Study Notes
Locomotion and Movement
- Movement is a key feature of living organisms, including animals and plants.
- Unicellular organisms like Amoeba exhibit simple movements through protoplasmic streaming.
- Other organisms display movements using cilia, flagella, and tentacles.
- Locomotion involves a change in location, like walking, running, climbing, flying, or swimming.
Types of Movement
- Amoeboid movement: Cells like macrophages and leucocytes use pseudopodia (extensions of the cytoplasm) for movement.
- Ciliary movement: Coordinated movements of cilia (hair-like structures) line internal tubular organs, aiding in removing foreign particles or transporting substances. This movement is present in the respiratory and reproductive tracts.
- Muscular movement involves the contraction and relaxation of muscles to facilitate locomotion and other body movements.
Muscles
- Classified based on location, appearance, and regulation of activity (voluntary/involuntary) into Skeletal, Visceral (smooth), and Cardiac muscles.
- Skeletal muscles are striated (striped) and voluntary, responsible for body movement and posture.
- Visceral (smooth) muscles are nonstriated (smooth) and involuntary; they are present in the walls of internal organs (e.g., digestive tract) and aid in various functions.
- Cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary (present in the heart).
Skeletal System
- The skeletal system provides a framework for the body, enabling movement.
- Composed of bones and cartilages.
- Bones are hard and contain calcium salts (provides structural support) and cartilages are flexible and contain chondroitin salts.
- Human skeleton contains 206 bones divided into axial (80 bones) and appendicular (126 bones).
- Axial Skeleton: skull, vertebral column, sternum and ribs.
- Appendicular Skeleton: limbs and their girdles.
Structure of Muscles
- Muscle fibers are enclosed by the sarcolemma (plasma membrane).
- Muscle fibers contain sarcoplasm (cytoplasm) and many nuclei.
- Sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores calcium ions.
- Myofibrils (parallel filaments) have alternating dark (A bands) and light (I bands) sections, giving a striped appearance.
- Actin (thin) and myosin (thick) filaments form the basis for contraction within sarcomeres, the functional units of muscles.
- The sarcomere is the region between two Z lines.
Mechanism of Muscle Contraction
- Sliding Filament Theory: Thin actin filaments slide over thick myosin filaments, shortening the sarcomere and leading to muscle contraction.
- Cross-bridge formation between actin and myosin, powered by ATP hydrolysis, creates the force for sliding.
- Calcium ions play a crucial role in initiating the process by binding to troponin, exposing myosin-binding sites on actin.
Joints
- Joints are where bones meet.
- Classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial.
- Bones or cartilages are joined by fibrous connective tissues (sutures) in fibrous joints.
- Cartilaginous joints are joined by cartilage (e.g., vertebrae).
- Synovial joints have a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid, allowing for considerable movement (e.g., ball-and-socket, hinge, gliding).
Disorders of Muscular and Skeletal System
- Muscular dystrophy: progressive degeneration of muscle tissue due to genetic factors.
- Arthritis: inflammation of joints resulting from various conditions (e.g., build-up of uric acid crystals).
- Osteoporosis: decreased bone mass (loss of calcium) often occurs in older individuals, especially women.
