Study Notes
Body Regions and Major Contents
- Torso: Comprises trunk, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and perineum.
- Head: Contains the skull, brain, eyes, nose, and oral cavity.
- Neck: Houses skeletal muscles, salivary glands, blood vessels, and major nerves.
- Thorax: Encloses the heart, lungs, great blood vessels, major nerves, oesophagus, trachea, and ribs.
- Abdomen: Home to the stomach, liver, intestines, spleen, and kidneys.
- Pelvis: Contains reproductive organs, urinary bladder, and rectum.
- Upper Limbs: Composed of skeletal muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and bones.
- Lower Limbs: Similar composition as upper limbs with skeletal muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and bones.
Overview of the Muscular System
- Definition: Encompasses all muscles within the human body.
-
Properties of Muscular Tissue:
- Electrical excitability
- Contractility
- Extensibility
- Elasticity
Types of Muscle
-
Skeletal Muscle:
- Contains long, threadlike cells.
- Attached to bones; voluntary control.
- Multi-nucleated and striated appearance.
-
Smooth Muscle:
- Fusiform shape, short cells (myocytes).
- Involuntary; contains 1 nucleus.
- Present in digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts.
-
Cardiac Muscle:
- Striated appearance; cells (cardiomyocytes) are shortened.
- Involuntary; connected by intercalated discs.
- Exclusive to the heart (myocardium).
Muscle Group Examples
- Thoracic Wall Muscles: Includes trachealis muscle.
- Abdominal Wall Muscles: Detrusor muscle for bladder support.
- Back Muscles: Comprises the erector spinae and transversospinales muscles.
- Pelvic Floor Muscles: Includes external and internal urethral sphincters.
- Perineum Muscles: Encompasses deep transverse perineal muscle.
Abdominal Wall Anatomy
-
Inguinal Triangle:
- Bound by rectus sheath, inferior epigastric artery, and inguinal ligament; common site for inguinal hernia.
-
Inguinal Ligament:
- Connects anterior superior iliac spine to pubic tubercle; formed by external oblique aponeurosis.
Abdominal Fascia
-
Anterior Abdominal Wall:
- Comprises 2 layers of superficial fascia: Camper's (fatty) and Scarpa's (membranous).
-
Posterior Abdominal Wall:
- Contains muscles, covered by fascia, closely associated with kidney surfaces; includes iliopsoas muscle (iliacus + psoas major).
Diaphragm
- Function: Separates thoracic and abdominal cavities; primary muscle of respiration.
-
Structure:
- Composed of a muscular peripheral part (left and right domes) and a central tendon.
-
Arches and Openings:
- Contains crura (right and left) and arcuate ligaments (median, medial, lateral).
- Features three main openings for aorta (T12), esophagus (T10), and inferior vena cava (T8).
Back Muscles
-
Support and Posture: Essential for maintaining posture, consists of superficial, intermediate, and deep muscle groups:
- Superficial Muscles: Trapezius, latissimus dorsi, levator scapulae, rhomboids.
- Intermediate Muscles: Serratus posterior superior and inferior.
- Deep Muscles: Spinotransversales, erector spinae, transversospinales, and segmental muscles.
Perineum Muscles
- Deep Perineal Muscles: Located in the deep perineal pouch, includes external urethral sphincter and deep transverse perineal muscle, present in both sexes.
- Anal Triangle Muscles: Contains external anal sphincter, a voluntary skeletal muscle. Internal anal sphincter is smooth muscle and involuntary, not included in this group.
