• Muscle- fibrous tissue with the ability to contract, producing movement in or maintaining the position of an animal body
• System- organized arrangement; network….
• Set of connected fibrous tissue that work together to produce movement

• Provide muscle tone• Propel body fluids and food• Generate the heartbeat• Distribute heat throughout the body
![Page 4: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Skeletal muscle•Moves majority of the body
• Smooth muscle•Helps most with digestive system
• Cardiac muscle•Controls the heartbeat

• Location: all skeletal muscles- attach to bones
• Function: movement of bones at joints and maintaining posture
• Voluntary• Contracts and relaxes quickly• Transverse tubule system is well-
developed
![Page 6: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Composed of:•skeletal muscle tissue •nervous tissue•blood•connective tissue
![Page 7: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Fascia- layers of fibrous connective tissue•covers and separates each muscle surface
• Epimysium- lies beneath the fascia• Perimysium- surrounds individual bundles of fibers (fascicles)
• Endomysium- connective tissue layer that separates individual muscle fibers
![Page 8: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Cells that contract in response to stimulation and then relax after the stimulation ends
• Thin and elongated cylinders with rounded ends
• Can extend full length of a muscle
![Page 10: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Sarcolemma- muscle fiber membrane↓
• Sarcoplasm- cytoplasm↓
• Myofibrils- protein filaments which lie parallel and play great role in contraction• Types: Myosin- thicker, called A bands (dark)Actin- thinner, called I bands (light)
↓
• Sarcomere- space from center of one I band to the next I band
![Page 11: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Sarcoplasmic Reticulum- network of membranous channels that surround each myofibril and run parellel
• Transverse Tubules (T tubules)- network of membranous channels between sarcoplasm that open outside
• Both- activate muscle contraction mechanism when the fiber is stimulated
![Page 12: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Site where the motor neuron and muscle fiber meet
• Muscle fiber is specialized to form a motor end plate
• End branches, has many mitochondria and contains synaptic vesicles that store chemicals
• Neurotransmitter stimulates muscle fibers to release acetylcholine
• Travels down a motor neuron axon and stimulates muscle fiber contraction
![Page 14: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Includes one motor neuron and several muscle fibers•The motor neuron transmits an impulse, which allows all the linked muscle fibers to contract at the same time
![Page 16: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Sarcomeres shorten and the muscle is pulled against its attachments
• Sliding Filament Model• Myosin cross-bridge attaches to the binding site on the actin filament and bends, causing a pull on the actin filament
• Myosin releases and attaches to the next binding site on the actin, causing a pull• ATP converts to ADP
• Repeats this cycle as long as the energy source ATP is available and the muscle fiber is stimulated to contract
![Page 17: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Stimulated by acetylcholine (neurotransmitter)
• Motor neuron releases acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft to initiate contraction
• Motor end plate has protein receptors which detect acetylcholine
• Muscle impulse travels over sarcolemma surface and into T tubules, reaching the sarcoplasmic reticulum
![Page 18: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Stored calcium ions in the sarcoplasmic reticulum get released into the sarcoplasm
• Troponin and tropomyosin (proteins associated with actin) move to expose the myosin binding sites on the actin filaments due to the concentration of calcium
• Muscle shortens because myosin binds and pulls on actin
• After received- acetylcholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine, calcium returns to sarcoplasmic reticulum, and myosin and actin links break
![Page 19: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• ATP molecules provides the energy•Must be regenerated because it has a limited supply
• Creatine phosphate•Energy can be transferred to ADP molecules, converting them back ATP molecules as ATP is decomposing
![Page 20: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Cellular respiration makes a few ATP molecules in early phases
• Muscles require oxygen • Glucose in broken down completely in
mitochondria • Blood carries oxygen, bound to the
pigment hemoglobin• The pigment myoglobin stores the
oxygen in muscle tissue
![Page 21: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• The amount of oxygen that liver cells need to convert lactic acid into glucose, and the amount muscle cells must have to recreate the original concentration of ATP and creatine phosphate
• Develops during strenuous activity•Pyruvic acid builds up during anaerobic respiration and diffuses out of muscle cells into the liver
• May take hours to repay
![Page 22: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• When a muscle can no longer contract
• Usually from a build up of lactic acid in the muscle, which lowers pH and results in muscle fibers to not respond to stimulation
• Cramps- a muscle has a sustained involuntary contraction
![Page 23: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• More than half of energy released in cellular respiration becomes heat
• All active cells generate heat, but muscle cells make up a large majority of a bodies total mass
• Blood moves heat from muscle to other tissues, maintaining body temperature
![Page 24: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Location: walls of hollow internal organs, blood vessels
• Function: to move food through the digestive system and constrict blood vessels
• Involuntary• Contracts and relaxes slowly• Rhythmic• No transverse tubules
![Page 25: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Major types:• Multiunit: muscle fibers are separate
• Usually contract in response to stimulation by certain hormones or motor nerve impulses
• Visceral: organized in sheets • Are found in walls of hollow organs• Can stimulate others, displaying rhythmically• Responsible for involuntary wavelike motion
called peristalsis
![Page 26: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Reactions of actin and myosin• Triggered by membrane impulses and
increased intracellular calcium ions• Uses energy from ATP • Neurotransmitters are acetylcholine
and norepinephrine• Affected by hormones• Fibers can change length without
changing tension
![Page 27: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Location: wall of the heart ONLY• Function: pumping action of the heart• Involuntary• Network of cells contract as a unit• Rhythmic• Transverse tubule system is well-
developed• Intercalated discs separating
adjacent cells
![Page 28: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Intercalated discs communicate a muscle impulse throughout entire heart•Allows the hearts muscle fibers to beat as a single unit
• Network responds in an all-or-none manner
![Page 29: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Threshold Stimulus- the minimal strength required to cause a contraction•Muscle fibers remain unresponsive until reached
![Page 30: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• All-or-None Response- if a muscle fiber contracts at all, it contracts fully
• There is no partial contraction• Once threshold stimulus is reached,
fiber responds to fullest contraction
![Page 31: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Recording a Muscle Contraction:•Myogram- the pattern resulting from a movement when connected to a device
•Twitch- a single contraction that lasts only a fraction of a second
•Latent period- the delay between the time of stimulation and the time the fiber responds
![Page 32: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
(a) Series of twitches
(b) Summation
(c) Tetanic Contraction
![Page 33: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Summation- when the stimulus of the next series arrives before the muscle fiber can completely relax
• Tetanic Contraction- when a forceful, sustained contraction lacks any relaxation
![Page 34: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Recruitment of Motor Units:•Recruitment- the number of motor units activated as a result of a higher intensity of stimulation• The addiction of muscle fibers to take part in a contraction
![Page 35: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Sustained Contractions:•Produced by summation and recruitment together
• Increasing strength•Muscle tone- fibers undergo some sustained contraction even when muscles appear to be relaxed• Keeps posture maintained
![Page 36: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Muscular hypertrophy: muscles enlarging in size and strength due to forceful exercise
• Muscular atrophy: muscles decreasing in size and strength due to lack of exercise
• Size is relative to strength•Capillary networks, actin and myosin filaments, and number of mitochondria
![Page 37: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Slow twitch fibers: lower intensity and able to resist fatigue, but may not increase muscle size•Running or swimming
• Fast twitch fibers: higher intensity and increase muscle size, but are fatigable•Lifting weights
![Page 38: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Variety of movements• Movement depends on:
•The kind of joint•How the muscle attaches
![Page 39: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Origin: the immovable end of a muscle• Insertion: the movable end of a muscle• The insertion is pulled towards the
origin when contraction occurs• Flexion and extension tell about the
angle between bones that meet at a joint
![Page 40: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Almost always function in groups• Must will movement to occur and
nervous system allows correct muscles to stimulate
• Prime Mover/Agonist: muscle responsible for a particular movement
• Synergist: muscles that contract and assist the prime mover
• Antagonists: muscles that resist the action of the prime mover
![Page 41: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Tendinitis- a tendon (attaches muscle to bone) becomes inflamed and swollen after injury or repeated stress during activity
• Muscle strain- connective tissues are overstretched and the degree of damage and seriousness varies
![Page 42: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Botulinum toxin- blocks stimulation of muscle fibers, paralyzing muscles•“Botox” to temporarily smooth wrinkles by not allowing to move facial muscles
• Steroids- (+) increase muscular strength and used for medical purposes, (-) cause changes of opposite sex and damage internal organs
![Page 43: The Muscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070405/56813d55550346895da71577/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Muscular Dystrophies• Missing proteins
• Muscles weaken and degenerate
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease• A duplicate gene
• Weakens hands and feet, and tendon reflexes
• Myotonic Dystrophy• An extending gene
• Muscle weakness and irregular heartbeats
• Hereditary Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy• A glitch
• Rare form of heart failure in actin
