Skeletal Muscle Tissue Chapter 10 Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Introduction • Muscles are responsible for movement – Contraction & relaxation • Muscles make up 40 – 50 % of a human’s total body weight Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Characteristics of Muscle Tissue • Excitability – Can receive & respond to stimuli • Contractility – Can shorten & thicken • Extensibility – Can be stretched • Elasticity – Can return to its original shape Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Functions of Muscle Tissue • Motion • Maintenance of posture • Heat production Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Kinds of Muscle Tissue • Skeletal Muscle • Cardiac Muscle • Smooth Muscle Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
The Muscular System • Muscle tissue = all contractile tissue • Muscular system = – Skeletal muscle tissue – Connective tissue Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Fascia of Skeletal Muscle • Epimysium – Wraps muscle • Perimysium – Divides muscle into bundles (fasciculi) • Endomysium – Separates each muscle cell Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Fascia of Skeletal Muscle
Tendons & Aponeuroses • Epimysium • Perimysium • Endomysium Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Tendon Sheaths
Nerve & Blood Supply • Related to contraction • Artery and 1 or 2 veins accompany each nerve – Each muscle cell is in contact with capillaries • Each muscle cell is in contact with a portion of a nerve cell – Neuromuscular junction Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Histology of Skeletal Muscle Tissue • Muscle fibers = elongated cells – – – Sarcolemma Sarcoplasmic reticulum T tubules Triad • Muscle fibers consist of myofibrils • Extend length fiber of • Myofibrils consist myofilaments of • Thin filaments • Thick filaments Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Myofilaments • Myofilaments do not extend entire length of fiber. • Stacked in compartments = sarcomeres – Partitioned by Z lines – A band (dark) – contains thick filaments • Includes H zone, zone of overlap – I band (light) – thin filaments only – H zone – thick Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition filaments only Prentice Hall, © 2001
Myofilaments • Thin filaments – Composed mostly of actin – Contain tropomyosin and troponin – Double-stranded coil • Thick filaments – Composed mostly of myosin – Rod-shaped (tail) with head Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Contraction – Sliding Filament Theory • Thin filaments slide inward toward the H zone – Z lines are drawn toward the A band • Sarcomere shortens • Lengths of myofilaments do not change • Cross bridges of thick filaments connect with actin • Width of the H zone gets smaller Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Neuromuscular Junction • Contraction requires a stimulus • An axon comes into close contact with a muscle membrane – Motor end plate • Acetylcholine transmits nerve impulse to the motor end plate – Initiates contraction • Axon terminal + motor end plate = neuromuscular junction Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Motor Unit • Def. – motor neuron and all muscle cells it stimulates • 1 motor neuron may innervate few or many muscle cells • The number of muscle fibers/motor unit determines how precise a movement is. Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Physiology of Contraction – Relaxed Muscle • Sarcoplasm is low in calcium • ATP is bound to myosin cross bridges • Tropomyosintroponin complex is attached to actin Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Physiology of Contraction – Stimulation of Muscle • • • Nerve impulse reaches motor end plate Neuron releases ACh Electrical charge travels along sarcolemma Electrical charge travels down T tubules Electrical charge travels to S. R. releases calcium into sarcoplasm Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Physiology of Contraction – Activation of Myosin • Calcium binds to troponin • Cross bridges form • Calcium acts as an enzyme – Breaks down ATP to ADP + P • Myosin cross bridges move • Sarcomere shortens • Muscle shortens Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Physiology of Contraction – of Muscle • • • Relaxation Nerve impulse ends ACh is broken down by acetylcholinesterase Calcium is actively transported back into S. R. ADP + P = ATP – Binds to cross bridges Myosin cross bridges separate from actin Binding sites on actin are covered Thin myofilaments slip back to resting position Sarcomeres return to resting length Muscle fiber returns to resting length Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Physiology of Contraction
Fast, Slow, and Intermediate Muscles • Duration of contraction varies with function • Fast muscles (white) – More extensive SR – Lack myoglobin – Fewer capillaries • Slow muscles (red) – Smaller fibers – More capillaries – Lots of myoglobin Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Disorders • • • Fibrosis Fibrositis Fibromyalgia Muscular dystrophy Myasthenia gravis Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Classifications in the Muscular System Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
• • How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movement Exert force on tendons Attached to articulating bones forming a joint When muscle contracts, one bone moves toward the other Attachments – Origin = attachment to stationary bone – Insertion = attachment to moveable bone – Belly = fleshy portion of muscle between tendons Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Arrangement of Fasciculi • Parallel • Convergent • Pennate – Unipennate – Bipennate – Multipennate • Circular • Arrangement is correlated with the power and range of movement of a muscle. Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Arrangement of Fasciculi
Group Actions • Agonist or prime mover – Causes desired action • Antagonist – Effect is opposite to agonist • Synergist or fixator – Assists agonist Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Lever Systems • Bones = levers, joints = fulcrums • Levers are acted upon by resistance, effort • Types – 1 st class lever - fulcrum is placed between effort and resistance – 2 nd class lever - fulcrum is at one end, effort is at the opposite end, resistance is in between – 3 rd class lever - fulcrum is at one end, resistance is at the opposite end, effort is in between • Leverage is responsible for a muscle’s strength and range of movement Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
Classes of Levers
Naming of Skeletal Muscles • • Direction of muscle fibers Location Size Number of origins Shape Origin & insertion Action Human Anatomy, 3 rd edition Prentice Hall, © 2001
