Skeletal Muscle
Human body contains over 400 skeletal muscles– 40-50% of total body weight
Functions of skeletal muscle– Force production for locomotion and breathing– Force production for postural support– Heat production during cold stress

Structure of Skeletal Muscle:Microstructure Sarcolemma
– Muscle cell membrane Myofibrils
– Threadlike strands within muscle fibers– Actin (thin filament)
• Troponin• Tropomyosin
– Myosin (thick filament)• Myosin head• Crossbridge location
![Page 5: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Microstructure of Skeletal Muscle
![Page 6: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Structure of Skeletal Muscle:The Sarcomere Functional unit
– Z-line – “anchor” points for actin filaments– Sarcomere is Z-line to Z-line
Within the sarcoplasm– Transverse tubules
• Communication into the cell
– Sarcoplasmic reticulum• Storage sites for calcium
– Terminal cisternae• Storage sites for calcium
![Page 7: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Within the Sarcoplasm
![Page 8: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Neuromuscular Junction
Site where motor neuron meets the muscle fiber– Separated by gap called the neuromuscular cleft
Motor end plate– Pocket formed around motor neuron by sarcolemma
Acetylcholine is released from the motor neuron– Causes an end-plate potential – Depolarization of muscle fiber
![Page 9: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Muscular Contraction
The sliding filament model– Muscle shortening is due to movement of
the actin filament over the myosin filament
– Reduces the distance between Z-lines
![Page 11: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Cross-Bridge Formation in Muscle Contraction
![Page 13: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Energy for Muscle Contraction
ATP is required for muscle contraction– Myosin ATPase breaks down ATP as fiber
contracts
![Page 14: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Excitation-Contraction Coupling
Depolarization of motor end plate (excitation) is coupled to muscular contraction– Nerve impulse travels along sarcolemma and down
T-tubules to cause a release of Ca++ from SR– Ca++ binds to troponin and causes position change
in tropomyosin, exposing active sites on actin– Permits strong binding state between actin and
myosin and contraction occurs– ATP is hydrolyzed and energy goes to myosin
head which releases from actin
![Page 15: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Fiber Types and Performance
Successful Power athletes – Sprinters, jumpers, strikers– Possess high percentage of fast fibers
Successful Endurance athletes – Distance runners, cyclists, swimmers– Have high percentage of slow fibers
Others– Skill sport athletes and probably non-athletes– Have about 50% slow and 50% fast fibers
![Page 23: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How Is Fiber Type Distributed In a Population?
100% FT100% ST
50% Each
![Page 24: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How do I get more FT muscle fibers?
Grow more? Change my ST to FT?
Pick the right parents?
![Page 25: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Alteration of Fiber Type by Training Endurance and resistance training
– Cannot make FT into ST or ST into FT– Can make a shift in IIa….
• toward more oxidative properties• toward more glycolytic properties
![Page 26: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
So how do I gain strength?
![Page 27: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Protein Arrangement and Strength
Increase sarcomeres (myofibrils) in parallel– more cross bridges to pull– requires more room in diameter– requires more fluid– hypertrophy
![Page 28: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Increase in sarcomeres in series?– Only with growth in height / limb length– Sarcomeres would crowd each other– Would result in decreased force production
Protein Arrangement and Strength
![Page 29: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Protein Arrangement and Strength
Hyperplasia?– more cells– stem cells – for injury repair
![Page 30: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

– penniform
![Page 31: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
More sarcomeres in parallel, more tension produced
More cross bridges generating tension
Protein Arrangement and Strength
![Page 32: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Age-Related Changes in Skeletal Muscle Aging is associated with a loss of
muscle mass (sarcopoenia)– independent of training status– associated with less testosterone
Regular exercise / training can improve strength and endurance– Cannot completely eliminate the age-
related loss in muscle mass
![Page 33: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Types of Muscle Contraction
Isometric– Muscle exerts force without changing length– Pulling against immovable object– Stabilization– Postural muscles
![Page 34: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Types of Muscle Contraction
Isotonic (dynamic)– Concentric
• Muscle shortens during force production
– Eccentric• Muscle produces force but length increases
![Page 35: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Force and Speed of Contraction Regulation in Muscle
Types and number of motor units utilized– More motor units = greater force
• “Recruitment”
– More FT motor units = even greater force• “Contribution”

Determinants of Contraction Velocity- Single Fiber
Nerve conduction velocity
Myofibrillar ATPase activity
![Page 46: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Determinants of Contraction Velocity- Whole Muscle
Same factors as for single fiber– Nerve conduction velocity– ATPase activity
Number of FT fibers recruited
![Page 47: Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function Chapter 8](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649ce65503460f949b3a8f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Force-Velocity Relationship
At any absolute force the speed of movement is greater in muscle with higher percent of fast-twitch fibers– The fastest fibers can contribute while the slow
cannot The maximum force is greatest at the lowest
velocity of shortening– True for both slow and fast-twitch fibers– All can contribute at slow velocities

Force-Power Relationship
At any given velocity of movement the power generated is greater in a muscle with a higher percent of fast-twitch fibers
The peak power increases with velocity up to movement speed of 200-300 degrees•second-1
– Force decreases with increasing movement speed beyond this velocity

Receptors in Muscle
Muscle spindle– Detect dynamic and static changes in muscle length– Stretch reflex
• Stretch on muscle causes reflex contraction
