3 types of muscle tissue
1. SKELETAL
2. CARDIAC
3. SMOOTH
Skeletal muscle
STRIATED, VOLUNTARY
not always
Cardiac muscle
STRIATED, INVOLUNTARY
autorhythmic
Smooth muscle
NOT STRIATED, INVOLUNTARY
What 4 tissues make up muscle?
1. MUSCLE TISSUE - skeletal, cardiac, smooth
2. CONNECTIVE TISSUE - fascia around muscle
3. EPITHELIAL TISSUE - blood vessels
4. NERVE TISSUE - nerve supply
What are the 5 functions of the muscular system?
1. BODY MOVEMENT
2. STABILIZING BODY POSITION (posture, standing, sitting)
3. REGULATING ORGAN VOLUME
4. MOVING SUBSTANCES within the body (via muscle contraction)
5. PRODUCING HEAT (shivering) THERMOGENESIS
What are the 4 properties of muscle tissue?
1. ELECTRICAL EXCITABILITY - ability to respond to electrical stimuli
3. EXTENSIBILITY - stretches
3. ELASTICITY - stretches and recoils
4. CONTRACTILITY - contracts
What are the 3 layers of fascia (sheet)?
1. SUPERFICIAL - subQ fat, loose areolar, vessel pathway
2. DEEP - surrounds groups of different muscles; allows free movement of each muscle
3. DEEPER - 3 layers around 1 muscle. EPIMYSIUM, PERIMYSIUM, ENDOMYSIUM
Epimysium
OUTERMOST LAYER, surrounds the entire muscle
Perimysium
SEPARATES FASCIICLES, surrounds fascicles
Endomysium
SEPARATES CELLS (muscle fibers) surrounds individual cells
Tendons attach _________ to ___________.
Ligaments attach ________ to ___________.
TENDONS ATTACH MUSCLE TO BONE

LIGAMENTS ATTACH BONE TO BONE
Myoblasts
HUNDREDS FUSE IN UTERO --> 1 muscle fiber. After fusion, muscle cells NO LONGER DIVIDE in a lifetime...ever. They are MAINTAINED.
Tell me about muscle fibers, their growth, regeneration, and repair.
MUSCLE FIBERS ARE MULTI-NUCLEATED (100s of nuclei) and have RICH BLOOD and NERVE SUPPLY
GROWTH - HYPERTROPHY, increase in size of each cell
REGENERATION IS LIMITED
REPAIR - FIBROSIS, scar formation.
5 Components of muscle fibers
1. SARCOLEMMA
2. SARCOPLASM
3. MYOFIBRILS
4. SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM
5. TRIAD
Sarcolemma
PLASMA MEMBRANE; T-TUBULES (tunnels); an invagination of the cell membrane.
Sacroplasm
CYTOPLASM; rich in mitochondria, myoglobin, and glycogen
Myofibrils
A CONTRACTILE ORGANELLE WITHIN CELL MADE OF MYO FILAMENTS
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
STORES Ca+2 FOR CONTRACTION; TERMINAL STORAGE SACS; called TERMINAL CISTERNAE

ENCIRCLES EACH MYOFIBRIL
Triad
2 TERMINAL CISTERNAE +
1 T-TUBULE
What is the basic unit of myofibrils?
What are it's parts?
SARCOMERES

Parts:
A-BAND
I-BAND
H-ZONE
M-LINE
Myofibrils contain what proteins?
MYOSIN "THICK" FILAMENTS

ACTIN "THIN" FILAMENTS
A-Band
THICK AND THIN
MYOSIN AND ACTIN --> DARK
I-Band
THIN - ACTIN --> WHITE
H-Zone
THICK - MYOSIN --> SOMEWHAT DARK
M-Line
MIDDLE - MYOSIN
How are striations created?
THE PATTERN/OVERLAP OF ZONES AND BANDS OF THE SARCOMERE
One sarcomere connects to another sarcomere connects another...
3 types of skeletal muscle proteins
1. CONTRACILE
2. REGULATORY
3. STRUCTURAL
Contractile muscle proteins
(proteins that contract)
MYOSIN "THICK" FILAMENT

ACTIN "THIN" FILAMENT
Regulatory muscle proteins
(switch contraction on/off)
TROPOMYOSIN - COVERS MYOSIN BINDING SITE (indent in actin) WHEN NOT CONTRACTED

TROPONIN - HOLDS TROPOMYOSIN IN PLACE
