1. Derivation of name
Muscle (Latin Mus= mouse) are so named because many of them resemble a mouse, with their tendons representing the tail.

Definition
• Muscle is a contractile tissue which brings about movements.
• Muscles can be regarded as motors of the body.
![Page 4: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Other contractile cells:
Myofibroblasts- seen in regenerating connective tissue.
Myoepitheliocytes - associated with glands.

BASIC PROPERTIES • IRRITABILITY:
– Sensitive to stimuli
• CONTRACTILITY:– When stimulated, the contracts lengthwise
leading to its shortening
• EXTENSIBILITY:– Once stimuli removed, the muscle fibers
return to their original length.
• ELASTICITY:– Muscle assumes a desired shape.

Types of muscles
There are three types of muscles :
1. Skeletal muscles
2. Smooth muscles
3. Cardiac muscles
![Page 7: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Skeletal muscle tissue•Attached to skeleton•Cross-striated•Voluntarily controlled• Cells are cylindrical and multinucleated• They respond quickly but fatigue easily
![Page 8: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cardiac muscle tissue• Makes up myocardium of heart• Unconsciously (involuntarily) controlled• Microscopically appears striated• Cells are short, branching & have a single nucleus• Cells connect to each other at intercalated discs
![Page 9: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Smooth (visceral) muscle tissue• Makes up walls of organs & blood vessels• Tissue is non-striated & involuntary• Cells are short, spindle-shaped & have a single nucleus• Tissue is extremely extensible, while still retaining ability to contract

SynonymsSynonyms
1. Striped muscles
2. Striated muscles
3. Somatic muscles
4. Voluntary muscles
![Page 11: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Parts of a skeletal muscle
A. Two ends1. Origin is one end of the muscle which remains fixed during its contraction.
2. Insertion is the other end which moves during its contraction.
In the limb muscles, origin is usually proximal to insertion.
![Page 12: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Fleshy part is contractile, and is called the ‘belly’.
2. Fibrous part is non-contractile and inelastic. When cord-like or rope-like, it is called ‘tendon’ ; when flattened it is called ‘aponeurosis’.
B. Two parts

A. CONTRACTILE TISSUE
• Each muscle is composed of numerous muscle fascicles.
• Each muscle fascicle has numerous muscle fibres.
• Each muscle fibre is a multinucleated, cross-striated cylindrical cell (myocyte).
Structure of striated muscle
![Page 14: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MYOCYTE• Sarcolemma- membrane
• Peripheral nuclei – Multinucleated
• Sarcoplasm- cytoplasm
• Longitudinal myofibrils
![Page 15: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MYOFIBRIL• Each myofibril is composed of
longitudinal protein filaments, called myofilaments:
– Actin (thin)
– Myosin (thick)
• Each myofibril shows alternate dark and light bands– Dark bands :
A bands (anisotropic)
– Light bands:
I bands (isotropic).• In the middle of the A band, there is a
light H band with M line (dark) in the middle.
• In the middle of the I band there is a dark Z disc or Krauses membrane.

• The segment of myofibril between two Z discs is called sarcomere.
• Sarcomere is the structural and functional unit of muscle.
![Page 18: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
B. SUPPORTING TISSUE
• It helps in the organization of the muscle.
• Epimysium
• Perimysium
• Endomysium
• The connective tissue of the muscle becomes continuous with the tendon.
![Page 19: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Slow and Fast Muscle Fibres
1. Type I (slow,red) fibres
• show a slow ‘tonic’ contraction characteristic of postural muscles.
• They are red in colour because of large amounts of myoglobin.
• The fibres are rich in mitochondria and oxidative enzymes but poor in phosphorylases.
• Because of well developed metabolism, slow fibers are highly resistant to fatigue.
![Page 21: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Type II (fast,white) fibres • show a fast ‘phasic’ contraction required for
large-scale movements of body segments (non-postural muscles)
• These are paler (white) in color because of small amounts of myoglobin.
• These fibres are rich in glycogen and phosphorylases, but poor in mitochondria and oxidative enzymes.
• Because of anaerobic glycolytic respiration, the fast fibres are quite easily fatigued.
![Page 22: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
FUNCTIONS• MOTION:
– E.g. Walking, running
• HEAT PRODUCTION:– Metabolism within muscle cell release heat as
end product. – Rate of heat production increases when
person performs strenuous exercise.
• POSTURE AND BODY SUPPORT:

Lubricating Mechanisms
1. Synovial bursae: • To reduce friction
between two mobile but tightly apposed surfaces.
• Structurally it is a closed sac of synovial membrane with a capillary film of synovial fluid.
![Page 37: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
2. Synovial sheaths:
• Tendons, while passing under the fibrous bands, are surrounded by synovial sheaths.
• Formed by invagination of the tendons into the sheath.
• The two layers are separated by a capillary film of synovial fluid
![Page 38: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Blood supply of skeletal muscle
• Blood supply is derived from muscular branches from neighbouring arteries.
• The arteries, veins and motor nerve pierce the muscle at a fairly constant point called neurovascular hilum.
• The arteries divide repeatedly to form arterioles in the perimysium, and capillaries in the endomysium for nutritive circulation.
![Page 39: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Nerve supply of skeletal muscle The nerve supplying a muscle is called a motor nerve. In fact it is a
mixed nerve.

• MOTOR POINT: Site where motor nerve enters the muscle. It may be one or more than one.
• MOTOR UNIT (MYONE): Single alpha motor neuron together with the muscle fibres supplied by it. The size of motor unit depends upon the precision the muscle control.– Small motor units (5-10 muscle fibres) are found in
muscles of fine movements (extra-ocular muscles).
– Large motor units (100-2000 muscle fibres) are found in muscles of gross movements (proximal limb muscles).
![Page 43: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTIONS:
• On approaching the muscle the axons of motor nerve loose their myelin sheath and break up into a number of branches to supply the individual muscle fibres.
• These specialized motor nerve endings, rich in acetylcholine form junction with the muscle fibre calledNeuromuscular junction.
![Page 44: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Nerve part:– Motor end plate– Pre synaptic membrane– Synaptic vesicle
• Muscle part:– Sole plate– Synaptic Cleft– Granular sarcoplasm– Nuclei & mitochondria– Subneural clefts

Neuromuscular Spindle• Definition:
– Spindle shaped sensory end organs within skeletal muscle provide sensory information to CNS to control tone of muscle.
• Each spindle:– Intrafusal fibers
– Extrafusal fibers
![Page 46: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
ACTION OF MUSCLES
• Muscle Tone: The constant tension produced by muscles for long period of time.
• Type of muscle contraction:
• Isometric contraction– length of muscles do not change but tension
does increases..
• Isotonic contraction – Tension produced by muscle is constant during
contraction but length of muscle changes.
![Page 47: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

A. Prime movers (agonists) Bring about the desired movement.
B. Antagonists (opponents) Produce movement opposite to prime mover. They help the prime movers by active controlled relaxation.
C. Fixators They stabilize the origin of prime mover so it can act efficiently.
D. Synergists: When the prime movers cross more than one joint, the undesired actions at the proximal joints are prevented by certain muscles known as synergists

APPLIED ANATOMYPARALYSIS
Loss of motor power (power of movement)
This is due to inability of muscles to contract either because of damage to motor pathways or by inherent disease of muscles (myopathy).
![Page 50: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
APPLIED ANATOMY
MUSCULAR SPASM
Localized muscle spasm is commonly caused by a ‘muscle pull’. Generalized muscle spasms occur in tetanus and epilepsy.
DISUSE ATROPHY muscles which are not used for a long time become thin and weak. This is called disuse atrophy.
![Page 51: General anatomy of muscles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050800/58edb48c1a28abb8788b45e1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
APPLIED ANATOMY
OVERUSE HYPERTROPHY
Excessive use of a particular muscle causes the better development of that muscle evident by increase in size and bulk.
MUSCLE REGENERATION
Muscles have a limited capability of regeneration.
