Study Notes

Musculoskeletal System (Part 2)

  • Learning outcomes include listing muscle types and their characteristics, understanding action potential mechanisms in neuromuscular junctions, and muscle contraction/relaxation processes.
  • Functions of the muscular system include producing body movements, stabilizing positions, moving substances within the body, producing heat, supporting soft tissues, guarding body entrances/exits, and providing nutrient reserves.
  • Three types of muscle tissues exist: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.
  • Skeletal muscle tissue is primarily attached to bones, striated, and voluntary.
  • Cardiac muscle tissue forms the heart wall, is striated, and involuntary.
  • Smooth muscle tissue is primarily located in internal organs, non-striated (smooth), and involuntary.
  • Skeletal muscle fibers are long, cylindrical cells with multiple nuclei and striations.
  • Skeletal muscle fibers are under voluntary control.
  • Smooth muscle fibers are spindle-shaped and under involuntary control.
  • Cardiac muscle fibers are also under involuntary control, appearing striated.
  • Skeletal muscle tissue contains skeletal muscle cells, connective tissues, blood vessels, and nerves.
  • Each skeletal muscle cell is called a skeletal muscle fiber, which is a long cylindrical cell with many nuclei and striated appearance.
  • Skeletal muscle fibers group together with connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels to form bundles, which then combine to form muscles.
  • Organization of connective tissues in skeletal muscle include epimysium surrounding the muscle, perimysium sheathing bundles of muscle fibers, and endomysium covering individual muscle fibers.
  • Tendons attach muscles to bone or muscles.
  • Skeletal muscle fibers consist of sarcolemma (cell membrane), sarcoplasm (muscle cell cytoplasm), sarcoplasmic reticulum (modified ER with high Ca2+ concentration), T-tubules and myofibrils (aid in contraction), and sarcomeres (regular arrangement of myofibrils).
  • Thin filaments of a muscle fiber include actin, tropomyosin (covers active sites on actin), and troponin (binds to G-actin).
  • Thick filaments of a muscle fiber include myosin filaments with elongated tails and globular heads, forming crossbridges during contraction.
  • Interactions between actin and myosin filaments are prevented by tropomyosin during rest.
  • Muscle fiber contraction is triggered by a series of steps, starting with excitation at the neuromuscular junction, action potential at the post-synaptic membrane, calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, thick/thin filament interaction, and muscle fiber contraction.
  • Control of skeletal muscle activity occurs at the neuromuscular junction; an action potential arrives at the synaptic terminal, releasing acetylcholine (ACh) into the synaptic cleft, where ACh binds to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron, opening Ca2+ channels and generating an action potential in the sarcolemma.
  • Acetylcholine functions as a neurotransmitter.
  • The action potential propagates along T-tubules, triggering calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum; this exposes binding sites on actin, allowing myosin heads to bind and form cross-bridges, leading to muscle shortening.
  • The process continues as long as ATP is available and Ca2+ levels are high.
  • Muscle relaxation occurs when acetylcholinesterase breaks down ACh, reducing Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, allowing tropomyosin to re-cover actin binding sites, and breaking myosin attachments, causing muscle relaxation.
  •  Different types of skeletal muscle contractions include isometric (tension rises, length remains constant), and isotonic (tension rises, length changes). Concentric contractions shorten the muscle, eccentric contractions lengthen the muscle, and isometric contractions keep a constant muscle length.
  • Types of skeletal muscle fibers include fast fibers (type II myosin), larger in diameter, packed with myofibrils, numerous glycogen reserves, have relatively few mitochondria, produce rapid, short-duration contractions but fatigue quickly.
  • Slow fibers (type I myosin) are half the diameter of fast fibers, take longer to contract, have more mitochondria and extensive capillaries, high myoglobin concentration, contract for long durations with high resistance to fatigue.
  • Muscle performance depends on the type of muscle fibers and their distribution within the muscle, with slow vs fast fibers contributing to different performance characteristics.
