The Muscular System
• Comprises nearly half our weight.
• Over 650 muscles.
• Each muscle is made up of hundreds or
thousands of muscle fibers.

The Muscular System:
Muscle Fibers
• Bundles of threadlike structures called myofibrils
– Composed of:
• Myosin
• Actin
– Form overlapping pattern called sarcomere
muscle muscle fiber
sarcolemma sarcomere
functional unit of muscle movement

How do skeletal muscles get
their names?
• Location
• Size
• Direction
• Number of origins
• Location of origin and
insertion
• Action flexor
• Extensor
• Depressor

• However,
• not all muscles are named by the above methods!
