Overall, as a muscle cell shortens: the l bands shorten the distance between successive Z discs shortens the H zones disappear, and the contiguous A bands move closer together but their length does not change - the fiber must be activated para nga magkaroon tayo ng contraction,  that is, stimulated by a nerve ending so that a change in - Next, it must generate an electrical current, called an **action potential,** sa ating **sarcolemma**. - The action potential is automatically propagated along the sarcolemma. - Then, intracellular calcium ion levels must rise **[briefly]**, providing the final trigger for \> Para magkaroon ng contraction, we have the phase 1 amd phase 2:   **[TROPONIN]** - bonding site ng ating calcium sa ating skeletal muscles  \> Imbes na troponin ang bonding site ng ating calcium ion(counter part ng smooth muscle, ang tawag dito is **[CALMODULIN]** https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD\_4nXf3Ii9rfJNuSa2zg4qFp77YvHUko2IEFVUbaWNqsyWKDFhMjFYk\_SlgpaYrYaScosaAcQM7gDellQt5QhTv7MK9rVuHK2aKsMGH8csW4RsG6vEcezWt79agIHnkdisndDvv9UJDUJ4FL-LU5cEoOW2zjyvj?key=uWNXddzjksrnbVJ46-ADbg  DITO NA NADEDETECT YUNG CHANGES: https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD\_4nXd3EPUGoa7B0zYjJxCeQ3YumPkViBlvt9w4aiNK12160m2ceWwYc8sl8DgP\_Qx3sugQmWo0VCWJRVKrQ0G5C3Mn6TMfuxpPdt1AL-AeD2fGhlRHXBPd33bcVPafENGwzgwJ5eRVGZ0KCKS8UtwPD9Bi1Qsb?key=uWNXddzjksrnbVJ46-ADbg \> **[-95mV]** - resting membrane (habang wala pang action) \> kapag nag open or may stimulus, meron ng pumasok na sodium ions sa ating muscle fibers, **tataas yung ating sodium concentrations (yan yung maglelead ng depolarization, pero kailangan niya muna mareach ung ating threshold)** \> kapag nareach na ung **[+30mV]**, magcclose na ang ating sodium channel, at kapag nagclose na ang sodium channel,  magoopen naman ang potassium ion(lalabas yan ng mabilisan para maabot natin ang repolarization) -**[Repolarization]** is due to Potassi Exit hanggang sa bumalik na sa ating resting membrane potential (-95mV) at kapag narating na ang resting membrane meron nang closure of potassium channels EXCITATION-CONTRACTION COUPLING  - sequence of events by which transmission of an action potential along the sarcolemma leads to the sliding of myofilaments. Setting the stage - the events at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) set thr stage for E-C coupling by providing excitation. Release Of acetylcholine binds to receptor proteins on the sarcolemma and triggers an action potential in a muscle fiber. Steps in Excitation-Contraction Coupling 1. The action potential propagates along the sarcolemma and down the T tubules 2. Calcium ions are released. Transmission of the AP along the T tubules of the triads causes the voltage-sensitive tubule proteins to change shape. This shape change opens the Ca²+(calcium ions) release channels in the terminal cisterns of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), allowing Ca²+ to flow into the cytosol. 3. Calcium binds to troponin(binding site ng calcium) and removes the blocking action of tropomyosin(blocking active site). When Ca²+ binds, troponin changes shape, exposing binding sites for myosin (active sites) on the thin filaments. 4. Contraction begins. Myosin binding to actin forms cross bridges and contraction (cross bridge cycling) begins. At this point, E-C coupling is over( kapag ubos na yung available na calcium at ATP sa area). CROSS BRIDGE CYCLE - series of events during which myosin heads pull thin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere. Step in cross bridge cycle 1. Cross Bridge Formation. Yung ATP mabebreak into ADP and Phosphate. To Energized myosin head attaches to an actin myofilament, forming a cross bridge.  2. The power (working) stroke. ADP and Phosphate are released and the myosin head pivots and bends, changing to its bent low-energy state. As a result it pulls the actin filament toward the M Line. (In the absence of ATP, myosin heads will not detach, causing rigor mortis(stiffening).)  3. Cross Bridge Detachment. After ATP attaches to myosin, the link between the myosin and actin weakens, and the myosin head detaches (the cross bridge breaks)\*pag nagdetach may next step\* 4. Cocking of the myosin head. As ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Phosphate, the myosin head returns to its prestroke high-energy or "cocked" position. Note: This cycle will continue as long as ATP is available and Ca²+ is bound to troponin. \*Cycle to contract\* TWO MAIN CATEGORIES OF CONTRACTION Isotonic contraction (concentric) - iso (same) ton (tension) - muscle length changes and moves a load. one sufficient tension has dev. to move the load, the tension remains constant thru the rest of the contractile period. - We have two sub categories: concentric - muscle shortens and does work such as picking a book and kicking a ball. eccentric  - generates force as lengthens, they are equally important for coordination and purposeful movement.  Isometric contraction - measure - there is no changes  - there is muscle tension but neither shorten nor lengthen - mga nakabitin Pathways for regenerating ATP during muscle act - Direct phosphorylation - creatine phosphate and adenosine diphosphate. gamit ang creatine kinase to break creatine and magproproduce na ng creatine and ATP.  - - - - Anaerobic Pathway - glycolysis in cytosol into pyruvic acid and then lactic acid formation - - - - Aerobic Pathway - air cellular respi, happen in mitochondria - - - Note: Thru all this pathway we produce 35 ATP Action Potential Binding of Ca Different Muscles  SUPERFICIAL MUSCLES OF THE BODY  https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD\_4nXcLO7aBkXnSo2RuvArKZtEbAKj6qsk4\_hbvuR5QI7GvFDO9arnm9SR0QTXq7vOQn-mTRH3SnbnHKXv7VQSXwu8GZHSdObhQX9Y6ixvXl32IBrY96coQw\_1sbrrizOASbKql8HOcWsE6B1bBiQUWGvIbnpx9?key=uWNXddzjksrnbVJ46-ADbg Temporalis- sa temporal bone O.

The quadriceps is a powerful knee extensor used in climbing, jumping, running, and rising from seated position. The tone of quadriceps plays important role in strengthening the knee joint. Femoral nerve innervates the group. - Rectus femoris (rectus straight; femoris femur) - Extends knee and flexes thigh at hip - Vastus lateralis (vastus large; lateralis lateral) - Extends and stabilizes knee - Vastus medialis (medialis medial) - Extends knee Muscles Crossing the Hip and Knee Joints: Movements of the Thigh and Leg - Vastus intermedius (intermedius = inter- mediate) - Extends knee - Tensor fasciae latae (tensor to make tense; fascia band; lata = wide) - Steadies the knee trunk on thigh by making iliotibial tract taut; flexes and abducts thigh; rotates thigh medially PART II: POSTERIOR MUSCLES GLUTEAL MUSCLES-ORIGIN ON PELVIS - Gluteus maximus (glutos buttock; maximus largest) - Major extensor of thigh; complex, powerful, and most effective when thigh is flexed and force is necessary, as in rising from a forward flexed position and in thrusting the thigh posteriorly in climbing stairs and running; generally inactive during standing and walking; laterally rotates and abducts thigh - Gluteus medius (medius middle) - Abducts and medially rotates thigh; steadies pelvis; its action is extremely important in walking; e.g., muscle of limb planted on ground tilts or holds pelvis in abduction so that pelvis on side of swinging limb does not sag and foot of swinging limb can clear the ground - Gluteus minimus (minimus smallest) - As for gluteus medius LATERAL ROTATORS - Piriformis (piri pear; forma = shape) - Rotates extended thigh laterally; because inserted above head of femur, can also help abduct thigh when hip is flexed; stabilizes hip joint PICTURE MUSCLES CROSSING THE HIP AND KNEE JOINTS: MOVEMENTS OF THE THIGH AND LEG - Obturator externus (obturator obturator foramen; externus outside) - As for piriformis - Obturator internus (internus inside) - As for piriformis - Gemellus (superior and inferior) (gemin twin, double; superior above; inferior below) - As for piriformis - Quadratus femoris (quad four-sided square) - Rotates thigh laterally and stabilizes hip joint PICTURE MUSCLES OF THE POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT OF THE THIGH - Hamstrings - The hamstrings are fleshy muscles of the posterior thigh (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus). They cross both the hip and knee joints and are prime movers of thigh extension and knee flexion. The group has a common origin site and is innervated by sciatic nerve (actually two nerves, the tibial and common fibular nerves wrapped in a common sheath). Ability of hamstrings to act on one of the two joints spanned depends on which joint is fixed-if knee is fixed (extended), they extend hip; if hip is extended, they flex knee. However, when hamstrings are stretched, they tend to restrict full accomplishment of antagonistic movement, e.g., if knees are fully extended, it is difficult to flex the hip fully (and touch your toes), and when the thigh is fully flexed as in kicking a football, it is almost impossible to extend the knee fully at the same time (without considerable practice). Name of this muscle group comes from old butchers\' practice of using their tendons to hang hams for smoking. \"Pulled hamstrings\" are common sports injuries in those who run very hard, e.g., football halfbacks. - Biceps femoris (biceps two heads) - Extends thigh and flexes knee; laterally rotates leg, especially when knee is flexed - Semitendinosus (semi half; tendinosus tendon) - Extends thigh and flexes knee; with semimembranosus, medially rotates leg - Semimembranosus (membranosus membrane) - Extends thigh and flexes knee; medially rotates leg Muscles of the Leg: Movements of the Ankle and Toes PART I: MUSCLES OF THE ANTERIOR COMPARTMENT - Tibialis anterior (tibial tibia; anterior = toward the front) -- prime mover of dorsiflexion; inverts foot; helps support medial longitudinal arch of foot - Extensor digitorum longus (extensor increases angle at a joint; digit = finger or toe; longus = long) - Prime mover of toe extension (acts mainly at metatarsophalangeal joints); dorsiflexes foot - Fibularis (peroneus) tertius (fibular fibula; tertius = third) - Dorsiflexes and everts foot - Extensor hallucis longus (hallux great toe) - Extends great toe; dorsiflexes foot PICTURE PICTURE PART II: MUSCLES OF THE LATERAL COMPARTMENT - These muscles have a common innervation, the superficial fibular nerve. Besides plantar flexion and foot eversion, these muscles stabilize the lateral ankle and lateral longitudinal arch of the foot. - Fibularis (peroneus) longus - Plantar flexes and everts foot; may help keep foot flat on ground - Fibularis (peroneus) brevis (brevis short) - Plaritar flexes and everts foot PART III: MUSCLES OF THE POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT - The muscles of the posterior compartment have a common innervation, the tibial nerve. They act in concert to plantar flex the ankle SUPERFICIAL MUSCLES - Triceps surae - Refers to muscle pair (gastrocnemius and soleus) that shapes the posterior calf and inserts via a common tendon into the calcaneus of the heel; this *calcaneal* or *Achilles tendon* is the largest tendon in the body. Prime movers of ankle plantar flexion - Gastrocnemius (gaster belly; kneme leg) - Plantar flexes foot when knee is extended; because it also crosses knee joint, it can flex knee when. foot is dorsiflexed - Soleus (soleus fish) - Plantar flexes foot; important locomotor and postural muscle during walking, running, and dancing - Plantaris (planta sole of foot) - Helps to flex knee and plantar flex foot DEEP MUSCLES - Popliteus (poplit back of knee) - Flexes and rotates leg medially to unlock extended knee when flexion begins; with tibia fixed, rotates thigh laterally - Flexor digitorum longus (flexor = decreases angle at a joint) - Plantar flexes and inverts foot; flexes toes; helps foot \"grip\" ground - Flexor hallucis longus - Plantar flexes and inverts foot, flexes great toe at all joints; \"push off\" muscle during walking - Tibialis posterior (posterior toward the back) - Prime mover of foot inversion; plantar flexes foot; stabilizes medial longitudinal arch of foot (as during ice skating) PICTURE PICTURE Intrinsic Muscles of the Foot: Toe Movement and Arch Support - help to flex, extend, abduct, and adduct the toes. MUSCLES ON DORSUM OF FOOT - Extensor digitorum brevis - Helps extend toes at metatarsophalangeal joints MUSCLES ON SOLE OF FOOT-FIRST LAYER (MOST SUPERFICIAL) - Flexor digitorum brevis - Helps flex toes - Abductor hallucis (hallux great toe) - Abducts great toe - Abductor digiti minimi - Abducts and flexes little toe MUSCLES ON SOLE OF FOOT-SECOND LAYER - Flexor accessorius (quadratus plantae) - Straightens out the oblique pull of flexor digitorum longus - Lumbricals - By pulling on extensor expansion, flex toes at metatarsophalangeal joints and extend toes at interphalangeal joints PICTURE Intrinsic Muscles of the Foot: Toe Movement and Arch Support MUSCLES ON SOLE OF FOOT-THIRD LAYER - Flexor hallucis brevis - Flexes great toe\'s metatarsophalangeal joint - Adductor hallucis - Helps maintain the transverse arch of foot; weak adductor of great toe - Flexor digiti minimi brevis - Flexes little toe at metatarsophalangeal joint MUSCLES ON SOLE OF FOOT-FOURTH LAYER (DEEPEST) - Plantar (3) and dorsal interossei (4) - See palmar and dorsal interossei (Table 10.13) PICTURE PICTURE PICTURE
