Skeletal Muscle Characteristics Most are attached by tendons to bones Cells are multinucleate Striated—have visible banding Voluntary—subject to conscious control
![Page 5: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Connective Tissue of Skeletal Muscle Cells are surrounded and bundled
by connective tissue◦ Endomysium—encloses a single
muscle fiber◦ Perimysium—wraps around a
fascicle (bundle) of muscle fibers◦ Epimysium—covers the entire
skeletal muscle◦ Fascia—on the outside of the
epimysium

Smooth Muscle Characteristics Lacks striations Spindle-shaped cells Single nucleus Involuntary—no conscious
control Found mainly in the walls of
hollow organs

Cardiac Muscle Characteristics Striations Usually has a single nucleus Branching cells Joined to another muscle cell at an intercalated disc Involuntary Found only in the heart

Skeletal Muscle Functions Produce movement Maintain posture Stabilize joints Generate heat

Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle Sarcolemma—specialized plasma membrane Myofibrils—long organelles inside muscle cell Sarcoplasmic reticulum—specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum
![Page 10: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle Myofibrils are aligned to give distinct bands◦ I band = light band
Contains only thin filaments◦ A band = dark band
Contains the entire length of the thick filaments
![Page 11: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle Sarcomere—contractile unit of a muscle fiber Organization of the sarcomere◦ Myofilaments
Thick filaments = myosin filaments Thin filaments = actin filaments
![Page 12: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle At rest, there is a bare zone that lacks actin filaments called the H
zone Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) ◦ Stores and releases calcium◦ Surrounds the myofibril
![Page 13: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Stimulation and Contraction Excitability (also called responsiveness or irritability)—ability to
receive and respond to a stimulus Contractility—ability to shorten when an adequate stimulus is
received Extensibility—ability of muscle cells to be stretched Elasticity—ability to recoil and resume resting length after
stretching
Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by a motor neuron (nerve cell) to contract
Motor unit—one motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle cells stimulated by that neuron

The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potential
![Page 15: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potential Neuromuscular junction◦ Association site of axon terminal of the motor neuron and muscle
![Page 16: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potential Synaptic cleft ◦ Gap between nerve and muscle◦ Nerve and muscle do not make contact◦ Area between nerve and muscle is filled with interstitial fluid
![Page 17: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Transmission of Nerve Impulse to Muscle Neurotransmitter—chemical released by nerve upon arrival of
nerve impulse◦ The neurotransmitter for skeletal muscle is acetylcholine (ACh)
Acetylcholine attaches to receptors on the sarcolemma Sarcolemma becomes permeable to sodium (Na+)
![Page 18: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Sliding Filament Theory of Muscle Contraction Activation by nerve causes myosin heads (cross bridges) to attach to
binding sites on the thin filament Myosin heads then bind to the next site of the thin filament and
pull them toward the center of the sarcomere This continued action causes a sliding of the myosin along the actin The result is that the muscle is shortened (contracted)

Muscles and Body Movements Movement is attained due to a
muscle moving an attached bone
Muscles are attached to at least two points◦ Origin
Attachment to a moveable bone
◦ Insertion Attachment to an
immovable bone
![Page 25: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Types of Ordinary Body Movements Flexion◦ Decreases the angle of the joint◦ Brings two bones closer together◦ Typical of hinge joints like knee and elbow
Extension◦ Opposite of flexion◦ Increases angle between two bones
![Page 26: Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164ff550346895dd76b58/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Types of Ordinary Body Movements Rotation◦ Movement of a bone around its
longitudinal axis◦ Common in ball-and-socket joints◦ Example is when you move atlas
around the dens of axis (shake your head “no”)

Types of Ordinary Body Movements Abduction◦ Movement of a limb away from the
midline Adduction◦ Opposite of abduction◦ Movement of a limb toward the
midline Circumduction◦ Combination of flexion, extension,
abduction, and adduction◦ Common in ball-and-socket joints

movement Antagonist—muscle that opposes or reverses a prime mover Synergist—muscle that aids a prime mover in a movement and
helps prevent rotation Fixator—stabilizes the origin of a prime mover

Naming Skeletal Muscles By direction of muscle fibers◦ Example: Rectus (straight)
By relative size of the muscle◦ Example: Maximus (largest)
By location of the muscle◦ Example: Temporalis (temporal bone)
By number of origins◦ Example: Triceps (three heads)
By location of the muscle’s origin and insertion◦ Example: Sterno (on the sternum)
By shape of the muscle◦ Example: Deltoid (triangular)
By action of the muscle◦ Example: Flexor and extensor (flexes or extends a bone)
