Endomysium Nerve Separates muscle from surrounding tissues Muscle Muscle Blood fascicle fibers vessels Perimysium Surrounds muscle fascicles Skeletal Muscle (organ) Contains blood vessel and nerve Epimysium Perimysium Endomysium Nerve supply to fascicles Muscle Muscle Blood fascicle fibers vessels Endomysium Surrounds individual muscle fibers Skeletal Muscle (organ) Contains capillaries and nerve fibers Epimysium Perimysium Endomysium Nerve Contains satellite (stem) cells for repair Muscle Muscle Blood fascicle fibers vessels Muscle Attachments Endomysium, perimysium and epimysium meet together at muscle ends: ̶to form connective tissue attachment to bone matrix:  tendon (bundle) or  aponeurosis (sheet) Innervations & Blood Supply Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles, controlled by somatic nerves Muscles have extensive vascular systems that: ̶supply:  large amounts of oxygen  nutrients ̶carry away wastes Myocyte Skeletal Muscle Cells (fibers) Very long s Multinucleated (hundreds of nuclei) Develop through fusion of myoblasts (mesodermal cells) Structure of Skeletal Muscle Fibers Sacrolemma (= cell membrane) Sarcoplasm (= cytoplasm) Sarcosome (= mitochondrion) Sarcoplasmic reticulum (= SER) Transverse (T) tubule Myofibril Sarcolemma Cell membrane of muscle cell Surrounds the sarcoplasm Change in transmembrane potential begins muscle contraction Myofibril Muscle fiber Sarcolemma Nuclei Sarcoplasm Transverse (T) Tubules Deep invaginations of the sarcolemma Run transversely across myofibrils A momentary Transmit action change cell potential through in electrical potential Allow entire on the muscle fiber to surface of a nerve or muscle cell when stimulated resulting in contract simultaneously transmission of an electrical impulse Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) Surrounds each myofibril Helps transmit action potential to myofibril Forms cisternae: ̶chambers that store Ca2+ ̶release Ca2+ into sarcomeres to begin muscle contraction Triad Formed by 2 terminal cisternae + 1 T tubule Required for excitation-contraction coupling Myofibrils Lengthwise threads within muscle fiber Divided into a number of sarcomeres Made up of bundles of protein filaments (myofilaments) Myofilaments Part of the cytoskeleton Responsible for muscle contraction Composed of proteins Types (based on type of protein): ̶thin filaments ̶thick filaments Thin Filaments Sarcomere H band 4 proteins: Myofibril ̶actin Z line M line ̶nebulin ̶tropomyosin ̶troponin Troponin Active site Nebulin Tropomyosin G-actin molecules F-actin strand Thick Filaments Sarcomere H band 2 proteins: Myofibril ̶myosin Z line M line ̶titin Titin c The structure of thick filaments, showing M line Head Tail the orientation of the myosin molecules Hinge d The structure of a myosin molecule Sarcomere Contractile unit of the muscle Structural unit of myofibrils Consists of thin and thick myofilaments Contains alternating dark and light bands (striations) Lines & Zones A bands: myosin filaments (with actin on both ends) M line: center of the A band I bands: actin filaments ONLY (no myosin) Z line: center of the I bands Sarcomere extends between 2 Z lines A band contains 2 zones: ̶ H zone (band):  area around the M line  myosin filaments ONLY (no actin) ̶ Zone of overlap:  thick and thin filaments overlap  darkest area seen by light microscope Sarcomere I band A band Z line Zone of M line Z line overlap H band Each sarcomere is composed of: ̶One A band in the middle ̶½ of an I band on each side Neuromuscular Junction & Skeletal Muscle Contraction Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ) Specialized intercellular connection between: ̶synaptic terminal of a neuron & ̶motor end plate of a skeletal muscle fiber Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ) Synaptic vesicle Nerve Action Potential Electrical signal: ̶travels along nerve axon ̶ends at synaptic terminal Synaptic terminal: ̶releases neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) from synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft Synaptic cleft: ̶gap between synaptic terminal and motor end plate Acetylcholine (ACh) Neurotransmitter required for muscle contraction Stored in synaptic vesicles Travels across synaptic cleft Binds to membrane receptors on sarcolemma at the motor end plate Causes Na+ to rush into sarcoplasm Initiates muscle action potential Quickly breaks down by enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) Muscle Action Potential Electrical signal Generated by sodium influx  [Na+] in the muscle fiber Travels along the T tubules Leads to excitation–contraction coupling Excitation–Contraction Coupling Action potential reaches a triad: ̶Ca2+ release from cisternae of SR ̶triggering contraction Requires myosin heads to be Axon terminal Excitation Excitation Sarcolemma loaded by ATP T tubule Cytosol Sarcoplasmic reticulum Calcium ion release ATP Ca2+ Thick-thin Ca2+ filament interaction Muscle Contraction Caused by interactions of thick and thin filaments of sarcomeres Triggered by Ca2+ ions Follows the sliding filament theory Sliding Filament Theory During muscle contraction: ̶thin filaments slide between thick filaments toward M line ̶Z lines move closer ̶zone of overlap gets thicker ̶H zone gets narrower ̶A band does not change A Review of Muscle Contraction (1) Steps That Initiate a Muscle Contraction 1 ACh released Axon terminal Sarcolemma ACh is released at the neuromuscular junction and binds to ACh receptors on the sarcolemma. Cytosol 2 Action potential reaches T tubule T tubule An action potential is generated and spreads across the membrane surface of the muscle fiber and along the T Sarcoplasmic reticulum tubules. 3 Sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca2+ Ca2+ The sarcoplasmic reticulum releases stored calcium ions. Actin 4 Myosin Active site exposure and cross-bridge formation Calcium ions bind to troponin, exposing the active sites on the thin filaments. Cross-bridges form when myosin heads bind to those active sites. 5 Contraction cycle begins The contraction cycle begins as repeated cycles of cross-bridge binding, pivoting, and detachment occur—all powered by ATP. A Review of Muscle Contraction (2) Steps That End a Muscle Contraction Axon 6 ACh is broken down terminal Sarcolemma ACh is broken down by acetylcholinesterase (AChE), ending action potential generation Cytosol T tubule 7 Sarcoplasmic reticulum reabsorbs Ca2+ As the calcium ions are reabsorbed, their concentration in Sarcoplasmic reticulum the cytosol decreases. 8 Active sites covered, and cross-bridge formation ends Ca2+ Without calcium ions, the tropomyosin returns to its normal Actin position and the active sites are covered again. Myosin 9 Contraction ends Without cross-bridge formation, contraction ends. 10 Muscle relaxation occurs The muscle returns passively to its resting length. Remember! During contraction, skeletal muscle fibers shorten as thin filaments slide between thick filaments SR releases Ca2+ when a motor neuron stimulates the muscle fiber Free Ca2+ in the sarcoplasm triggers contraction Contraction is an active process requires ATP Relaxation and return to resting length is a passive process however, it still requires ATP Rigor Mortis Fixed muscular contraction after death Caused when: ̶ion pumps cease to function ̶calcium builds up in the sarcoplasm Definitions & Concepts Motor unit: single motor neuron and muscle fiber it innervates Motor end plate: pocket formed around motor neuron by the sarcolemma Muscle tone: normal tension and firmness of a muscle at rest Muscle twitch: fine movements of a small area of muscle Muscle Tension Action exerted on connective tissue fibers when muscle fiber shortens at contraction 2 Types: ̶isotonic contraction:  skeletal muscle changes length resulting in motion ̶isometric contraction:  skeletal muscle develops tension but is prevented from changing length Tetany (Physiological Tetanus) Sustained muscle contraction without periods of relaxation due to repetitive stimulation of muscle fibers Incomplete: ̶less frequent stimulation (one/sec) repetitive contractions and relaxation Complete: ̶high frequency stimulation contractions sum muscle never begins to relax continuous contraction = Stimulus Maximum tension (in tetanus) Tension Maximum tension (in treppe) Time Time a Treppe. Treppe is an increase in b Wave summation. Wave summation peak tension with each successive stimulus delivered shortly after the occurs when successive stimuli completion of the relaxation phase of arrive before the relaxation phase the preceding twitch. has been completed. Maximum tension (in tetanus) Tension Time Time c Incomplete tetanus. Incomplete d Complete tetanus. During tetanus occurs if the stimulus complete tetanus, the stimulus frequency increases further. Tension frequency is so high that the relaxation production rises to a peak, and the phase is eliminated. Tension plateaus periods of relaxation are very brief. at maximum levels.
