IntroductionIntroduction
• Muscular tissue enables the body and its parts to move Movement is caused by ability of muscle cells
(called fibers) to shorten or contract Muscle cells shorten by converting chemical
energy (obtained from food) into mechanical energy, which causes movement
Three types of muscle tissue exist in the body

Muscle TissueMuscle Tissue
• Types of muscle tissue Skeletal muscle—also called striated or
voluntary muscle Is 40% to 50% of body weight; attached to bones Microscope reveals crosswise stripes or striations Contractions can be voluntarily controlled

Cardiac muscle—composes bulk of heart Cardiac muscle cells branch frequently Characterized by unique dark bands called
intercalated disks Interconnected nature of cardiac muscle cells
allows heart to contract efficiently as a unit

Types of muscle tissue (cont’d) Nonstriated muscle or involuntary muscle—also
called smooth or visceral muscle Lacks cross stripes or striation when seen under a
microscope; appears smooth Found in walls of hollow visceral structures such
as digestive tract, blood vessels, and ureters Contractions not under voluntary control;
movement caused by contractions is involuntary Function—all muscle cells specialize in
contraction (shortening)

skeletal muscle cells and connective tissue Extend from one bone across a joint to another
bone

• Structure
Parts of a skeletal muscle: Origin—attachment to the bone that remains
relatively fixed when movement at the joint occurs
Insertion—point of attachment to the bone that moves when a muscle contracts
Body—main part of the muscle

Muscles attach to the bone by tendons—strong cords of fibrous connective tissue
Some tendons: enclosed in synovial-lined tubes and lubricated by synovial fluid
Bursae—small synovial-lined sacs containing a small amount of synovial fluid

cells called fibers Each fiber contains two kinds of very fine,
threadlike structures: Thick myofilaments =Myosin Thin myofilaments =Actin

called Z lines Sliding filament model explains mechanism of
contractiono Thick and thin myofilaments slide past each other as
a muscle contracts

Functions of Skeletal MuscleFunctions of Skeletal Muscle
• Movement Muscles produce movement As muscle contracts, it pulls the insertion bone
closer to the origin bone Movement occurs at the joint between the origin
and the insertion

• Movement Groups of muscles usually contract to produce a
single movemento Prime mover—contraction is mainly responsible for
producing a movemento Synergist—contractions help the prime mover
produce a movemento Antagonist—actions oppose the action of a prime
mover in a movement

• Posture Tonic contraction: specialized muscle
contraction that enables us to maintain body position Only a few of a muscle’s fibers shorten at one
time Tonic contractions produce no movement
Tonic contractions maintain muscle tone called posture

• Heat production Survival depends on the ability to maintain
constant body temperature Fever—an elevated body temperature; often a
sign of illness Hypothermia—a reduced body temperature
Contraction of muscle fibers produces most of the heat required to maintain normal body temperature

FatigueFatigue
• Reduced strength of muscle contraction• Caused by repeated muscle stimulation• Repeated muscular contraction depletes
cellular ATP store and outstrips the ability of the blood supply to replenish oxygen and nutrients
(Cont’d…)
Slide 19Copyright © 2005, Elsevier, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
FatigueFatigue
(…Cont’d)
• Contraction in the absence of adequate oxygen produces lactic acid, which contributes to muscle soreness
• Oxygen debt—the continued metabolic effort required to burn excess lactic acid that may accumulate during prolonged periods of exercise

Role of Other Body Systems in MovementRole of Other Body Systems in Movement
• Muscle functioning depends on the functioning of many other parts of the body
• Respiratory, circulatory, nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems play essential roles in producing normal movements

Motor UnitMotor Unit• Stimulation of a muscle by a nerve impulse is
required to produce movement• Motor neuron: specialized nerve that
transmits an impulse to a muscle, causing contraction
• Neuromuscular junction: specialized point of contact between a nerve ending and the muscle fiber it innervates
• Motor unit: the combination of a motor neuron with the muscle cell(s) it innervates
Slide 22Copyright © 2005, Elsevier, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Muscle StimulusMuscle Stimulus
• A muscle will contract only if an applied stimulus reaches a certain level of intensity Threshold stimulus: minimal level of stimulation
required to cause a muscle fiber to contract
• Once stimulated by a threshold stimulus, a muscle fiber will contract completely, a response called all or none
(Cont’d…)

Muscle StimulusMuscle Stimulus
(…Cont’d)
• Different muscle fibers in a muscle are controlled by different motor units having different threshold-stimulus levels Although individual muscle fibers always
respond all or none to a threshold stimulus, the muscle as a whole does not

Types of Skeletal Muscle ContractionTypes of Skeletal Muscle Contraction
• Twitch and tetanic contractions Twitch contractions—a quick, jerky response
to stimulus Single contraction of muscle fibers caused by
a single threshold stimulus Tetanic contractions—sustained, steady
muscular contractions Caused by a series of stimuli bombarding a
muscle in rapid succession

Types of Skeletal Muscle ContractionTypes of Skeletal Muscle Contraction
(…Cont’d)
• Isotonic contractions Contraction of a muscle that produces
movement at a joint The muscle changes length, causing the
insertion end of the muscle to move relative to the point of origin
Most types of body movements such as walking and running are isotonic contractions

• Isometric contractions Muscle contractions that do not produce
movement The muscle as a whole does not shorten
No movement occurs during isometric contractions, but tension within the muscle increases

nutrients to a muscle via increased blood flow Increases the number of blood vessels in a muscle Does not usually result in muscle hypertrophy
