  1. The Muscular System Click on the image to play a movie Chapter 19, section 3

  2. Parts of the Muscular System Click on the image to play a movie • Muscle cells working together (muscle tissue) • Connective tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone (tendons) • What system controls your muscles? • When a muscle fiber is electrically excited what happens?

  3. 3 types of muscle tissue • Smooth: • Allows hollow organs to contract (“contractility”) Involuntary (with few exceptions) • Digestive tract, blood vessels • One nucleus/cell • Slower to contract, but does not tire easily

  4. Cardiac muscle • Cardiac muscle: in the heart only • Uninucleated, striated, and branched • Have intercalated disks: locks fibers together so heart may contract quickly • Relax completely between contractions, which prevents fatigue • Involuntary.

  5. Skeletal muscle • Skeletal muscle: • Attach to the bones for movement, help protect internal organs • Under voluntary control • Multinucleated • Have “striations”

  6. Which type of muscle is slow to contract? • Which type of muscle is found only in the heart? • Which type of muscle is usually voluntary (controlled by your conscious mind)?

  7. Connecting muscles to bones • Connective tissue attaches muscles to bones • “tendons”

  8. Contraction occurs in pairs: • http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio105/muscles.htm • Flexor: muscle which bends a part of the body • Extensor: muscle which straightens a part of the body • Example: Click on the image to play a movie Click image to go to website clip.

  9. Resistance: Most effective in developing size and strength of skeletal muscles Overcome resistance (weight) of another object Aerobic: Steady, moderate intensity activity Strengthens the skeletal muscles somewhat, but most effective in developing the heart Exercise Types Click on the image to play a movie

  10. Which type of muscle has different columns of molecules lined up in it’s cells so that there are alternating colored bands or striations? • Which kind of exercise would you want to do to strengthen the heart?

  11. Leversclick on the word “levers” to go to a website clip A bar that moves around a fixed point (“fulcrum”) Three types of levers: 1st, 2nd and 3rd class

  12. First Class Levers (head) Fulcrum is between the effort and the load. Which way will the load move?

  13. Second Class Levers (on toes) This time the load is between The fulcrum and the effort. Which way will the load move?

  14. Third Class Levers (your arm) Now the effort is between the fulcrum and the load. Which way will the load move?

  15. Mechanical Advantage Mechanical advantage is how much the lever magnifies the force MA (mechanical advantage) = load/effort According to the formula what is the mechanical advantage of the lever if the load is 10 N and the force is only 5 N to move the load? Did the lever help do some work? Pushing down with only 5 N of force. Pushing down with 10 N of force.
