PowerPoint® Lecture Slide Presentation by Patty Bostwick-Taylor, Florence-Darlington Technical College The Muscular System 6 PART A Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Muscular System Muscles are responsible for movement through contraction Three basic muscle types are found in the body Skeletal muscle Cardiac muscle Smooth muscle - skeletal & smooth muscle cells are elongated & are called muscle fibers - muscle terminology – prefixes myo- and mys- (“muscle”) & sarco- (“flesh”) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Comparison of Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth Muscles Table 6.1 (1 of 2) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Comparison of Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth Muscles Table 6.1 (2 of 2) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 1. Skeletal Muscle Characteristics - contain multinucleate cells - Striated - having visible bands/stripes - under voluntary or conscious control Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings a. Connective Tissue Wrappings of Skeletal Muscle - Endomysium - covers each muscle fiber - Fascicle - bundle of muscle fibers - Perimysium - covers each fascicle - Epimysium - covers the entire muscle - epimysium blends into either a cordlike tendon which is dense/fibrous connective tissue or a sheetlike aponeuroses which attach muscles indirectly Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Connective Tissue Wrappings of Skeletal Muscle Figure 6.1 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2. Smooth Muscle Characteristics - no striations or stripes - under involuntary control - found mainly in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach, bladder & respiratory passages - cells are spindle shaped Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Smooth Muscle Characteristics Figure 6.2a Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 3. Cardiac Muscle Characteristics - Found only in the heart - Striated - having bands/stripes - under involuntary control - muscle fibers are branching cells joined by junctions called intercalated discs Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cardiac Muscle Characteristics Figure 6.2b Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings B. Skeletal Muscle Functions 1. Produce movement - skeletal muscles responsible for locomotion - smooth muscle of vessels & cardiac muscle of the heart work together to circulate blood & maintain blood pressure - smooth muscles of hollow organs force fluids & other substances (food, a baby) through body channels Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2. Maintain Posture - skeletal muscles working continuously to maintain a erect or seated posture despite the downward pull of gravity 3. Stabilize Joints - skeletal muscles stabilize & reinforce joints that have poorly fitting articular surfaces 4. Generating Heat - heat is a byproduct of muscle contraction - ¾ of the energy from ATP escapes as heat - necessary for homeostasis in maintaining body temp. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings II. Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle A. Sarcolemma - specialized plasma membrane B. Myofibrils - long organelles inside the muscle cell 1. Sarcomere - contractile units of a myofibril 2. Sarcomeres are made of myofilaments (threadlike protein) a. Actin - thin filaments b. Myosin- thick filaments Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle Figure 6.3a Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The thick filaments or myosin produce the dark A band which is where they overlap with the thin filaments or actin. The thin filaments or actin produce the light I band which is where they do not overlap the myosin. The A bands are bisected by the H zone which is where there is no overlap between the actin and myosin filaments The Z lines separate the individual sarcomeres Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle Figure 6.3b Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle Figure 6.3c Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle C. Sarcoplasmic Reticulum - specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum - surrounds each myofibril - stores & releases calcium (needed for muscle contraction) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle Figure 6.3d Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 1. The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potential - to contract, skeletal muscle cells must be stimulated by nerve impulses - Motor unit - one neuron & all the skeletal muscle cells it stimulates - Neuromuscular junction - where a neuron meets a muscle cell - Synaptic cleft - gap between a neuron & muscle cell Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potential Figure 6.4a Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potential Figure 6.4b Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potential Figure 6.5a Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potential Figure 6.5b Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings - a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine or ACh is released due to a nerve impulse - Sarcolemma becomes more permeable to sodium ions Na+ - more Na+ enters the cell than K+ leaves the cell creating an action potential resulting in a muscle contraction - sodium-potassium pump (an active transport mechanism) moves Na+ & K+ ions back to their initial positions Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Transmission of Nerve Impulse to Muscle Figure 6.5c Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Transmission of Nerve Impulse to Muscle Figure 6.6 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2. The Sliding Filament Theory of Muscle Contraction - the action potential stimulates the sarcolemma to release Ca++ - Ca++ ions trigger the binding of myosin to actin initiating filament sliding causing the muscle to shorten Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Sliding Filament Theory of Muscle Contraction Figure 6.7a–b Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Sliding Filament Theory Figure 6.8a Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Sliding Filament Theory Figure 6.8b Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Sliding Filament Theory Figure 6.8c Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings B. Contraction of Skeletal Muscle 1. Graded Responses - muscle fiber/cell contraction is “all-or-none” & does not apply to the entire muscle which react to stimuli with graded responses or different degrees of shortening Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings a. Muscle Response to Increasingly Rapid Stimulation - muscle twitch - single brief contraction/not normal - tetanus- summing of contractions/one contraction is immediately followed by another Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Types of Graded Responses Figure 6.9a Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Types of Graded Responses Figure 6.9b Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Types of Graded Responses Figure 6.9c Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Types of Graded Responses Figure 6.9d Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings b. Muscle Response to Strong Stimuli - muscle contraction force depends on # of fibers stimulated – can be a slight or vigorous contraction Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2. Providing Energy for Muscle Contraction - ATP is needed to power contraction & only 4-6 seconds worth of ATP is stored in the muscles, after which time other pathways produce ATP Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Energy for Muscle Contraction a. Creatine Phosphate (CP) – high energy molecule - CP interacts with ADP to create one ATP molecule - CP supplies are exhausted in less than 15 seconds Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Energy for Muscle Contraction Figure 6.10a Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Energy for Muscle Contraction b. Aerobic Respiration - glucose is broken down to carbon dioxide/CO2 & water/H2O, releasing energy – ATP (36 ATP per 1 glucose molecule) - requires a continuous supply of oxygen Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Energy for Muscle Contraction Figure 6.10b Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Energy for Muscle Contraction c. Anaerobic Glycolosis & Lactic Acid Fermentation - reaction that breaks down glucose without oxygen - 2 ATP per 1 glucose - byproduct is lactic acid which promotes muscle fatigue & soreness Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Energy for Muscle Contraction Figure 6.10c Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 3. Muscle Fatigue and Oxygen Deficit - Muscle fatigue - when a muscle can no longer contract - fatigue is the result of oxygen deficit - oxygen is required to get rid of accumulated lactic acid Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 4. Types of Muscle Contractions a. Isotonic contractions – muscle shortens/movement occurs b. Isometric contractions – muscle doesn’t shorten/movement doesn’t occur Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5. Muscle Tone - some fibers are contracted even in a relaxed muscle - muscle remains firm, healthy & ready for action Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings 6. Effect of Exercise on Muscles - exercise increases muscle size, strength & endurance a. Aerobic or endurance exercise creates stronger muscles with greater resistance to fatigue b. Resistance or isometric exercise increases muscle size & strength Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Effect of Exercise on Muscles Figure 6.11 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Five Golden Rules of Skeletal Muscle Activity Table 6.2 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings IV. Muscles and Body Movements A.
