THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Function: locomotion
Types of muscles in vertebrates •Involuntary (Smooth)- associated with viscera; no striations
•Voluntary (striated) skeletal muscles; under conscious control
•Involuntary striated cardiac muscles- found in the heart

• Tendons– Straps of densely connective tissue attaching muscles to
bones

• Muscles in movable joints of vertebrates are attached in opposing pairs:– Flexors and Extensors

Muscular Contraction- THE SLIDING FILAMENT THEORY
![Page 8: 5. muscular system](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/55493ed7b4c905144d8b509a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
•Thin filaments slide across the thick filaments to pull the Z lines together and shorten the sarcomere •I Bands shorten and H zone disappears •sarcomeres in myofibril shorten, they are pulled toward the center of the myofibril and the muscle to contract to about half of its resting length

How Muscles Work
• When myosin filaments contract heads of myosin filaments move first, moving them closer in the direction of the flex.
• Role of Calcium Ions in Contraction– When muscle is relaxed, attachment sites for
myosin heads are physically blocked by tropomyosin.
• In order to contract a muscle, troponin must move tropomyosin.
– Complex regulated calcium ion concentration.
» Muscle fibers store Ca++ in sarcoplasmic reticulum.
