction latent period stimulus

  22. Contraction Response

  23. Origin- fixed point of attachment; for biceps brachii O= clavicle and humerus Insertion- moveable, usually crosses a joint; O= radius Prime mover- - muscle group responsible for producing particular movement Antagonist- works opposite of prime mover Synergist-reduces undesirable or unnecessary movement Contraction of a muscle crossing 2 or more joints would cause movement of all if synergists weren’t there to stabilize it Ex. make a fist without bending wrist Fixator- specialized synergist- helps maintain posture; ex. muscles of the back fix scapula

  24. Antagonistic Muscles

  25. Naming skeletal muscles: • Direction of muscle fibers- straight, transverse • Size of muscles- maximus, minimus, longus, brevis • Location- frontalis, temporalis, occipitalis • # of origins- biceps, triceps, quadriceps • location of muscles origin and insertion- sternoclediomastoid- O= sternum and clavicle, I = mastoid process of temporal bone • shape of muscle- deltoid- triangle shape, trapezius- trapezoid shape • action of muscle- adductor muscle (adducts, brings in thigh)

  27. Frontal Obicularis oculi Temporalis Obicularis oris Masseter Sternoclediomastoid Deltoid Pectoralis major Biceps External oblique Rectus abdominus sartorius quadriceps Tibialis anterior

  29. Energy for muscle contraction: ATP is the only energy source ATP(ATPase + H2O) ADP + Pi • ATP is Generated by: • creatine phosphate • ADP + creatine phosphatecreatine + ATP • 2. lactic acid fermentation • From stored glycogen via anaerobic glycolysis; • glucosepyruvic acid (no O2) lactic acid • O2 • 3. aerobic respiration • Glucose  pyruvate  acetylCoA KrebsCO2 + H2O + ATP

  30. Slow-Twitch Versus Fast-TwitchMuscle Fibers

  31. Muscle Fiber Types • Fast glycolitic • Slow oxidative • Fast oxidative-glycolytic • Ratio- red:white (all 3 types in body)

  32. Fast glycolitic: • white muscle fibers • low myoglobin • anaerobic glycolysis • few mitochondria • fast twitch fibers • high glycogen stores • short bursts • fatigues easily

  33. Slow oxidative: • red muscle • aerobic • high myoglobin • low glycogen stores • lots mitochondria • slow • long distance

  34. Fast glycolitic-oxidative: • red  pink • aerobic • fast • high myoglobin • intermediate amt. of mitochondria • intermediate glycogen • intermediate fatigue resistance

  35. Red vs White Muscle • long distance blue fin tuna- mostly red meat • quick bursts- yellow tail- more white meat

  36. Long distance Runner- aerobic respiration Sprinter- anaerobic respiration

  37. Effects of Exercise • Disuse- atrophy • Muscles must be physically active if they are to remain healthy • Cast- muscle strength can decrease at a rate of 5%/ day; can use e- stimulus • Avoid muscle injuries: • warm up muscles- walk fast 5 minutes • then stretch- avoids pulls and tares

  38. Muscle Injuries • cramp- sustained spasm or tetanic contraction; may be due to low blood sugar levels, electrolyte depletion, dehydration • strain- muscle pull • spasm- tics • hernia- protrusion of organ through body cavity wall may be due to heavy wts.

  39. Isotonic and Isometric Contractions • Isotonic contraction • Contraction with a change in length • The muscle shortens and movement occurs. • Isometric contraction • Contraction without any change in length • The muscle does not shorten and there is no movement produced even though the muscle contracts.

  40. Isotonic and Isometric Contractions Isometric Isotonic

  41. Inquiry • Which type of muscle is found in the bladder? • What rod like structures makes up the muscle fiber (cell)? • What are the 2 major proteins found in the sarcomere? • Where is calcium stored? • What is a motor unit? • Which muscle helps you chew? • Which muscle helps you do sit-ups? • Which type of muscle contracts quickly but also fatigues quickly? • Which muscle fibers uses oxygen (red, white or pink)? • What is myoglobin and glycogen? • How should you avoid cramps?
