Mechanics of muscle contraction VI. Energy source for muscle contraction Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Muscular System Recall there are different types of muscles: smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. All muscle cells are elongated, and therefore are called muscle fibers. All muscle tissues contract. Muscles contain muscle fibers, connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Smooth Muscle Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles found in the walls of many internal organs (digestive tract, respiratory system, blood vessels). They aid in the function of other organs. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Cardiac Muscle Cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles found only in the heart wall. They function by contracting, which forces blood from the heart into the arteries. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles attached to the skeleton. They usually work in pairs. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Skeletal Muscles Work in Pairs Most skeletal muscles work in antagonistic pairs: One muscle contracts, while the other relaxes. Muscles are attached to the bone by tendons. Skeletal muscles are usually attached to two bones on opposite sides of a joint. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Skeletal Muscles Work in Pairs The origin of the muscle is attached to the bone that remains stationary during movement. The insertion is attached to the bone that moves. Bones act as levers in working with skeletal muscles to produce movement. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Skeletal Muscles Work in Pairs Origin of muscle: attachment of muscle to less moveable bone The biceps contracts and pulls the forearm up, flexing the arm. The relaxed triceps is stretched. (a) Flexion Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Insertion of muscle: attachment of muscle to more moveable bone Figure 6.1a Functions of Skeletal Muscles 1. Support the body – maintain posture 2. Movement of bones and other tissues 3. Help maintain a constant body temperature – generate heat 4. Help move blood through the veins and lymphatic fluid through the lymphatic vessels 5. Help to protect vital organs and stabilize joints Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Structure of Skeletal Muscles Muscles are covered by connective tissue called fascia. A muscle contains bundles of skeletal muscle fibers (muscle cells): The bundles are called fascicles. These bundles are covered by connective tissue. Blood vessels and nerves are between the fascicles. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Structure of Skeletal Muscles Skeletal muscle consists of many bundles of muscle cells. A muscle cell consists of many myofibrils. A bundle of muscle cells is called a fascicle. (a) A section of a skeletal muscle The striped (striated) appearance of a skeletal muscle cell is due to the regular arrangement of myofilaments. (b) A light micrograph of a longitudinal view of skeletal muscle cells Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 6.3a–b Muscle Cell Components Muscle cells (muscle fibers) have many of the same components as typical cells, but some of their components have different names… Sarcolemma – plasma membrane (cell membrane). Sarcoplasm – similar to cytoplasm, and contains large amounts of stored glycogen and myoglobin. Myoglobin is an oxygen-binding protein similar to hemoglobin, but found only in muscles. Sarcoplasmic reticulum – similar to endoplasmic reticulum, and functions as a Ca2+ store. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Muscle Cell Components Muscle fibers also have unique features: Multiple nuclei Transverse tubules (T tubules) – extensions of the sarcolemma that come into contact with the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Z line Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. e. sarcomere f. sarcolemma Muscle Cells (Fibers) The muscle fiber is composed of long, thin myofibrils. Myofibrils are bundles of myofilaments that contract: There are two types of myofilaments: actin and myosin. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Muscle Contraction A sarcomere is the name for the structural unit of these myofilaments. When you look at the myofibril, the sarcomere lies between two dark lines called Z lines: The Z lines are protein sheets where the actin filaments attach. When muscle fibers are stimulated to contract, myofilaments slide past one another, causing sarcomeres to shorten. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 6.3c–d Myofilaments – Actin and Myosin The two myofilaments are: Actin filaments: thin filaments that are formed by two intertwining strands of the protein actin. Myosin filaments: thick filaments of the protein myosin that are shaped like a golf club with a round “head”. The myosin heads can bind and detach from the thin actin filament. When bound, they create cross-bridges. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Muscle Contraction A neuron signals the muscle to contract. The myosin heads attach to the actin, and then pull the actin toward the center of the sarcomere. The myosin heads detach. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Sarcomeres Shorten During Muscle Contraction Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 6.4 Steps of Muscle Contraction 1. Action potentials are transmitted through the neurons. 2. At the end of the neurons, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft. 3. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the sarcolemma. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Neuromuscular Junction Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 6.7 (1 of 2) Steps of Muscle Contraction 4. These receptors are ion channels that open. 5. An action potential travels through the T tubules of the muscle fiber. 6. The action potential goes to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 7. The sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca2+. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Steps of Muscle Contraction 8. The calcium binds to the troponin on the actin filament. 9. This uncovers the binding site for the myosin to attach. 10. Now the myosin binds to the actin. 11. ATP is needed for the myosin to slide past the actin. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Sarcomeres Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 6.6 (1 of 2) Sarcomeres Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 6.6 (2 of 2) Tropomyosin-Troponin Complex The tropomyosin-troponin complex is attached to the actin filament. Calcium binds to the troponin, causing a shift in the complex, which opens the sites for myosin to attach. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. A bundle of muscle cells is called a: 1.

ATP is needed for the myofilaments to slide past each other Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. ATP ATP is the energy currency – like money in the bank! The bonds between the phosphate groups are high energy bonds. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The Energy Sources Muscle contractions take a lot of energy in the form of ATP. Muscles get their ATP from three sources: 1. Breakdown of creatine phosphate 2. Cellular respiration 3. Fermentation Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 1. Creatine Phosphate Creatine phosphate regenerates ADP to make ATP. This gives quick energy for a few seconds (up to 30 seconds). Only 1 ATP is produced per creatine phosphate. Oxygen is not needed. When a muscle is resting, the ATP in turn regenerates creatine phosphate. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 2. Cellular Respiration In the mitochondria, glucose is broken down to produce ATP. Remember that oxygen is needed for the electron transport chain to produce ATP. Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product during the Krebs Cycle of cellular respiration. Can provide energy for hours. Produces 36 ATP per glucose molecule. Can use glucose, as well as fatty acids and amino acids, for the energy source. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 3. Fermentation This is when the cell only uses glycolysis, and glucose is broken down to lactic acid. Since the Krebs Cycle and the electron transport chain are skipped, no oxygen is required. No CO2 is produced as a waste product, but lactic acid is produced. Can provide energy for 30 – 60 seconds. Only 2 ATP produced per glucose molecule. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
