Study Notes
Muscle Tissue Characteristics
- Smooth muscle tissue is characterized by longitudinal cuts and is involuntary.
- Skeletal muscle tissue has striations and is voluntary.
Sarcomere Structure
- Z-disks anchor the actin filaments of two sarcomeres in a skeletal muscle.
- The A-band of a sarcomere contains only myosin (thick filaments).
- The I-band of a sarcomere contains only thin filaments (actin).
- The M-line of a sarcomere contains myosin and actin filaments.
Cardiac Muscle Characteristics
- Cardiac muscle tissue is found in the heart and is involuntary.
- Cardiac muscle tissue has striations, is branched, and has intercalated discs.
Muscle Function
- The main function of muscle tissue is to contract and produce movement.
Golgi Tendon Organs and Muscle Spindles
- The main function of Golgi tendon organs is to detect changes in muscle length and tension.
- Muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs provide proprioception (sense of position and movement).
Cardiac Muscle Characteristics
- Intercalated discs provide connective forces between cardiac muscle cells.
- Actin and myosin are arranged in a hexagonal lattice in cardiac muscle.
- The conformational change of tropomyosin in cardiac muscle is triggered by calcium ions.
- T-tubules in cardiac muscle trigger calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
- Titin connects to the z-line and attaches to the myosin filament.
- The trigger for all muscle contraction is the binding of calcium ions to troponin-tropomyosin complex.
- The source of internal (intracellular) Ca++ in muscle cells is the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Neuromuscular Junction
- Botulinum toxin disrupts the neuromuscular junction.
Muscle Types
- Cardiac muscle is responsible for rhythmic contraction/relaxation due to slow leakage of Ca++.
- The sinoatrial (SA) node controls the rhythmic contraction of cardiac muscle.
- Smooth muscle is influenced by autonomic (sympathetic/parasympathetic) control and hormonal control.
- Cardiac muscle contains Purkinje fibers in the ventricles of the heart.
- Smooth muscle is specialized for slow, steady contraction.
- Smooth muscle is found in blood vessels, respiratory tract, digestive tract, uterus, bladder, and more.
- Smooth muscle uses calmodulin and myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) instead of troponin and tropomyosin.
- Smooth muscle is innervated by post-ganglionic autonomic nerves.
