Structure and Function of Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal Muscle Human body contains over 400 skeletal muscles 40-50% of total body weight Functions of skeletal muscle Force production for locomotion and breathing Force production for postural support Heat production during cold stress

Structure of Skeletal Muscle: Connective Tissue Covering Epimysium Surrounds entire muscle Perimysium Surrounds bundles of muscle fibers Fascicles Endomysium Surrounds individual muscle fibers

Structure of Skeletal Muscle: Microstructure Sarcolemma Muscle cell membrane Myofibrils Threadlike strands within muscle fibers Actin (thin filament) Troponin Tropomyosin Myosin (thick filament)

Structure of Skeletal Muscle: The Sarcomere Further divisions of myofibrils Z-line A-band I-band Within the sarcoplasm Sarcoplasmic reticulum Storage sites for calcium Transverse tubules Terminal cisternae

The Neuromuscular Junction Site where motor neuron meets the muscle fiber Separated by gap called the neuromuscular cleft Motor end plate Pocket formed around motor neuron by sarcolemma Acetylcholine is released from the motor neuron Causes an end-plate potential (EPP) Depolarization of muscle fiber

Illustration of the Neuromuscular Junction

Motor Unit Single motorneuron & muscle fibers it innervates Eye muscles – 1:1 muscle/nerve ratio Hamstrings – 300:1 muscle/nerve ratio

Muscular Contraction The sliding filament model Muscle shortening occurs due to the movement of the actin filament over the myosin filament Formation of cross-bridges between actin and myosin filaments Reduction in the distance between Z-lines of the sarcomere

The Sliding Filament Model of Muscle Contraction

Cross-Bridge Formation in Muscle Contraction

Sliding Filament Theory Rest – uncharged ATP cross-bridge complex Excitation-coupling – charged ATP cross- bridge complex, “turned on” Contraction – actomyosin – ATP > ADP & Pi + energy Recharging – reload cross-bridge with ATP Relaxation – cross-bridges “turned off”

Muscle Function All or none law – fiber contracts completely or not at all Muscle strength gradation Multiple motor unit summation – more motor units per unit of time Wave summation – vary frequency of contraction of individual motor units
