Lecture 7: Chapter 10 Muscle TissuePages: 283-325 Lecturer: Dr. Barjis Room: P313 /P307 Phone: (718)2605285 E-Mail: ibarjis@citytech.cuny.edu
Learning Objectives • Describe the organization of muscle and the unique characteristics of skeletal muscle cells. • Identify the structural components of the sarcomere. • Summarize the events at the neuromuscular junction. • Explain the key concepts involved in skeletal muscle contraction and tension production.
Learning Objectives • Describe how muscle fibers obtain energy for contraction. • Distinguish between aerobic and anaerobic contraction, muscle fiber types, and muscle performance. • Identify the differences between skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle.
Skeletal muscle tissue and the Muscular System Three types of muscle • Skeletal – attached to bone • Cardiac – found in the heart • Smooth – lines hollow organs
Skeletal muscle functions • Produce skeletal movement • Maintain posture and body position • Support soft tissues • Guard entrances and exits • Maintain body temperature
Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle Organization of connective tissues • Epimysium surrounds muscle • Perimysium sheathes bundles of muscle fibers • Epimysium and perimysium contain blood vessels and nerves • Endomysium covers individual muscle fibers • Tendons or aponeuroses attach muscle to bone or muscle Animation: See tutorial
Skeletal muscle fibers • Sarcolemma (cell membrane) • Sarcoplasm (muscle cell cytoplasm) • Sarcoplasmic reticulum (modified ER) • T-tubules and myofibrils aid in contraction • Sarcomeres – regular arrangement of myofibrils
Myofibrils • Thick and thin filaments • Organized regularly
Thin filaments • F-actin • Nebulin • Tropomyosin • Covers active sites on G-actin • Troponin • Binds to G-actin and holds tropomyosin in place
Thick filaments • Bundles of myosin fibers around titan core • Myosin molecules have elongate tail, globular head • Heads form cross-bridges during contraction • Interactions between G-actin and myosin prevented by tropomyosin during rest
Sliding filament theory • Explains the relationship between thick and thin filaments as contraction proceeds • Cyclic process beginning with calcium release from SR • Calcium binds to troponin • Trponin moves, moving tropomyosin and exposing actin active site • Myosin head forms cross bridge and bends toward H zone • ATP allows release of cross bridge
Changes in the appearance of a Sarcomere during the Contraction of a Skeletal Muscle Fiber
The Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Tension • Created when muscles contract • Series of steps that begin with excitation at the neuromuscular junction • Calcium release • Thick/thin filament interaction • Muscle fiber contraction • Tension
Control of skeletal muscle activity occurs at the neuromuscular junction • Action potential arrives at synaptic terminal • ACh released into synaptic cleft • ACh binds to receptors on post-synaptic neuron • Action potential in sarcolemma
Skeletal Muscle Innervation Animation: See tutorial
Excitation/contraction coupling • Action potential along T-tubule causes release of calcium from cisternae of SR • Initiates contraction cycle • Attachment • Pivot • Detachment • Return
Relaxation • Acetylcholinesterase breaks down ACh • Limits the duration of contraction Animation: See tutorial
Tension Production Tension production by muscle fibers • All or none principle • Amount of tension depends on number of cross bridges formed • Skeletal muscle contracts most forcefully over a narrow ranges of resting lengths
Twitch • Cycle of contraction, relaxation produced by a single stimulus • Treppe • Repeated stimulation after relaxation phase has been completed
Summation • Repeated stimulation before relaxation phase has been completed • Wave summation = one twitch is added to another • Incomplete tetanus = muscle never relaxes completely • Complete tetanus = relaxation phase is eleminated
Tension production by skeletal muscles • Internal tension generated inside contracting muscle fibers • External tension generated in extracellular fibers
Motor units • All the muscle fibers innervated by one neuron • Precise control of movement determined by number and size of motor unit • Muscle tone • Stabilizes bones and joints
Tension production by skeletal muscles • Internal tension generated inside contracting muscle fibers • External tension generated in extracellular fibers
Motor units • All the muscle fibers innervated by one neuron • Precise control of movement determined by number and size of motor unit • Muscle tone • Stabilizes bones and joints
Contractions • Isometric • Tension rises, length of muscle remains constant • Isotonic • Tension rises, length of muscle changes • Resistance and speed of contraction inversely related • Return to resting lengths due to elastic components, contraction of opposing muscle groups, gravity Animation: See tutorial
Isotonic and Isometric Contractions Figure 10.18
Resistance and Speed of Contraction Animation: See tutorial
Energy Use and Muscle Contraction Muscle Contraction requires large amounts of energy • Creatine phosphate releases stored energy to convert ADP to ATP • Aerobic metabolism provides most ATP needed for contraction • At peak activity, anaerobic glycolysis needed to generate ATP
Energy use and level of muscular activity • Energy production and use patterns mirror muscle activity • Fatigued muscle no longer contracts • Build up of lactic acid • Exhaustion of energy resources
