Ability to be stretched

Elasticity

Ability to recoil to resting length

Muscle Functions

1. Movement of bones or fluids


2. Maintaining posture and body position.


3. Stabilizing joints


4. Heat generation

Each muscle is served by _____

Each muscle is served by one artery, one nerve, and one or more veins

What are the Connective tissue sheaths of skeletal muscle ?

Epimysium, Perimysuim, Endomysuim.

There is three: P.E.E

Epimysium

Dense regular connective tissue surrounding entire muscle.

Perimysuim

Fibrous connective tissue surrounding fascicles (groups of muscle fibers)

Endomysium

Fine areolar connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber.

Know the Muscle parts.

Myofibrils


Three characteristics

Densly packed, rodlike elements


80 % of cell volume


Exhibits striations: perfectly aligned repeating series of a dark A bands and light I bands.

Myofibril

Sarcomere


Three characteristics

Smallest contractile unit (functional unit) of a muscle fiber.


The region of a myofibril between two successive Z discs.


Composed of thick and thin myofilaments made of contractile proteins.

Thick filaments

Run the entire length of an A band

Thin filaments

Run the length of the I band and partway into the A band.

Z disc

Coin-shaped sheet of proteins that anchors the thin filaments and connects myofibrils to one another.

H zone

Lighter midregion where filaments do not overlap.

M line

Line of protein myomesin that holds adjacent thick filaments together.

Enlargements of one sarcomere

Longitudinal section of filaments within one sarcomere of a myofibril

Myosin tails contain

2 interwoven, heavy polypeptide chains

Myosin heads contain

2 smaller, light polypeptide chains that act as cross bridges during contraction.



Binding sites for actin of thin filaments



Binding sites for ATP



ATPase enzymes


Insertion

Attachment to movable bone

Origin

Attachment to immovable or less movable bone.

Direct (fleshy)

Epimysium fused to periosteum if th bone or perichondrium if cartilage.

Indirect

Connective tissue wrappings extend beyond muscle as ropelike tendon or sheetlike aponeurosis

Sacolemma

Muscle fiber plasma membrane

Sacroplasm

Muscle fiber cytoplasm

Contains many glycosomes for glycogen storage as well as myoglobin for O2 storage.

Muscle fiber

Modified organelles

Myofibril, Sacroplasmic recticulum
