Muscular Tissue specialized for contraction
very distinct organelles within the cells 3 types 1. skeletal – voluntary muscle 2. cardiac – involuntary muscle 3. smooth – involuntary muscle
2
Skeletal Muscle: voluntary muscle
-voluntary nervous control -repeating banding patterns of actin & myosin = striated appearance -mature cells = multi-nucleated cells – made from fusion of myoblasts -cells are very long – sometimes called muscle fibers -cannot divide – but new cells form from differentiation of myogenic stem cells = satellite cells -attached to bones via tendons
4
Cardiac Muscle: involuntary muscle
-cells are striated but uni-nuclear = cardiomyocytes -incapable of dividing – PLUS there are no satellite cells -therefore damaged heart muscle cannot be regenerated -identified by the presence of intercalated discs -for cell-cell communication and force transmission
6
Smooth Muscle: involuntary muscle
-lines blood vessels, airways and organs -non-striated -spindle shaped cells - single nucleus (uni-nuclear) -control their own rate of contraction through action of pacemaker cells -BUT nervous system can also control contraction -slow, sustained & strong contraction
8
Skeletal Muscles Attach to bones Produce skeletal movement (voluntary)
Maintain posture Support soft tissues Regulate entrances to the body Maintain body temperature
9
Properties of Skeletal Muscles
Electrical excitability -ability to respond to stimuli by producing action potentials -two types of stimuli: 1. autorhythmic action potentials made by the muscle cell itself 2. APs resulting from chemical stimuli from nervous system – e.g. neurotransmitters Contractility -ability to contract when stimulated by an action potential -isotonic contraction: tension develops, muscle shortens -isometric contraction: tension develops, length doesn’t change Extensibility -ability to stretch without being damaged -allows contraction even when stretched Elasticity -ability to return to its original length and shape
10
Muscles: Gross Anatomy
muscles with similar functions are grouped and held together by layers of deep fascia e.g. biceps femoris and brachialis – forearm flexion three layers of connective tissue surround and organize a muscle Epimysium Perimysium Endomysium
11
Gross Anatomy muscles are surrounded by a fascia (areolar tissue)
remove the fascia – epimysium that surrounds the muscle and divides it into groups called fascicles each individual fascicle is surrounded by a perimysium perimysium divides the fascicle into muscle fibers = muscle cells
12
Gross Anatomy each muscle fiber/muscle cell is surrounded by an endomysium endomysium divides the muscle fiber into protein filaments = myofibrils myofibrils are made up of a a “skeleton” of protein filaments (myofilaments) organized as sarcomeres
13
Muscles: Gross Anatomy
epimysium and perimysium extend off the muscle to become organized as a tendon – attaches to the periosteum of the bone
15
Microanatomy of Skeletal Muscle Fibers
large, multinucleated cells called fibers mature muscle fibers range from 10 to 100 microns in diameter typical length is 4 inches - some are 12 inches long muscle fibers increase in size during childhood = human GH & testosterone number of muscle cells predetermined before birth
16
Microanatomy of Skeletal Muscle Fibers
muscle stem cells (satellite cells) differentiate into immature myoblasts which begin to make muscle proteins myoblasts mature into myocytes multiple myocytes fuse to form the muscle cell (muscle fiber) muscle fibers cannot divide through mitosis satellite cells can repair damaged/dying skeletal muscle cells throughout adulthood
17
Muscle Cell Anatomy cell membrane = sarcolemma cytoplasm = sarcoplasm
large amounts of glycogen and myoglobin surrounds the myofibrils myofibrils made up of myofilaments thick and thin transverse tubules ingrowths of the sarcolemma carry the action potential deep into the fiber surrounds the sarcoplasmic reticulum sarcoplasmic reticulum for calcium storage
18
The Proteins of Muscle contractile elements of the myofibrils = myofilaments -2 microns in diameter -give the muscle its striated appearance myofilaments are built of 3 kinds of protein contractile proteins myosin and actin regulatory proteins which turn contraction on & off troponin and tropomyosin structural proteins which provide proper alignment, elasticity and extensibility titin, myomesin, nebulin, actinin and dystrophin
19
The Proteins of Muscle two kinds of myofilaments
Thin - actin, troponin and tropomyosin Thick – myosin only
20
Sarcomere Structure sarcomere = regions bounded by two Z lines
thin myofilaments project out from Z line – actin attached via actinin (structural protein) myosin/thick myofilaments lie in center of sarcomere – attached to the M line thick and thin myofilaments overlap and connect via cross-bridges
21
Sarcomere Structure myosin/thick filament only region = H zone
thin filament only region = I band length of myosin/thick filaments = A band
22
contraction = “sliding filament theory”
thick and thin myofilaments slide over each other and sarcomere shortens
23
Contraction: The Sliding Filament Theory
Actin proteins in the thin filament have myosin binding sites these sites are “covered up” by troponin and tropomyosin in relaxed muscle “shifting off” of troponin/tropomyosin from these sites is required for contraction shifting of troponin/tropomyosin is done through binding of calcium to troponin calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum upon the action potential
24
Contraction: The Sliding Filament Theory
thick myofilament is a bundle of myosin molecules myosin looks like a “golf club” with a head, a hinge region and a shaft each myosin protein has a globular “head” with a site to bind and breakdown ATP (ATPase site) and to bind actin (actin binding site) binding of actin and myosin binding sites = cross-bridging
25
-for cross bridging- you will need two things:
Increase in Cai Removal of troponin-tropomyosin CONTRACTION Sliding of actin along myosin RESETTING of system -for cross bridging- you will need two things: 1. calcium – uncovers the myosin binding sites on actin – “pushes aside” the troponin- tropomyosin complex 2. myosin head bound to ADP -for contraction (pivoting of the myosin head into the M line) – the myosin head must be empty -to “reset” for a new cycle of cross-bridging – the myosin head must detach and pivot back -the myosin head must bind ATP -once the myosin head pivots back – the ATP is broken down to ADP – head is ready to cross-bridge again – if actin is “ready”
26
Contracted Sarcomere
27
Muscle Metabolism Production of ATP: -contraction requires huge amounts of ATP -muscle fibers produce ATP three ways: 1. Creatine phosphate 2. Anaerobic metabolism 3. Aerobic metabolism
28
Creatine Phosphate Muscle fibers at rest produce more ATP then they need for resting metabolism but you can’t store ATP excess ATP within resting muscle used to form creatine phosphate creatine – arginine, glycine and methionine phosphorylated by the enzyme creatine kinase takes a phosphate off of ATP and transfers it to creatine also takes the phosphate off of creatine phosphate and transfers it back to ADP – to make ATP
29
Creatine Phosphate Creatine phosphate: 3-6 times more plentiful than ATP within muscle Sustains maximal contraction for 15 sec (used for 100 meter dash). Athletes often use creatine supplementation gain muscle mass but shut down bodies own synthesis (safety?)
30
Anaerobic Cellular Respiration
once muscles deplete creatine – can make ATP in anaerobically or aerobically both anaerobic and aerobic metabolism start the same way – breakdown of glucose first by glycolysis glycogen broken down into glucose glycolysis: glucose pyruvic acid (3 carbon sugar) 2 ATP made in anaerobic respiration – pyruvic acid lactic acid muscle fatigue Glycolysis can continue anaerobically to provide ATP for 30 to 40 seconds of maximal activity (200 meter race)
31
Aerobic Cellular Respiration
sources of oxygen – diffusion from blood, released by myoglobin ATP for any activity lasting over 30 seconds with sufficient oxygen available = pyruvic acid acteyl CoA Acetyl coA enters the Kreb’s cycle (mitochondria) Kreb’s cycle generates NADH and FADH2 (electron carriers) the electrons are transferred from NADH/FADH2 to three enzyme complexes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane electrons ultimately transported to oxygen – results in synthesis of ATP, water & heat provides 90% of ATP energy if activity lasts more than 10 minutes each glucose = 36 ATP (2 from glycolysis)
32
Types of Muscle Fibers classified on how they make their ATP
fast glycolytic (type IIB) slow oxidative (type I) fast glycolytic-oxidative (type IIA) percentage of fast versus slow fibers is genetically determined proportions vary with the muscle neck, back and leg muscles have a higher proportion of postural, slow oxidative fibers shoulder and arm muscles have a higher proportion of fast glycolytic fibers
33
large diameter, densely packed myofibrils large glycogen reserves
Fast Fibers large diameter, densely packed myofibrils large glycogen reserves powerful, explosive contractions fatigue quickly Fast oxidative-glycolytic (fast-twitch type IIA): red in color (lots of mitochondria, myoglobin & blood vessels) used for walking and sprinting Fast glycolytic (fast-twitch type IIB): white in color (few mitochondria & BV, low myoglobin) short duration anaerobic movements used for weight-lifting
34
Type I Slow Oxidative fibers: Half the diameter of fast fibers
Three times longer to contract vs. fast fibers Continue to contract for long periods of time longest to fatigue
35
Classification According to arrangement of fibers and fascicles
Parallel muscles Parallel to long axis of muscle Convergent muscles Fibers converge on common attachment site Pennate muscles One or more tendons run through body of muscle Unipennate, bipennate, multipennate Circular muscles Fibers concentrically arranged
36
Bones & Muscles: Origins and Insertions
Origin – portion of the skeletal muscle that attaches to the more stationary structure Insertion - portion of the skeletal muscle that attaches to the more moveable structure majority of muscles originate or insert from bony markings on the skeleton markings: specific elevations, depressions, and openings of bones 3 kinds of bony markings: depressions – fossa, fissure openings – foramen, canal, meatus processes – condyles, spines, crests, heads, lines, ridges, trochanters, tubercles processes are for muscle origins and insertions
