The Muscular System
Did you know that ? - more than 50% of body weight is muscle ! - And muscle is made up of proteins and water
The Muscular System • Muscles are responsible for all movement of the body • There are three basic types of muscle – Skeletal – Cardiac – Smooth
Info About Muscles • Only body tissue able to contract • create movement by flexing and extending joints • Body energy converters (many muscle cells contain many mitochondria)
3 Types of Muscles
Classification of Muscle (Copy Chart) Skeletal. Cardiacfound in limbs found in heart Smooth. Found in viscera Striated, multi- Striated, 1 nucleated nucleus Not striated, 1 nucleus voluntary involuntary
Characteristics of Muscle • Skeletal and smooth muscle are elongated • Muscle cell = muscle fiber • Contraction of a muscle is due to movement of microfilaments (protein fibers) • All muscles share some terminology – Prefixes myo and mys refer to muscle – Prefix sarco refers to flesh
Shapes of Muscles • • Triangular- shoulder, neck Spindle- arms, legs Flat- diaphragm, forehead Circular- mouth, anus
Skeletal Muscle • Most are attached by tendons to bones • Cells have more than one nucleus (multinucleated) • Striated- have stripes, banding • Voluntary- subject to conscious control • Tendons are mostly made of collagen fibers • Found in the limbs • Produce movement, maintain posture, generate heat, stabilize joints
Structure of skeletal muscle • Each cell (fibre) is long and cylindrical • Muscle fibres are multi-nucleated • Typically 50 -60 mm in diameter, and up to 10 cm long • The contractile elements of skeletal muscle cells are myofibrils
Skeletal muscle - Summary • Voluntary movement of skeletal parts • Spans joints and attached to skeleton • Multi-nucleated, striated, cylindrical fibres
Smooth Muscle • • • No striations Spindle shaped Single nucleus Involuntary- no conscious control Found mainly in the walls of hollow organs
Smooth muscle • Lines walls of viscera • Found in longitudinal or circular arrangement • Alternate contraction of circular & longitudinal muscle in the intestine leads to peristalsis
Structure of smooth muscle • Spindle shaped uni-nucleated cells • Striations not observed • Actin and myosin filaments are present( protein fibers)
Smooth muscle - Summary • Found in walls of hollow internal organs • Involuntary movement of internal organs • Elongated, spindle shaped fibre with single nucleus
Cardiac Muscle • • • Striations Branching cells Involuntary Found only in the heart Usually has a single nucleus, but can have more than one
Cardiac muscle • • Main muscle of heart Pumping mass of heart Critical in humans Heart muscle cells behave as one unit • Heart always contracts to it’s full extent
Structure of cardiac muscle • Cardiac muscle cells (fibres) are short, branched and interconnected • Cells are striated & usually have 1 nucleus • Adjacent cardiac cells are joined via electrical synapses (gap junctions) • These gap junctions appear as dark lines and are called intercalated discs
Cardiac muscle - Summary • Found in the heart • Involuntary rhythmic contraction • Branched, striated fibre with single nucleus and intercalated discs
Muscle Control Type of muscle Nervous control Type of control Example Skeletal Controlled by CNS Voluntary Lifting a glass Cardiac Regulated by ANS Involuntary Heart beating Smooth Controlled by ANS Involuntary Peristalsis
Types of Responses • Twitch– A single brief contraction – Not a normal muscle function • Tetanus – One contraction immediately followed by another – Muscle never completely returns to a relaxed state – Effects are compounded
Where Does the Energy Come From? • Energy is stored in the muscles in the form of ATP • ATP comes from the breakdown of glucose during Cellular Respiration • This all happens in the Mitochondria of the cell • When a muscle is fatigued (tired) it is unable to contract because of lack of Oxygen
Exercise and Muscles • Isotonic- muscles shorten and movement occurs ( most normal exercise) • Isometric- tension in muscles increases, no movement occurs (pushing one hand against the other)
How are Muscles Attached to Bone? • Origin-attachment to a movable bone • Insertion- attachment to an immovable bone • Muscles are always attached to at least 2 points • Movement is attained due to a muscle moving an attached bone
Muscle Attachments Insertion Origin
Types of Musculo-Skeletal Movement Flexion
Extension
Hyperextension
Abduction, Adduction & Circumduction
Rotation
More Types of Movement…… • • • Inversion- turn sole of foot medially Eversion- turn sole of foot laterally Pronation- palm facing down Supination- palm facing up Opposition- thumb touches tips of fingers on the same hand
The Skeletal Muscles There about 650 muscles in the human body. They enable us to move, maintain posture and generate heat. In this section we will only study a sample of the major muscles.
