Muscles and Locomotion: Unicellular Locomotion
what parts play part in motion? what are the two types of strokes? |
- cilia or flagella
- use POWER STROKE, done by microtubules sliding against each other. - RECOVERY STROKE; movement of cilia or flagella to original position |
|
Invertebrate locomotion
2 types |
A. Hydrostatic Skeleton
B. Exoskeleton |
|
Hydrostatic skeleton
2 examples |
- flatworms
- segmented worms |
|
Hydrostatic skeleton: flatworms
what are the muscles involved? what happens when each muscle type contracts, how are they different? |
- two layers of muscles
> longitudinal > circular - they contract against imcompressible fluid (hydrostatic skeleton) - circular contracts, INCREASED LENGTH - longitudinal contracts, DECREASED LENGTH |
|
Hydrostatic Skeleton: Segmented Worms
|
- each seperate segment can expand or contract independently.
|
|
Exoskeleton
how do they grow? what phylum is a good example in this type? |
- exoskeleton limits growth
>solved by molting, enables larger size. - Arthropods. >all exoskeletons composed of non-cellular material secreted by epidermis |
|
Vertebrate Skeleton
two major components |
- muscles are attached to bone, enabling movement
- bone and cartilage |
|
Cartilage
location? |
- type of connective tissue
- external ear, nose, larynx and trachea, and skeletal joints |
|
Bone
two types of bone? |
- mineralized connective tissue
- compact bone and spongy bone |
|
Compact Bone: Structure
|
- dense, no cavities
- bony matrix in structural units called OSTEONS > has central micro-canal (Haversian canal) >surrounded by circles of bone matrix called LAMELLAE |
|
Spongy Bone: Structure
what are the cavities filled with? |
- less dense
- interconnected lattice of bony spicules (trabeculae) >cavities between spicules is filled with yellow or red marrow |
|
Spony Bone: Marrow
|
- yellow marrow
> inactive, infiltrated by adipose tissue - red marrow > involved in Blood cell (erthrocyte) formation. |
|
Osteocytes
2 types what happens to one when it is surrounded by matrix? |
- Osteoblasts - synthesize and secrete compounds of bone matrix. once surrounded, becomes osteocyte.
- Osteoclasts - destroy bone, helpful in resorption and breakdown of bone. |
|
Bone formation
2 types |
- Endochondral ossification
> existing cartilage is converted to bone. - Intramembranous ossification > mesenchymal (undifferentiated) connective tissue is converted to bone. |
|
Organization of Vertebrate Skeleton
two parts |
- axial skeleton
- appendicular skeleton |
|
Axial skeleton
|
- skull
- vertebral column - rib cage |
|
Appendicular skeleton
|
- bones of appendages
- pectoral/pelvic girdles |
|
Bone Connectivity
|
1. Sutures
> immovable joints, hold bones of skull together. 2. moveable bones relative to each other connected by movable joints, strengthened by ligaments. 3. Tendons > attach skeletal muscle to bones and bend skeleton at movable joints. |
|
Muscular System
3 types of muscle? |
- Skeletal
- Cardiac - Smooth |
|
Skeletal Muscle
what type of movement? |
- voluntary movement
- innervated by SNS -striated muscle |
|
Muscle Fiber anatomy (going from inside out)
what is stored in the Muscle fiber? where? |
1. sarcomere
2. myofibrils 3. sarcoplasmic recticulum (stores Ca2) 4. muscle fiber - cytoplasm of muscle fiber is sarcoplasm - cell membrane is sarcolemma > able to propagate A.P.'s. connects to Transverse tubules (T system) -> oriented perpendicular to myofibrils -> channels for ion flow, can propagate A.P.'s |
|
The Sarcomere
two types of filaments |
- Thin filaments, made up of chains of Actin
- Thick filaments, made up of organized bundles of Myosin. |
|
Sarcomere: structure (ZMIHA)
|
- Z lines: boundaries of single sarcomere and anchor thin filaments
- M lines: runs down center of sarcomere - I band: region with only thin filaments. - H zone: region with only thick filaments. - A band: spans length of thck filaments, and overlaps portions of thin. |
|
Neuromuscular junction
|
- link between nerve terminal and sarcolemma
|
|
Contraction of muscle fiber
6 steps |
1. SNS depolarizes Motor neuron, release Ach into cleft, binding occurs on receptors of sarcolemma.
2. enough bound Ach, causes A.P.'s to conduct down sarcolemma and T system and into muscle fiber interior. 3. causes sarcoplasmic recticulum to release Ca2+ into sarcoplasm 4. initiates contraction of sarcomere by binding tropomyosin 5. allows actin and myosin to slide by each other 6. sarcomere contracts. |
|
Stimulus and Muscle response
what type of response do individual muscle fibers exhibit what is necessary for contraction to occur? |
- all or nothing response
- when there is a stimulus above threshold, contraction will occur. |
|
Twitchy twitchy twitchy
what is the two parts of stimulant needed for contraction? |
- Simple twitch
- summation and tetanus |
|
Simple twitch
periods? whats another name for the last period? |
- latent period: time between stimulation and onset of contraction
- Contraction period: A.P.'s spread along sarcolemma > Ca2+ released into sarcoplasm - Relaxation period (absolute refractory period): muscle unresponsive to stimulus for a small period of time. |
|
Summation and Tetanus
|
- contractions combine
> summation - muscle doesn't relax > tetanus contraction. |
|
What is Tonus?
|
- state of partial contraction. muscle never completely relaxed, maintain partial state at all times.
|
|
Smooth muscle
location? what type of actions? what innervates it? |
- digestive tract, bladder, uterus, blood vessel walls.
- involuntary actions, no striation - Autonomic nervous system innervates smooth - can possess one central nucleus in smooth muscle cells. |
|
Cardiac Muscle
two types? |
- both skeletal and smooth characteristics
- Skeletal Cardiac: striated > sarcomeres - Smooth Cardiac: CMC's have only one or two central located nuclei. > it is controlled by ANS mostly. |
