Muscle Tissue
• Nearly half of body's mass
• Transforms chemical energy (ATP) to
directed mechanical energy  exerts
force
• Three types
– Skeletal
– Cardiac
– Smooth
• Myo, mys, and sarco - prefixes for muscle
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Types of Muscle Tissue
• Skeletal muscles
– Elongated cells called muscle fibers
– Striated (striped)
– Voluntary (i.e., conscious control)
– Contract rapidly; tire easily; powerful
– Require nervous system stimulation
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Types of Muscle Tissue
• Cardiac muscle
– Only in heart
– Striated
– Can contract without nervous system
stimulation
– Involuntary
– More details in Chapter 18

Types of Muscle Tissue
• Smooth muscle
– In walls of hollow organs, e.g., stomach,
urinary bladder, and airways
– Not striated
– Can contract without nervous system
stimulation
– Involuntary

Special Characteristics of Muscle Tissue
• Excitability (responsiveness): ability to
receive and respond to stimuli
• Contractility: ability to shorten forcibly
when stimulated
• Extensibility: ability to be stretched
• Elasticity: ability to recoil to resting length
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Muscle Functions
• Four important functions
– Movement of bones or fluids (e.g., blood)
– Maintaining posture and body position
– Stabilizing joints
– Heat generation (especially skeletal muscle)
• Additional functions
– Protects organs, forms valves, controls pupil
size, causes "goosebumps"
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Skeletal Muscle
• Connective tissue sheaths of skeletal
muscle
– Support cells; reinforce whole muscle
– External to internal
• Epimysium: dense irregular connective tissue
surrounding entire muscle; may blend with fascia
• Perimysium: fibrous connective tissue
surrounding fascicles (groups of muscle fibers)
• Endomysium: fine areolar connective tissue
surrounding each muscle fiber

Skeletal Muscle: Attachments
• Attach in at least two places
– Insertion – movable bone
– Origin – immovable (less movable) bone
• Attachments direct or indirect
– Direct—epimysium fused to periosteum of
bone or perichondrium of cartilage
– Indirect—connective tissue wrappings extend
beyond muscle as ropelike tendon or
sheetlike aponeurosis

Myofibril Banding Pattern
• Orderly arrangement of actin and myosin
myofilaments within sarcomere
– Actin myofilaments = thin filaments
• Extend across I band and partway in A band
– Myosin myofilaments = thick filaments
• Extend length of A band

Ultrastructure of Thin Filament
• Tropomyosin and troponin - regulatory
proteins bound to actin

In the center of the sarcomere, the thick filaments
lack myosin heads. Myosin heads are present only
in areas of myosin-actin overlap.
Thick filament.
Thin filament
Each thick filament consists of many myosin
molecules whose heads protrude at opposite ends
of the filament.

A thin filament consists of two strands of actin
subunits twisted into a helix plus two types of

cleft and binds to its receptors on
the sarcolemma.
5 ACh binding opens ion
channels in the receptors that
allow simultaneous passage of
Na+ into the muscle fiber and K+
out of the muscle fiber. More Na+
ions enter than K+ ions exit,
which produces a local change
in the membrane potential called
the end plate potential.

6 ACh effects are terminated by
its breakdown in the synaptic
cleft by acetylcholinesterase and
diffusion away from the junction.

Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ)
• Situated midway along length of muscle fiber
• Axon terminal and muscle fiber separated by
gel-filled space called synaptic cleft
• Synaptic vesicles of axon terminal contain
neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Events at the Neuromuscular Junction
• Nerve impulse arrives at axon terminal 
ACh released into synaptic cleft
• ACh diffuses across cleft and binds with
receptors on sarcolemma 
• Electrical events  generation of action
potential

Figure 9.11 Excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling is the sequence of events by which transmission of an
action potential along the sarcolemma leads to the sliding of myofilaments.
Slide 1
Steps in E-C Coupling:
Setting the stage
The events at the neuromuscular
junction (NMJ) set the stage for
E-C coupling by providing
excitation. Released acetylcholine
binds to receptor proteins on the
sarcolemma and triggers an action
potential in a muscle fiber.

1 The action potential (AP)
propagates along the
sarcolemma and down the
T tubules.
2 Calcium ions are released.
Transmission of the AP along the
T tubules of the triads causes the
voltage-sensitive tubule proteins to
change shape. This shape change
opens the Ca2+ release channels in
the terminal cisterns of the
sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR),
allowing Ca2+ to flow into the
cytosol.

3 Calcium binds to
troponin and removes
the blocking action of
tropomyosin. When Ca2+
binds, troponin changes
shape, exposing binding
sites for myosin (active
sites) on the thin filaments.
4 Contraction begins:
Myosin binding to actin
forms cross bridges and
contraction (cross bridge
cycling) begins. At this
point, E-C coupling is over.
The aftermath
When the muscle AP ceases, the voltage-sensitive tubule proteins return
to their original shape, closing the Ca2+ release channels of the SR. Ca2+
levels in the sarcoplasm fall as Ca2+ is continually pumped back into the
SR by active transport. Without Ca2+, the blocking action of tropomyosin
is restored, myosin-actin interaction is inhibited, and relaxation occurs.
Each time an AP arrives at the neuromuscular junction, the sequence of
E-C coupling is repeated.

Homeostatic Imbalance
• Rigor mortis
– Cross bridge detachment requires ATP
– 3–4 hours after death muscles begin to stiffen
with weak rigidity at 12 hours post mortem
• Dying cells take in calcium  cross bridge
formation
• No ATP generated to break cross bridges
