MUSCULAR SYSTEM I pp. 917-920
FUNCTION Support, movement, and protection
TYPES skeletal – muscles that move bones (voluntary) smooth – involuntary muscles that protect organs cardiac – involuntary muscles found only in heart
MUSCLE STRUCTURE myofibril muscle cell (fiber)fascicle muscle
Two types of proteins (actin and myosin) involved actin + myosin myofibril myofibril attaches to Z line sarcomere: functional unit from Z line to Z line
MUSCLE CONTRACTION
contraction: shortening of sarcomere between Z –lines myosin “heads” walk along the actin this requires ATP to walk and to release the myosin after walking
ENERGY Aerobic respiration: breaking down organic compounds to release energy to be used by the body OCCURS: 1. when oxygen is present 2. in the mitochondria PRODUCES: ATP
MUSCLE FATIGUE The inability to contract the muscle due to the lack of ATP a contraction occurs when “heads” walk along the actin The walking requires ATP to contract and release the muscle
Look at p 929 #7. Define parts of picture 1-4. Read 917-920 Do problems p 922 # 1-4, 9, 10 Look at p 929 #7. Define parts of picture 1-4. Is this muscle elongated or contracted?
