Presentation Transcript

  1. The Musculoskeletal SystemSupport, Protection, Movement and Locomotion

  2. Functions • Motion • Maintenance of posture • Heat production • Protection of internal organs

  3. Origin of muscle tissue • Forms from the mesoderm germ layer • Triploblasts simplest: flatworms • Segmentation  annelids, arthropods, vertebrates

  4. Types of muscle tissue • Skeletal • Attached to bones • Striated and voluntary • Cardiac • Heart wall • Highly branched • Striated and involuntary • Smooth • Walls of hollow internal structures • Nonstriated and involuntary • Striated • Voluntary movements • Longitudinal or circular in shape • Smooth • Involuntary movements Vertebrate muscles Invertebrate muscles

  5. Muscle action • Motion produced by action of muscles on bones  levers • Tendons attach muscles to bones (e.g. Achilles tendon) • 1 fixed point of attachment (origin) and 1 moving point of attachment (insertion) • Fascia sheets that cover muscles • Muscles work in antagonistic or opposing pairs

  6. Organization of skeletal muscles

  7. Overview of the Sliding Filament Theory The muscle fiber is stimulated. Ca2+ ions are released. Thin filaments move to middle of sarcomere. Muscle fiber contracts. Muscle tension increases.

  8. Muscle twitch • Cycle of contraction and relaxation generated from one stimulus • All or none response of muscle fibers • Force Summation • Increasing # and size of fibers contracting • Increasing frequency at which action potentials are sent to muscle fibers

  9. Slow and Fast Twitch Fibers • Slow Twitch • More ATP from aerobic respiration • Continuous extended contractions over time • More myoglobin • Fast Twitch • Anaerobic metabolism (creatine phosphate and lactic acid fermentation) • Short bursts of speed • Fatigue quickly

  10. Muscle and exercise

  11. Cramps • Painful sensations caused by contraction/ overshortening of muscles • Causes • Hyperflexion • Inadequate oxygenation • Changes in temperature • Dehydration • Low amount of electrolytes in blood • Treatment • Correct breathing • Increasing intake of water and electrolytes
