    Study Notes

    Muscle Tissue Types

    • Three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, smooth.
    • Skeletal muscle enables voluntary movement by pulling on bones.
    • Cardiac muscle facilitates rhythmic contraction to pump blood.
    • Smooth muscle governs involuntary contractions in organs like the digestive tract.

    Muscle Tissue Properties

    • Four shared properties: excitability, contractility, extensibility, elasticity.
    • Excitability: the ability to respond to stimuli.
    • Contractility: ability to shorten and exert tension.
    • Extensibility: capacity to continue contracting over various lengths.
    • Elasticity: ability to return to original length after stretching.

    Skeletal Muscle Functions

    • Produces skeletal movement.
    • Maintains posture and body position.
    • Supports soft tissue structures.
    • Regulates material entry and exit in the body.
    • Maintains body temperature.

    Muscle Anatomy

    • Gross anatomy studies the overarching structure of muscles and connective tissues.
    • Microscopic anatomy examines myofibrils, myofilaments, and sarcomeres.
    • Connective tissues in muscle include epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium.
    • Epimysium surrounds entire muscles, perimysium divides muscles into fascicles, and endomysium surrounds individual fibers.

    Muscle Coordination

    • Tendons connect muscle to bone, while aponeuroses connect muscle to muscle.
    • Nerves penetrate the epimysium to innervate muscles.
    • Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) allows chemical communication between nerves and muscles.

    Muscle Cell Structure

    • Sarcolemma: membrane surrounding muscle cells.
    • Sarcoplasm: cytosol of muscle cells.
    • Muscle fibers can be 30-40 cm long and are multinucleated.
    • Myofibrils, crucial for contraction, are surrounded by the sarcoplasmic reticulum and consist of actin and myosin.

    Sarcomeres and Myofilaments

    • Sarcomeres are the functional units of muscle, formed by actin (thin filaments) and myosin (thick filaments).
    • Arrangement of myofilaments in parallel to the cell's long axis creates striations in skeletal muscle.
    • Each sarcomere consists of Z lines, I bands, A bands, H bands, and M lines.

    Muscle Contraction

    • Contraction is triggered by calcium ions.
    • ATP is crucial for muscle contraction and resets myosin heads after a cycle.
    • Sliding filament theory describes how actin filaments slide toward each other during contraction.

    Motor Units and Muscle Tension

    • Motor neurons control muscle fibers; fewer fibers allow for precise control, while many fibers provide less precision.
    • Muscle tension is influenced by stimulation frequency and the number of active motor units.

    Muscle Hypertrophy and Atrophy

    • Muscle hypertrophy refers to muscle enlargement due to increased cellular components.
    • Disuse leads to muscle atrophy, characterized by size and tone reduction.

    Muscle Fiber Types

    • Three muscle fiber types: fast (white), intermediate (pink), and slow (red).
    • Fast fibers are suited for short bursts of power; slow fibers are for endurance.
    • Intermediate fibers possess characteristics of both fast and slow fibers.

    Fiber Arrangements

    • Four muscle fiber arrangements: parallel, convergent, pennate, circular.
    • Pennate fibers can be unipennate, bipennate, or multipennate, based on how they attach to tendons.

    Muscle Actions and Attachments

    • Muscle origin: stationary attachment point.
    • Muscle insertion: movable attachment point.
    • Muscle actions categorized into prime movers, antagonists, synergists, and fixators.

    Lever Systems and Classes

    • Muscle contractions act through levers (bones) that pivot at a fulcrum (joint).
    • Three lever classes: first (fulcrum in the middle), second (resistance in the middle), and third (effort in the middle).
    • Examples of lever actions include head tilting (first class) and standing on tiptoes (second class).
