Chapter 9 The Muscular System
3
Introduction Skeletal muscles: movement in environment
Smooth muscles: intestines, ureters, veins and arteries Cardiac muscle: pumps blood through heart and blood vessels 40% - 50% of body weight
4
The Types of Muscle
5
The Types of Muscle (cont’d.)
Skeletal: voluntary, striated, multinucleated Smooth: involuntary, nonstriated and uninucleated Cardiac: involuntary, striated and uninucleated
6
The Anatomy of Skeletal or Striated Muscle
7
The Anatomy of Skeletal or Striated Muscle (cont’d.)
Skeletal muscle cell surrounded by sarcolemma Fasciculi: bundles of fascicles Fascicles: individual bundles of muscle fibers
8
The Anatomy of Skeletal or Striated Muscle (cont’d.)
Perimysium: surrounds each fascicle Epimysium: covers the perimysium Fascia: covers the epimysium Myosin: A bands Actin: I bands Z lines H zone
9
The Anatomy of Skeletal or Striated Muscle (cont’d.)
Sarcomere: between two adjacent Z lines Actual contraction process occurs here Sarcotubular system T system and sarcoplasmic reticulum
10
The Physiology of Muscle Contraction
11
Introduction Motor unit: all muscle cells innervated by one motor neuron Muscle cell properties Excitability Conductivity Contractility Elasticity
12
Neuroelectrical Factors
Na+ higher concentration outside muscle cell K+ higher concentration inside muscle cell Resting potential: charge outside positive and inside negative Electrical potential: rush of Na+ inside cell K+ moves outside cell attempting to balance
13
Neuroelectrical Factors (cont’d.)
Action potential Calcium released Troponin and tropomyosin action inhibited Activated myosin links to actin filaments
14
Chemical Interactions
Myosin heads contain ATP ATP releases energy upon myosin/action link Energy released used to pull action Sodium: potassium pump pumps out sodium Resting potential restored
15
Energy Sources ATP: energy source for muscle contraction
ATP production Glycolysis Krebs citric acid cycle Electron transport Alternate sources: fatty acids and phosphocreatine
16
The Muscle Twitch
17
The Muscle Twitch (cont’d.)
Stimulus > latent period > contraction > relaxation Contraction strength depends on Strength, speed and duration of stimulus Weight of load Temperature All-or-none law
18
Muscle Tone
19
Muscle Tone (cont’d.) State of partial contraction throughout whole muscle Maintains pressure on abdominal contents Helps maintain blood pressure Aids digestion Types Isotonic, isometric
20
The Anatomy of Smooth Muscle
21
The Anatomy of Smooth Muscle (cont’d.)
Found in hollow structures Involuntary, uninucleated, nonstriated Arrangement (two layers) Longitudinal (outer) Circular (inner)
22
The Anatomy of Cardiac Muscle
23
The Anatomy of Cardiac Muscle (cont’d.)
Autonomic nervous system control Involuntary, uninucleated, striated Intercalated disks: coordinate contraction Cardiac muscles: contract, relax and contract 75 times/minute
24
The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles
25
The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.)
Shape Origin and insertion Location Direction of fibers
26
The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.)
Origin: more fixed attachment of muscle Insertion: movable attachment of muscle Tendons: attach muscle to bone Aponeurosis: wide flat tendon
27
The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.)
Flexors: bend limb at a joint Extensor: straighten limb at a joint Abductors: move limb away from midline Adductors: bring limb toward midline Rotators: revolve limb around axis
28
The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.)
Dorsiflexors: raise the foot Plantar flexors: lower the foot Supinators: turn palm upward Pronators: turn palm downward
29
The Naming and Actions of Skeletal Muscles (cont’d.)
Levators: raise a part of the body Depressors: lower a part of the body Prime movers or agonists: bring about an action Antagonists: oppose agonists Synergists: assist prime movers
30

38
Muscles Moving the Head
Sternocleidomastoid Contraction of both causes flexion of neck Contraction of one causes rotation to left or right
