MUSCLE STRUCTURE TYPE OFCONTROL
LOCATION FUNCTION
SKELETAL long, thin, striated muscle fibers / cells with many nuclei
voluntary attached to bones
move bones
CARDIAC network of striated cells with a centrally located nucleus; are connected via intercalated discs
involuntary heart pump blood to lungs and body
SMOOTH spindle shaped cells with one centrally located nucleus, lacking striations
involuntary walls of visceral hollow organs, irises of eyes, walls of blood vessels
helps move substances through ducts or vessels (i.e. food, urine, semen, blood)
Note: This chapter focuses on skeletal muscle fine structure and skeletal muscle identification.
Skeletal Muscle (Fig. 9.1)
• A muscle is composed of skeletal muscle tissue, nervous tissue, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
• Individual muscles are held in place by fascia, dense connective tissue.
• Tendons are extensions of the fascia that connect muscle to bone by intertwining with the fibers in the periosteum of the bone.
• Aponeuroses are sheets of connective tissue that connect muscle to muscle.
• Epimysium: connective tissue that surrounds a skeletal muscle.
• Perimysium: connective tissue that extends inward from the epimysium and separates fascicles (bundles of muscle fibers also called muscle cells).
• Endomysium: Connective tissue that separates muscle cells within a fascicle.
• Each muscle cell contains many myofibrils.
Skeletal Muscle Structure and Connective Tissue Coverings
Figure 9.2
Skeletal Muscle Fibers (Fig. 9.2)
• A muscle fiber is a multinucleated muscle cell that attaches to connective tissue.
• Sarcolemma is the muscle cell membrane.• Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm containing
nuclei, mitochondria, and myofibrils.• Myofibrils are composed of protein
filaments, predominantly myosin and actin.
Protein Filaments• Myosin: Thick filament of twisted protein strands
with globular ends called cross-bridges.• Actin: Thin filament protein which can be found in
a complex with two other muscle proteins, tropomyosin and troponin.
• The close association of these proteins makes muscle contraction possible.
• Organization of these protein filaments leads to light and dark striations seen in skeletal muscle under the light microscope which denote each sarcomere.
Figure 9.6
Thin and Thick Filaments
Sarcomere StructureStriations form a repeating pattern along themuscle fiber called sarcomeres.• Z Line – separates sarcomeres.• I bands (light bands) are composed of actin
filaments attached to Z lines.• A bands (dark bands) are composed of myosin
overlapping actin attached to Z lines by titin.• A central region (H zone) consists of myosin
only with a thick line, the M line.
Figure 9.4
Intracellular Structure of Muscle• Sarcoplasmic reticulum: network of membranous
sacs surrounding myofibrils.• Transverse tubules (T-tubules) extend deep into
the sarcoplasm and contain extracellular fluid. These transverse tubules allow a multinucleated muscle fiber to be stimulated simultaneously.
• Cisternae: enlarged portions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
• These three structures form a triad where the actin and myosin overlap.
Figure 9.7- Sarcoplasm content of a muscle cell = muscle fiber
Motor neuron axons join the skeletalmuscle at the neuromuscular junction. • Neurotransmitters are chemicals stored in vesicles
of the motor neuron axon. Acetylcholine controls skeletal muscle contraction.
• Motor end plate is a specialized region of the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction.
• Synaptic cleft is a space between the neuron and the motor end plate.
• A amotor unit consists of the motor neuron and the muscle fibers it controls.
Events of Muscle Contraction
Figure 9.9 – Neuromuscular Junction
Figure 9.9
Molecular Events of Muscle Contraction• Motor neuron axon releases acetylcholine.• Acetylcholine diffuses across synaptic cleft.• This stimulates the sarcolemma. The impulse travels over
the muscle fiber surface and down the T-tubules to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).
• Calcium ions diffuse out of the SR into the sarcoplasm and bind to troponin.
• Tropomyosin moves and exposes sites on actin filaments.• Actin and myosin form linkages.• Actin filaments are pulled inward by myosin cross-bridges
(sliding filament theory).• Muscle fibers shorten as contraction occurs.
Figure 9.10 – a) resting relaxed muscle; b) excited contracted muscle.
Note the change in the actin/ troponin/ tropomyosin complex by binding of Ca 2+
Figure 9.12 – Sliding filament theory explains how actin moves along myosin filament thereby causing the shortening of the muscle.
It explains how actin moves along myosin filament thereby causing the shortening or contraction of the muscle.• See Fig. 9.11 to envision the shortening of muscle in the course of actin sliding or walking alongside the myosin thick filament as it makes a bond with a myosin head, then breaks it, then remakes it with the next myosin head.• Imagine how tension and muscle strength increase as the muscle shortens.
Sliding Filament Theory
Events of Muscle Relaxation
• Acetylcholine is degraded by the enzyme acetylcholine-esterase and the muscle is no longer stimulated.
• Calcium ions are actively transported back into the SR.
• Actin-myosin linkages break.• Troponin and tropomyosin cross-bridges
reform.• Troponin and tropomyosin interaction inhibits
the interaction between myosin and actin.
Energy Sources• ATP, generated by cellular respiration, is enough
for a brief contraction.• In the mitochondria, excess energy is stored as
creatine phosphate. Creatine Phosphate has a high energy phosphate
bond that can regenerate ATP from ADP (ADP + P ATP). Creatinine is excreted in the urine.
It is generated by phosphokinase when there is excess ATP.
• Muscles store excess glucose, needed for cellular respiration, in the form of glycogen in muscle tissue and liver .
Figure 9.12
Oxygen and Cellular Respiration• Initially, oxygen is transported bound to blood
hemoglobin inside RBC in the lung. • In muscle tissue, it is transferred to myoglobin,
an oxygen binding protein found in muscle.• Glycolysis: early phase of metabolism that
partially breaks down glucose and does not require oxygen (anaerobic phase).
• Citric acid cycle: complete breakdown of glucose which requires oxygen (aerobic phase).
Oxygen Debt
• During strenuous exercise there may not be enough oxygen to maintain aerobic metabolism.
• Anaerobic metabolism maintains ATP levels while lactic acid=lactate levels increase.
• This causes muscle cramps.• Fig. 9.14 - Liver cells convert lactic acid to
glucose using ATP energy.• Definition oxygen debt: It is the amount of
oxygen needed for the liver to convert the accumulated lactic acid into glucose.
Muscle Fatigue• Fatigue occurs when a muscle is exercised for a prolonged
period and loses its ability to contract.• It is often due to lactic acid accumulation that lowers pH
and prevents muscle fibers from responding.• It can also be caused by decreased blood flow, ion
imbalances, and psychological causes.• Cramps can occur with fatigue: decreased electrolyte
concentrations trigger uncontrolled stimulation.• Physically fit people make less lactic acid due to better
circulation and increased oxygen carrying capacity.• Some muscle fibers are more likely to become fatigued.
Heat Production
• Heat is a by-product of cellular respiration.• Muscles are a major source of heat.• Blood transports heat throughout the body.
* Remember that one response of the body to a low body temperature is shivering or muscle contraction which results in raising body temperature (Chapter 1).
Types of Muscular ResponsesTo get a muscle twitch, a threshold stimulus (=minimal stimulus required to cause contraction) is required. A twitch isthe millisecond response of a muscle to a one stimulus. Phasesof a single muscle twitch:• Latent period is the time between stimulus and response.• Period of contraction is when the muscle pulls at its
attachments.• Period of relaxation is when the muscle stretches to its
former length.• Refractory period is a brief period when the muscle remains
unresponsive.• All-or-none response: a muscle that does not reach threshold
will not contract. Once threshold stimulus is reached, the muscle contracts completely.
Types of Muscular Responses
Figure 9.17 – a) series of twitches; b) summation; c) tetanic contraction
Types of Muscular Responses• A series of single twitches is the result of multiple stimuli,
that are far apart allowing the muscle to relax in-between each stimulus.
• Summation: each successive contraction increases to maximum. The staircase effect is due to a net increase in available calcium ions.
Summation is the process of combining twitches into a sustained contraction.
• A tetanic contraction is a forceful sustained contraction. • A tetanus is a prolonged contraction of a muscle resulting
from a series of motor impulses following one another too rapidly to permit intervening relaxation of the muscle.
Sustained Contraction Through Activation of Many Motor Units
• Definition motor unit: It is a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it controls.
• Definition sustained contraction: Multiple motor unit summation or recruitment is an increase in the number of activated motor units leading to sustained contraction.
• Muscle tone is a low level of sustained contractions in a muscle that appears at rest.
Further Differentiation of Muscle Contractions
• Isotonic: involve a change in length during contraction.
Concentric: occur when the muscle shortens. Eccentric: occur when the muscle lengthens.
• Isometric: do not involve a change in length.
Figure 9.17
Figure 9.17
Fast and Slow Muscle Fibers
• Slow-twitch (type I) fibers are oxidative and resistant to fatigue. They are called red fibers because they contain myoglobin.
• Fast-twitch (type II a) are glycolytic and easily fatigue. They are called white fibers.
Fast-twitch (type II b) are intermediate fibers, oxidative and fatigue-resistant.
Cardiac Muscle (Heart)• Cells have a single nucleus, sarcoplasmic reticulum, T
tubules, and mitochondria. However, they are connected with each other by intercalated disks.
• This connection allows cardiac muscle to act in unison, as a functional syncytium.
Note: A syncytium is a multinucleated cell. While cardiac muscle cells are not multinucleated, functionally they appear as if they are multinucleated.
• Intercalated disks are gap junctions.• Cardiac muscle is involuntary in action and self-
exciting with the help of a natural pacemaker called the sinoatrial node. It has rhythmicity.
Smooth Muscle (Glands, Vessels, and Organs)
• They lack striation and T- tubules.• Multiunit smooth muscle fibers function
as separate units.• Single-unit smooth muscle (visceral
smooth muscle) consists of sheets of cells joined by gap junctions. The fibers respond as a unit. The muscle displays rhythmicity.
Smooth Muscle Contraction• In part, triggered by nerve impulses and release of calcium.• Uses ATP and actin-myosin reactions.• Smooth muscle lacks troponin and uses calmodulin to
bind calcium ions.• Calcium diffuses in from extracellular fluid.• Norepinephrine or acetylcholine can function as a
neurotransmitters.• Contraction can be affected by hormones.• Stretching can trigger contractions.• Smooth muscle is slower to contract and relax, but can
forcefully contract longer with the same amount of energy expended.
• Muscle fibers can change length without changing tautness.
• Supplies of myoglobin, ATP, and creatine phosphate begin to decline by age 40. Ultimately, this will lead to atrophy of muscle tissue.
• Muscles shrink and become less elastic.• Muscles become smaller and capable of less
forceful contraction.• By age 80 half of the muscle of young
adulthood has atrophied.• Exercise can combat and delay these events.

Life-Span Changes
• 40’s: First signs of aging in the muscular system• 80’s: Decline in motor neuron activity leads to
muscle atrophy, diminished muscular strength, and slower reflexes
• Exercise: Can help maintain a healthy muscular system (strength training and aerobics)
