Muscular System
• Macrostructure and Microstructure– Each skeletal muscle is an organ that contains
muscle tissue, connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.
– Fibrous connective tissue, or epimysium, covers the body's more than 430 skeletal muscles.
![Page 5: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Schematic Drawing of a Muscle
• Figure 1.1 (next slide)– Schematic drawing of a muscle illustrating three
types of connective tissue: • Epimysium (the outer layer)
• Perimysium (surrounding each fasciculus, or group of fibers)
• Endomysium (surrounding individual fibers)

Motor Unit
• Figure 1.2 (next slide)– A motor unit consists of a motor neuron and the
muscle fibers it innervates.
– There are typically several hundred muscle fibers in a single motor unit.

Myosin and Actin
• Figure 1.4 (next slide)– The slide shows a detailed view of the myosin and
actin protein filaments in muscle.
– The arrangement of myosin (thick) and actin (thin) filaments gives skeletal muscle its striated appearance.
![Page 12: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

![Page 13: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Key Point
• The discharge of an action potential from a motor nerve signals the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the myofibril, causing tension development in muscle.
![Page 14: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Muscular System
• Sliding-Filament Theory of Muscular Contraction– The sliding-filament theory states that the actin
filaments at each end of the sarcomere slide inward on myosin filaments, pulling the Z-lines toward the center of the sarcomere and thus shortening the muscle fiber.
![Page 15: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Contraction of a Myofibril
• Figure 1.5 (next slide)– (a) In stretched muscle the I-bands and H-zone are
elongated, and there is low force potential due to reduced cross-bridge–actin alignment.
– (b) When muscle contracts (here partially), the I-bands and H-zone are shortened.
– (c) With completely contracted muscle, there is low force potential due to reduced cross-bridge–actin alignment.
![Page 16: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

![Page 19: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Neuromuscular System
• Activation of Muscles– Arrival of the action potential at the nerve terminal
causes the release of acetylcholine. Once a sufficient amount of acetylcholine is released, an action potential is generated across the sarco-lemma, and the fiber contracts.
– The extent of control of a muscle depends on the number of muscle fibers within each motor unit.
• Muscles that function with great precision may have as few as one muscle fiber per motor neuron.
• Muscles that require less precision may have several hundred fibers served by one motor neuron.
![Page 20: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Key Term
• all-or-none principle: All of the muscle fibers in the motor unit contract and develop force at the same time. There is no such thing as a motor neuron stimulus that causes only some of the fibers to contract. Similarly, a stronger action potential cannot produce a stronger contraction.
![Page 21: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Neuromuscular System
• Muscle Fiber Types – Type I (slow-twitch)
– Type IIa (fast-twitch)• Type IIab (fast-twitch); now named as Type IIax• Type IIb (fast-twitch); now named as Type IIx
![Page 24: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Key Point
• Motor units are composed of muscle fibers with specific morphological and physio-logical characteristics that determine their functional capacity.
![Page 26: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Neuromuscular System
• Motor Unit Recruitment Patterns During Exercise– The force output of a muscle can be varied through
change in the frequency of activation of individual motor units or change in the number of activated motor units.
![Page 27: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Neuromuscular System
• Preloading– Occurs when a load is lifted, since sufficient force
must be developed to overcome the inertia of the load
• Proprioception– Information concerning kinesthetic sense, or
conscious appreciation of the position of body parts with respect to gravity
– Processed at subconscious levels
![Page 29: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Key Point
• Proprioceptors are specialized sensory receptors that provide the central nervous system with information needed to maintain muscle tone and perform complex coordi-nated movements.
![Page 30: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Neuromuscular System
• How Can Athletes Improve Force Production?– Recruit large muscles or muscle groups during an
activity.– Increase the cross-sectional area of muscles
involved in the desired activity. – Preload a muscle just before a concentric action to
enhance force production during the subsequent muscle action.
– Use preloading during training to develop strength early in the range of motion.
![Page 31: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Neuromuscular System
• Proprioception – Muscle Spindles
• Muscle spindles are proprioceptors that consist of several modified muscle fibers enclosed in a sheath of connective tissue.
![Page 32: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Muscle Spindle
• Figure 1.7 (next slide)– When a muscle is stretched, deformation of the
muscle spindle activates the sensory neuron, which sends an impulse to the spinal cord, where it synapses with a motor neuron, causing the muscleto contract.
![Page 33: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Neuromuscular System
• Proprioception – Golgi Tendon Organs (GTO)
• Golgi tendon organs are proprioceptors located in tendons near the myotendinous junction.
• They occur in series (i.e., attached end to end) with extrafusal muscle fibers.
![Page 35: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Golgi Tendon Organ
• Figure 1.8 (next slide)– When an extremely heavy load is placed on the
muscle, discharge of the GTO occurs.
– The sensory neuron of the GTO activates an inhibitory interneuron in the spinal cord, which in turn synapses with and inhibits a motor neuron serving the same muscle.
![Page 36: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Neuromuscular System
• Older Muscle – Muscle function is reduced in older adults.
– Reductions in muscle size and strength are amplified in weight-bearing extensor muscles.
– Muscle atrophy with aging results from losses in both number and size of muscle fibers, especially Type II muscle fibers.
– Inactivity plays a major role but cannot account for all of the age-related loss of muscle and function.

Cardiovascular System
• Heart– The heart is a muscular organ made up of two
interconnected but separate pumps.• The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.• The left ventricle pumps blood to the rest of the body.

Cardiovascular System
• Blood Vessels – Blood vessels operate in a closed-circuit system.
– The arterial system carries blood away from the heart.
– The venous system returns blood toward the heart.
![Page 51: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Cardiovascular System
• Blood– Hemoglobin transports oxygen and serves as an
acid–base buffer.
– Red blood cells facilitate carbon dioxide removal.
![Page 55: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Key Point
• The cardiovascular system transports nutrients and removes waste products while helping to maintain the environment for all the body’s functions. The blood transports oxygen from the lungs to the tissues for use in cellular metabolism, and it transports carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs, where it is removed from the body.

Respiratory System
• Exchange of Air– The amount and movement of air and expired gases
in and out of the lungs are controlled by expansion and recoil of the lungs.
![Page 60: Chap01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b491f1a28abcb2e8b47e3/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

Respiratory System
• Exchange of Respiratory Gases– The primary function of the respiratory system is the
basic exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
