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.
