Muscular System
Review - Three Types of Muscle Tissues
Skeletal Muscle• usually attached to bones• under conscious
Cardiac Muscle• wall of heart• not under conscious control
3
control (voluntary)• striated• multinucleated
Smooth Muscle• walls of most viscera, blood vessels, skin• not under conscious control• not striated
• striated• branched
2
Functions of Muscle
• Provide stability and postural tone– Fixed in place without movement
– Maintain posture in space
• Purposeful movement
4
– Perform tasks consciously, purposefully
• Regulate internal organ movement and volume (mostly involuntary)
• Guard entrances/exits (digestive/urinary)
• Generation of heat (thermogenesis)
Characteristics of All Muscle Tissue
• Contractile– Ability to shorten with force
– CANNOT forcibly lengthen
5
• Extensible (able to be stretched)
• Elastic (returns to resting length)
• Excitable (can respond electrical impulses)
• Conductive (transmits electrical impulses)
Structure of a Skeletal Muscle
• epimysium (around muscle)
• perimysium
Figure from: Hole’s Human A&P, 12th edition, 2010

p y(around fascicles)
• endomysium (around fibers, or cells)
Alphabetical order largest to smallest: fascicle, fiber, fibril, and filament

Skeletal Muscle Fiber (Cell)Fully differentiated, specialized cell – its structures are given special names
• sarcolemma (plasma membrane)• sarcoplasm (cytoplasm)• sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER)
• transverse tubule• triad
i t f l i
7
Transverse tubules contain extracellular fluid ( [Na+], [K+])
Sarcoplasmic reticulum is like the ER of other cells; but it contains [Ca2+ ]
Figure from: Saladin, Anatomy & Physiology, McGraw Hill, 2007
• cisternae of sarcoplasmic reticulum (2)• transverse tubule
• myofibril (1-2 µm diam.)
Structure of the Sarcomere
• I band• A band• H zone
Z li
(~ 2µm long)
8
• Z line• M line
The sarcomere is the contractile unit of skeletal (and cardiac) muscle
Figure from: Hole’s Human A&P, 12th edition, 2010
Structure of the Sarcomere
‘A’ in A band stands for Anisotropic (dArk)
‘I’ i I b d
9
‘I’ in I band stands for Isotropic (LIght)
Zones of non-overlap: I band (thin filaments), and H zone (thick filaments)
A sarcomere runs from Z line (disk) to Z line (disk)(From ‘Z’ to shining ‘Z’!)

Physiology here we come!!
Grasping Physiological Concepts
• The steps in a physiological process give you the ‘when’, i.e. tell you when things happen and/or the order in which they happen.
11
• For each step in a process, you should MUST ask yourself the following questions - and be sure you get answers!– How? (How does it happen?)
– Why? (Why it happens and/or why it’s important?)
– What? (What happens?)
Sliding Filament Theory
Theory used to explain these

MyofilamentsThick Filaments
• composed of myosin• cross-bridges
Thin Filaments• composed of actin• associated with troponinand tropomyosin

What would happen if ATP was not present?
Cycle repeats about 5 times/secEach power stroke shortens sarcomere by about 1%So, each second the sarcomere shortens by about 5%

Neuromuscular Junction
• site where axon and muscle fiber communicate• motor neuron• motor end plate• synaptic cleft
17
• synaptic vesicles• neurotransmitters
The neurotransmitter for initiating skeletal muscle contraction is acetylcholine (ACh)
Figures from: Saladin, Anatomy & Physiology, McGraw Hill, 2007
SR
Ca2+Ca2+
Ca2+ Ca2+Ca2+
Stimulus for Contraction: Depolarization• nerve impulse causes release of acetylcholine (ACh) from synaptic vesicles
• ACh binds to acetylcholine receptors on motor end plate
• generates a muscle impulse
18
• muscle impulse eventuallyreaches sarcoplasmic reticulum (via T tubules) and Ca2+ is released
• acetylcholine is destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
Linking of nerve stimulation with muscle contraction is called excitation-contraction coupling

Summary of Skeletal Muscle Contraction

Contraction Relaxation
7
Modes of ATP Synthesis During ExerciseMuscle stores enough ATP for about 4-6 seconds worth of contraction, but is the only energy source used directly by muscle. So, how is energy provided for prolonged contraction?
20
Figure from: Saladin, Anatomy & Physiology, McGraw Hill, 2007
(ATP and CP)
Continual shift from one energy source to another rather than an abrupt change
Energy Sources for Contraction
1) Creatine phosphate• stores energy that quickly converts ADP to ATP
CP + ATP id b t
Figure from: Hole’s Human A&P, 12th edition, 2010
21
2) Glycolysis (30 sec – 2 min)
3) Aerobic respiration
• CP + ATP provide about 10-15 seconds of energy
myoglobin stores extra oxygen
Oxygen Debt
• when oxygen is not available
• glycolysis continues
Oxygen debt – amount of extra oxygen needed by liver to convert lactic acid to glucose, resynthesize creatine-P, and replace O2 removed from myoglobin.
22
• glycolysis continues
• pyruvic acid converted to lactic acid (WHY?)
• liver converts lactic acid to glucose
(The Cori Cycle)Figure from: Hole’s Human A&P, 12th edition, 2010
8
Muscle Fatigue
• Inability to maintain force of contraction
• Commonly caused by • decreased blood flow
23
• ion imbalances• accumulation of lactic acid• relative decrease in ATP availability• decrease in stored ACh
• Cramp – sustained, involuntary contraction
Length-Tension RelationshipFigure from: Martini, Anatomy & Physiology, Prentice Hall, 2001
24Maximum tension in striated muscle can only be generated when there is optimal overlap between myosin and actin filaments
Muscular Responses
Threshold Stimulus• minimal strength required to cause contraction in an isolated muscle fiber
Recording a Muscle Contraction (myogram)
A single
25
• latent period• period of contraction• period of relaxation• refractory period• all-or-none response
A single twitch
An individual muscle fiber (cell) is either “on” or “off” and produces maximum tension at that resting length for a given frequency of stimulation
9
Treppe, Wave Summation, and Tetanus
Wave (Temporal) SummationTreppe
(10-20/sec)
26
Figure from: Martini, Anatomy & Physiology, Prentice Hall, 2001
Incomplete Tetanus
(20-30/sec)
Complete Tetanus
(>50/sec)
Little/no relaxation period
Tetany is a sustained contraction of skeletal muscle
Treppe, Wave Summation, and Tetanus
• Treppe, Wave Summation, and Tetanus– all involve increases in maximum tension generated in a
muscle fiber after re-stimulation
• The difference among them is WHEN the muscle fiber receives the second and subsequent ti l ti
27
stimulations:– Treppe – stimulation immediately AFTER a muscle cell
has relaxed completely.
– Wave Summation – Stimulation BEFORE a muscle fiber is relaxed completely
• Incomplete tetanus – partial relaxation between stimuli
• Complete tetanus – NO relaxation between stimuli
Motor Unit
• single motor neuron plus all muscle fibers controlled by that motor neuron
** Contraction in a single muscle fiber is
28
single muscle fiber is an “all or none” phenomenon (but remember that the tension will not always be maximal)
Figure from: Hole’s Human A&P, 12th edition, 2010
10
Recruitment of Motor Units
• recruitment - increase in the number of motor units activated to perform a task
• whole muscle composed of many motor units
29
• as intensity of stimulation increases, recruitment of motor units continues until all motor units are activated
Sustained Contractions
• smaller motor units recruited first• larger motor units recruited later• produces smooth movements• muscle tone – continuous state of partial contraction
30
Types of Contractions
• isotonic – muscle contracts and changes length
• concentric – shortening contraction
• isometric – muscle “contracts” but does not change length
• eccentric – lengthening contraction

StrengthSmall diameter, least powerful
Intermediate diameter/strength
Greatest diameter, most powerful

Capillary blood supply Dense Intermediate Sparse
All fibers in any given motor unit are of the same type
Smooth Muscle Fibers
Compared to skeletal muscle fibers• shorter• single nucleus• elongated with tapering ends• myofilaments organized
33
y gdifferently• no sarcomeres, so no striations• lack transverse tubules• sarcoplasmic reticula not well developed• exhibit stress-relaxation response
Figure from: Martini, Anatomy & Physiology, Prentice Hall, 2001
Types of Smooth Muscle
Single-unit smooth muscle• visceral smooth muscle• sheets of muscle fibers that function as a group, i.e., a single unit
fi
Multiunit Smooth Muscle• fibers function separately, i.e., as multiple independent units
f
34
• fibers held together by gap junctions• exhibit rhythmicity• exhibit peristalsis• walls of most hollow organs, blood vessels, respiratory/urinary/ reproductive tracts
• muscles of eye, piloerector muscles, walls of large blood vessels
12
Smooth Muscle Contraction
• Resembles skeletal muscle contraction• interaction between actin and myosin• both use calcium and ATP• both depend on impulses
• Different from skeletal muscle contraction• smooth muscle lacks troponin
35
smooth muscle lacks troponin• smooth muscle depends on calmodulin• two neurotransmitters affect smooth muscle
• acetylcholine and norepinephrine• hormones affect smooth muscle• have gap junctions• stretching can trigger smooth muscle contraction• smooth muscle slower to contract and relax• smooth muscle more resistant to fatigue
Cardiac Muscle
• only in the heart• muscle fibers joined together by intercalated discs• fibers branch• network of fibers contracts as a unit (gap junctions)
36
unit (gap junctions)• self-exciting and rhythmic• longer refractory period than skeletal muscle (slower contract.)• cannot be tetanized• fatigue resistant• has sarcomeres
