Characteristics of Muscles Contractibility Neurotransmitter at site of muscle stimulus. The sodium-potassium pump of the membrane of a muscle cell. The purpose of this slide is to illustrate the complexity of the process of movement. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system Muscle Tone John just got a cast off his leg. His calf muscle on the affected leg is 1” smaller in diameter than his other calf muscle. What happened? How do you explain this to him? 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system Muscle Fatigue Discuss muscle fatigue: What causes muscle fatigue? How does the body correct muscle fatigue? Is muscle fatigue dangerous? Why / why not? Discuss aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Give examples of each. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

Functions of the Muscular System What are the functions of the muscular system? 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

Movement: Skeletal Muscle Receptors in muscles provide the brain with information about body position and movement. The brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

Movement As your muscle contracts, one of the bones will move with the other will remain stationary. Point of origin (end of the muscle that is attached to the stationary bone) Point of insertion (end of muscle that is attached to the moving bone) Prime mover or agonist Antagonist – muscles that cause movement in the opposite direction Synergists – assist primary mover All movement is a result of contraction of primary movers and relaxation of opposing muscles.

Movement: Digestive System The nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the digestive tract. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

Movement: Circulatory System Heartbeat The nervous system and hormones regulate the speed at which the heart beats. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system
