Structure and Function

Functions of the muscular system

Aid in movement
 Provide and maintain posture
 Protect internal organs
 Provide movement of blood, food, and waste
products through the body
 Open and close body openings
 Produce heat

Skeletal Muscle



Makes up more than 40% of a person’s
body weight
Looks striated, or banded, under the
microscope
Skeletal muscles have three parts:



Origin is one end of the muscle, attached to the
less movable part of the bone.
Insertion is the other end of the muscle,
attached to the more movable part of the bone.
The action, or body, is the thick middle part of
the muscle.

12
Visceral Muscle





Lines various hollow organs
Makes up the walls of blood vessels
Found in the tubes of the digestive system
Smooth and has no striations
Controlled by the autonomic nervous system

13
Cardiac Muscle




Found only in the heart
Striated muscle
Under involuntary control
Has specialized cells that provide a stimulus
for contraction

14
Muscle Contraction




Isotonic contraction is muscle shortening that
produces movement.
Muscle tone, or tonus, is a state of partial
contraction that maintains a person’s posture.
Isometric contraction does not cause muscle
shortening or movement.
A twitch is a quick, jerky contraction of a
whole muscle from one stimulus.

15
Muscle Contraction




Tetanic contraction is more sustained than a
twitch.
Fibrillation is uncoordinated contraction of
muscle fibers.
Convulsions are contractions of groups of
muscles in an abnormal manner.
Spasms are involuntary, sudden, and
prolonged contractions.
