MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Muscles and their types
Muscles are contractile tissues that
bring about movements of
different body parts. They can be regarded as motors of human body because they
provide all the force necessary to perform
different types of movements.
Types of muscles: Muscles are of three types; skeletal, smooth and cardiac.
Skeletal Muscles:
• They are also known as striped, striated, somatic and voluntary
muscles • They are the most abundant type and are found attached to the
skeleton. For this reason they are called skeletal muscles. • They are innervated by somatic nervous system and are
therefore under voluntary control. They obey the will of human beings.
• They respond quickly to stimuli and are capable of rapid contractions. They get fatigued easily because of their rapidity
• Each muscle fiber is multinucleated cylindrical cell containing groups of myofibrils. The myofibrils are in turn made up of myofilaments of three types namely actin, myosin, and tropomyosin. Thus the skeletal muscles have three structural levels namely muscle fibers, myofibrils and myofilaments.
• Examples of skeletal muscles include all muscles of body wall. • d cardiac.
Smooth muscles:
• They are also known as plain, unstriped, visceral and involuntary muscles. • Unlike skeletal muscles, they do not exhibit cross striations under the
microscope and thus they got the name “smooth”. • They are supplied by autonomic nervous system and therefore they are
involuntary in their action. They do not obey the will of human being. • They respond slowly to stimuli but are capable of long time sustained
contractions. They do not get fatigued easily because of their slowness of response.
• They provide motor power for regulating internal environment related to digestion, circulation, secretion and excretion.
• Each smooth muscle fiber is an elongated spindle shaped cell with a single nucleus placed at the center. They also possess actin and myosin filaments but the structural arrangement of these filaments is very different as compared to the skeletal muscles.
• Examples of smooth muscles include muscles of blood vessels, and muscles of the gut etc.
Cardiac muscles:
• They form the myocardium of human heart.
• Cardiac muscle is intermediate in structure lying between the skeletal and smooth muscles. They are striated like skeletal muscles but at the same time they are involuntary and have uninuclear cells like smooth muscles.
• They are meant for automatic rhythmic contractions for long period of time.
• Each muscle fiber has a single centrally placed nucleus.
Parts of a typical skeletal muscle • A typical skeletal muscle consists of
two ends and two parts
Ends: A typical skeletal muscle consists of two ends. These are; Origin is one end of the muscle which remains fixed during its contraction. Insertion is the other end which moves during its contraction. In the limb muscles, the origin is usually proximal to insertion. Parts: A typical skeletal muscle consists of two parts. These are; Fleshy part is contractile, and is called the ‘belly’. Fibrous part is non-contractile and inelastic. When cord-like or rope-like, it is called tendon; when flattened, it is called aponeurosis. The fleshy part of the muscle, the belly, is red in color while the fibrous part is white in color. The difference in color makes it easy to differentiate the active contractile area of the muscle from the non-contractile part.
Basic structure of a skeletal muscle A typical skeletal muscle consists of two types
of tissues: Contractile tissue and Supporting tissue.
Contractile tissue: The contractile tissue of each muscle is composed of numerous muscle fibers. Each muscle fiber is a multinucleated, cross-striated cylindrical cell. The length of each muscle fiber is between 1 and 300 mm. It consists of a cell membrane (sarcolemma), which encloses the cytoplasm (sarcoplasm). There are two types of substances embedded in the sarcoplasm. Several nuclei arranged at the periphery beneath the sarcolemma. A number of evenly distributed longitudinal threads called myofibrils.
Actions of skeletal muscles
• Antagonists:
Prime movers (agonists) bring about the desired movement.
Antagonists (opponents) oppose the prime movers. They help the prime movers by active controlled relaxation, so that the desired movement is smooth and precise. Thus, the antagonists cooperate rather than oppose the prime movers. This is due to reciprocal innervation of the opposite groups of muscles, regulated by the spinal cord through stretch reflex.
Prime Movers:
Fixators: Fixators are the groups of muscles which stabilize the proximal joints of a limb, so that the desired movement at the distal joint may occur on a fixed base. Muscles acting on shoulder joint fix it for better movement of fingers.
Synergists: When the prime movers cross more than one joint, the
undesired actions at the proximal joints are prevented by certain
muscles known as synergists. For example, during making a
tight fist by long digital flexors the wrist is kept fixed in extension
by the synergists (extensors of wrist). Thus, the synergists are
special fixators and partial antagonists to the prime movers. Two
or more muscles causing one movement are synergist.
