muscle types
voluntary striated(skeletal muscle)
involuntary striated (cardiac)
smooth muscles (digestive tract)
muscular functions
movement, maintenance of posture, production of heat & body temp, support of internal organs, control of entrances & exits to urinary, reproduction, and digestive systems
three layers of connect tissue that surround each bundle of skeletal muscle
-epimysium
-perimysium
-endomysium
epimysium
surrounds the entire muscle
perimysium
divides larger bundle into mid-level bundles; blood vessels and nerve endings lie within the perimysium
endomysium
surrounds individual muscle fibers
muscular attachments; origins & insertions
origins, insertions, tendons, aponeurosis
origins
more proximal or more stationary attachments
insertions
more distal or more mobile attachments
tendons
attach muscle to bone
aponeurosis
a flat tendon sheet that attaches a flat muscle
heads
major divisions of muscles
belly/gaster
fleshy portion of a head of a muscle
sarcolemma
cell membrane
myofibrills
lie parallel to length of muscle and overlap each other in regular pattern
myosin
-thick filaments composed of hundreds of high molecular weight molecules
-hinged head at end of each strand
actin
-thin filaments that have active sites where myosin cross-bridges may attach
two components of actin
-troponin: active sites where calcium ions attach
-tropomyosin: covers the actin-active sites and prevents formation of cross-bridges between myosin & actin
sarcoplasm
-muscle cell cytoplasm
-includes sarcoplasmic reticulum, transverse tubules, muscles
sarcoplasmic reticulum
stores calcium ions, release of calcium ions from sarcoplasmis reticulum initiates muscle contraction
transverse tubules
extend from plasma membrane into muscle fibers, transverse tubules transmit action potentials into muscle
motor endplates
areas on surface of sarcolemma which fit with terminal feet of axons of motor neurons
sarcomere
contractile unit of muscle, overlap of myosin and actin creates striated pattern
stimulus
change in environment of a nerve that causes it to depolarize the resting potential and produce an action potential, or wave of electrical charge
action potential
created by depolarization of membrane, immediately changing permeability of membrane to ions
muscle fatigue
occurs when a muscle cannot contract despite nervous stimulation
causes: exhaustion of energy reserves (ATP), buildup of lactic acid lowers pH of tissues and prevents normal muscular function
motor unit
all muscle cells controlled by a single motor neuron
summanation
occurs when a second stimulus arrives before relaxation has ended, creating a more powerful contraction
incomplete tetanus
occurs when tension peaks after repeated stimulation of a muscle
complete tetanus
occurs when stimulation is so frequent that relaxation phase is totally eliminted
recruitment
increase in musclular tension produced by increasing number of active motor units
peak tension
occurs when all motor units in a muscle contract in complete tetanus
muscular atrophy
occurs when skeletal muscle is not stimulated regularly, resulting in decreased size and strength
hypertrophy
increase of muscle size and strength--occurs with use
aerobis enduranceis
improved by sustained training at low levels of muscular activity
anaerobic endurance
performance at levels supported by glyolysis and stored ATP, requires training to hypertrophy fast-twitch muscle fibers
