Chapter 10 Muscle Tissue and Organization 1

Muscles • Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles because they can be moved voluntarily • Heart and digestive muscles contract on their own

Muscles • Functions: – Body movement – Maintenance of posture – Temperature regulation (especially shivering when you are cold) – Storage and movement of materials • control of openings (sphincters) to gastrointestinal and urinary tracts – Support • abdominal cavity • floor of pelvic cavity

Fig. 10. 1 Tendon Deep fascia Skeletal muscle • Tendons attach muscles to bones • Deep fascia covers muscle – – – dense irregular connective tissue separates individual muscles binds muscles with similar function helps distribute nerves and blood vessels fills spaces between muscles sits deep to superficial fascia (aka subcutaneous layer)

Fig. 10. 1 • Perimysium surrounds each fascicle – dense irregular connective tissue – contains neurovascular bundles Tendon Deep fascia Skeletal muscle Epimysium Perimysium Nuclei Muscle fiber Fascicle Vein Nerve. Artery (a) Muscle (b) Fascicle

Fig. 10. 1 • Endomysium surrounds each muscle fiber – areolar connective tissue – insulates each fiber from electrical charge of other fibers (each can contract individually) – contains reticular fibers that bind neighboring muscle fibers together Fascicle Muscle fiber Endomysium (a) Muscle Copyright © Mc.

Fig. 10. 4 • Muscle fibers derive from myoblasts in embryo • Multiple myoblasts fuse into single cell with multiple nuclei • Satellite cells are myoblasts that didn’t fuse – assist in repair if muscle injured Myoblasts Satellite cell Myoblasts fuse to form a skeletal muscle fiber Muscle fiber

Fig. 10. 3 • Plasma membrane of muscle cell = sarcolemma (sarco = flesh) • Cytoplasm = sarcoplasm • Sarcoplasmic reticulum stores calcium ions needed for muscle contraction – Parts of SR extend deeper across cell, called transverse tubules Sarcolemma Sarcoplasm Mitochondria Myofibrils Myofilaments Transverse (T) Sarcoplasmic reticulum tubule Terminal cisternae Nucleus

Table 10. 1 d • Muscles move when myofilaments “walk” past each other • Myofibril shortens, contracting muscles • Muscles don’t “push”; They always pull Sarcomere Myofibril Myofilaments Thin filament Thick filament Actin molecules Heads of myosin molecules

Fig. 10 • Motor unit is a motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it controls • One motor unit controls some fibers in a muscle • Smaller motor units provide finer control (ex. eye muscles) Spinal cord Motor neuron 1 Motor neuron 2 Neuromuscular junctions Muscle fibers innervated by motor neuron 1

Fig. 10 • all-or-none principle means Spinal cord fibers contract completely or not at all – Force exerted depends on number of motor units activated Neuromuscular junctions Motor neuron 1 Motor neuron 2 Muscle fibers innervated by motor neuron 1

Fig. 10. 2 Muscle attachment • At end of muscle, connective tissue layers merge to form tendon – attaches muscle to bone, Tendon skin, or another muscle • thin, flattened sheet of tendon is called aponeurosis Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Fig. 10. 2 Muscle attachment Origin • Less mobile point of attachment of muscle is origin Relaxed • More mobile point of muscle attachment is insertion • Insertion usually moves Tendon toward origin • In limbs, origin is proximal to insertion Contracted muscle Movement of insertion of muscle Insertion Copyright © Mc.

Actions of Skeletal Muscles • Agonist is a muscle that contracts to produce a particular movement • Antagonist is a muscle whose actions oppose agonist – ex. agonist extends; antagonist flexes • Synergist assists the agonist – stabilizes point of origin or contributes to tension at point of insertion – ex. biceps brachii and brachialis muscles

Naming of Skeletal Muscles • Muscle action – Some names reflect function or movement of muscle -flexor -extensor -pronator • Specific body region – anterior, posterior – superficialis or externus are visible from body surface – profundus or internus are deeper or more internal

Naming of Skeletal Muscles • Muscle attachment – Named for origin, insertion, or prominent attachment – first part of name indicates origin and second part indicates insertion – ex. sternocleidomastoid originates on sternum and clavicle and inserts on mastoid • Orientation of muscle fibers – rectus = straight – oblique = oblique angle to longitudinal axis of body

Naming of Skeletal Muscles • Shape and size – – – deltoid = shaped like a triangle (delta, Δ) orbicularis = shaped like a circle (orbit) trapezius = shaped like a trapezoid brevis = short longus or longissimus = long teres = long and round

Naming of Skeletal Muscles • Shape and size – magnus = large, big – major = bigger – maximus = biggest – minor = small – minimus = smallest

Naming of Skeletal Muscles • Heads/tendons of origin – biceps = two tendons of origin – triceps = three tendons of origin – quadriceps = four tendons of origin • ex. quadriceps femoris = thigh muscle with four heads/tendons of origin
