The Muscular SystemThe Muscular SystemApproximately 40% of your body weight is your muscle.
1. Functions
Muscles produce movement. When muscle contracts , it pulls insertion bone near originorigin bone. Movement occurs at joint between origin and insertioninsertion.
OriginOrigin – The bone that moves less, provides the area of attachment for the end of the muscle called the origin.

InsertionInsertion – the movable bone provides the
surface for the muscle’s insertion.
e.g. biceps : origin at the joint of humerus and
scapula, insert on radius.
triceps : origin at humerus, scapula and
clavicle, inserts on ulna.a. Biceps and triceps work in opposing pairs in an
antagonistic system.
b. Groups of muscles usually contract to produce a single movement – synergistic pattern.
e.g. extension of lower legs is by rectus
femoris, gracilis and sartorius.

2. There are three different types of muscles
a. skeletal muscle – voluntary, striated muscle.
b. cardiac muscle – involuntary, striated
(branching) muscle.
c. smooth muscle – involuntary, non-striated
muscle, e.g. Stomach, intestinal tract, urinary
bladder and blood vessels.

Skeletal Muscle ContractionSkeletal Muscle ContractionSkeletal muscles contain thousands of muscle fibers (muscle cells). Each fiber consists of finer threadlike structures called myofibrils. Myofibrils contain two kinds of protein strands: thick filament, myosin, with side projecting cross-bridge. Thinner filament, actin. Repeating bands of actin and myosin translate into light – dark repeating unit that gives skeletal muscle its striped appearance.Dark line (Z) line between each repeating unit is defined as sacromere that is the fundamental unit of muscle contraction.

Role of Calcium in Muscle Role of Calcium in Muscle Excitation and ContractionExcitation and Contraction
Nerve ending release neuro transmitter at neuro-muscular junction – membrane excitation
Sarcoplasmic reticulum release Ca 2+
Ca 2+ binds to troponin removing blocking action of tropomyosin
Actin and myosin –cross bridge movementATP is requiredRemove Ca 2+ from troponin restores blocking
action of tropomyosinCa2+ uptake (ATP required)

Muscle DisordersMuscle Disorders1. Muscular dystrophy – progressive weaken of
the muscles.
2. Paralysis – loss of ability to produce voluntary movement. This is due to disease or injury of brain or spinal cord or nerve
3. Muscle atrophy – muscle shrinkage. Decrease in muscle size.
4. Muscle hypertrophy – increase in muscle size because of over work. e.g. heart frequently hypertrophy from over work.
