  • Front
  • Back
functions of muscles
movement, stability, opening/passageway control, heat production, glycemic control
myology
the study of the muscular system
kinds of muscle tissue
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
muscle is specialized for one purpose
converting chemical energy in ATP into the mechanical energy of motion
universal characteristics of muscle
responsiveness, conductivity, contractility, extensibility, elasticity
muscles can only contract they cannot push things so…
muscles must work as pairs
connective tissues associated with a skeletal muscle
fascia
deep fascia
found between adjacent muscles
superficial fascia
found between skin and muscles, contains fat tissue
three parts of a muscle
origin, belly, insertion
origin
attachment to stationary end of muscle
belly
thicker middle region of muscle
insertion
attachment to mobile end of muscle
Fusiform
belly in the middle tendon on either end, function
Triangle
triangle shaped, function
Unipennate
half of a feather, function
Bipennate
full feather, function
Multipennate
multiple tendons, function
Circular
circle shaped, opens and closes openings of the body
intrinsic muscles
contained and effect movement within a region
extrinsic muscles
muscles contained in a region that effect motion in a different region

Indirect attachment

anything with a tendon- tendons bridge the gap between muscle ends and bony attachment

Aponeurosis
tendon that is a flat broad sheet like in your palm
Retinaculum
tendon that lays over other tendons
Direct/ fleshy attachment
direct conection muscle to bone
Muscle fiber
muscle cell
Perimysium
connective tissue hold one fascicle and has blood vessels and nerves in it
Endomysium
hold one muscle fiber
Muscle fascicle
muscle fiber grouping
Epimysium
just inside fascia hold entire muscle
Fascicles
group of muscle cells
Prime mover
produces most of the force
Synergist
stabilizes and modifies direction of movement
Antagonist
oposes prime mover, prevents excessive movement
Fixator
prevents movement of bone that prime mover is attached to
Sarcolemma
cell membrane, has tunnel like transverse t tubles
Transverse tubule
part of the sarcolemma that is inside the cell
Sarcoplastmic reticulem
the form endoplasmic reticulum takes on in muscle is a series of interconnected dilated calcium storage sacs called terminal cisternae
The sarcoplasmic reticulum does what?
carry electrical signals from the cell surface to the interior
Triad
t tubule, sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum
Mitochondria produce the atp that muscles need and are found
throuought the muscle
In one muscle fiber the tube things are
myofibrils
Each muscle fiber contains many
myofibrils
Each myofibril is composed of many
sarcomeres
Sarcoplasm
cytoplasm contains glycogen for stored energy and myoglobin for binding oxygen
When you gain muscle you are
adding more myofibrils to each muscle fiber
list level of organization starting with skeletal muscle
skeletal muscle- fascicle- muscle fiber- myofibrils- sarcomere- thick filaments (myosin) and thin filaments (actin, tropomyosin, troponin)
sarcomere
from one z disc to the next z disk
actin
touches the z disk
myosin
sits in the middle of the z discs held in place by titin
muscles contract by
the z discs getting closer together
titin
holds the myosin myofilament in place between the z discs
H zone
space between the ends of actin, in contraction the H zone disaperes
When your muscle contracts
the pieces of actin get closer together and the myosin gets closer to the z disc causin the sarcomere to be shorter in length
Each muscle fiber is innervated by
only ONE motor neuron
Skeletal muscles are innervated by
somatic motor neurons
Acetycholine
ACh neurotransmitter that is released from nerve fibers and causes stimulation of muscle cell
Schwann cell
envelopes and isolates NMJ
Synaptic cleft
tiny gap between the nerve and muscle cells
Motor end plate
specialized region of muscle cell suface
Synapse
region where a muscle fiber makes a functional connection with its target cell (NMJ)
When you muscle is relaxed there is K+ _____ the cell and Na+ ______ the cell
K+ inside and Na+ outside
excitation
action potentials in the nerve lead to formation of action potentials in muscle fiber Nerve signal stimulates voltage-gated calcium channels that result in exocytosis of synaptic vesicles containing ACh - ACh release
excitation-contraction coupling
action potentials on the sarcolemma activate myofilaments
contraction
shortening of muscle fiber or at least formation of tension
relaxation
return of fiber to its resting length

Motor unit

the amount of muscle fibers touched by ONE neouron

how many nerves can touch a muscle fiber?

only one

one nerve touches how many muscles?

depends on which muscle

what decides how many muscle fibers a nerve touches

its about how controlled the movement has to be


controlled movement like eye muscles, touches few muscle fibers




larger muscles nerves touch more muscle fibers

sodium potassium pump...

puts sodium and potassium back in their places

relaxation phase

Ach chewed up by ache


sodium and potassium put back


calcium removed

higher frequency

gradual increase in strenght


temporal/wave summation


no full recovery


sustained fluttering contractions

maximum frequency

muscle has no time to relax


twitches fuse into smooth prolonged contraction


complete tetanus


rare in human body

length tension - overly contracted

actin ends overlapped things are crunched too much to flex any more

length tension - optimum resting length

all myosin heads can reach actin but space between pieces of actin

length tension - overly stretched

not all myosin heads can reach actin

isometric muscle contration

develops tension without changing length

isotonic muscle contraction

tension and muscle length changeg




tension developed while shortening or lengthening

isotonic concentric

shortening

isotonic eccentric

lengthening

to lift an object you go through what phases in what order

isometric phase builds muscle tension then isotonic muscle length changes

Cross bridge cycle step 1- ATP hydrolysis...

cocks myosin head

brossbridge cycle step 2-

myosin head binds actin forming crossbridge

cross bridge cycle step 3-

release of ADP and P flexes myosin head

cross bridge cycle step 4 -

a new ATP binds myosin head dissolving the crossbridge

myoglobin

in your muscles


stores oxygen

aerobic respiration

uses oxygen from myoglobin


lasts the first few seconds of a workout

phosphagen system

taking two ADP and making one AMP and one ATP

creatine kinase

made from a ADP and creatine Phosphate


is turned into a ATP and a creatine

anaerobic respiration

without oxygen


creates lactic acid

long term energy needs- eventually your body will return to

aerobic respiration once your body catches up

recovery period after exercize is when

your body replenishes all of its stores of oxygen



replenishes the phosphate system


removes lactic acid to glucose in kidneys and liver


slow twitch muscles AKA:

slow oxidative (SO)

Slow twitch muscles

more mitochondria myoglobin and capillaries



adapted to aerobic respiration and resistance to fatigue

fast twitch

rich in enzymes for phosphagen and lactic systems




sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium quickly so contractions are quicker

proportions of muscle types vary depending on

genetics- sprinter V marathoner

Causes of muscle fatigue

ATP synthesis declines as glycogen is consumed causes other processes to not work



NMJ uses up Ach


lactic acid inhibits enzyme function
