EVOLUTIONARY HERITAGE
• Skeleton: structural framework that functions in maintaining body shape, supporting and protecting cells, and accepting the force of contraction that can bring about movements
![Page 3: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
EVOLUTIONARY HERITAGE
• Three types:• Hydrostatic Skeleton: muscle cells apply the force of
contraction against a body fluid and thereby redistribute it within a confined space
• Exoskeleton: rigid or flexible structures at the body surface accept applied force of contraction • Insect cuticle
• Endoskeleton: internal body parts, such as bones, receive the applied force of muscle contraction
![Page 4: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
INVERTEBRATE SKELETONS
• Hydrostatic Skeletons:• Soft bodied animals • Many contractile cells oriented side by side,
longitudinally, in body wall • Others oriented like rings around body cavity• Stiff fibers form a mesh in body wall, help prevent
uncontrollable bulges when contraction makes fluid move inside gut cavity
![Page 5: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
INVERTEBRATE SKELETONS
• Exoskeletons:• Arthropods • Hinged exoskeleton with attachment sites for sets of
muscles that move hard parts like levers • Move by combination of muscles and hydraulic pressure • Hydraulic: fluid pressure within a tube
![Page 6: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
INVERTEBRATE SKELETONS
• Invertebrates and Endoskeletons:• Echinoderms: endoskeleton within dermis • Ossicles: arrays of structural elements, made of tiny
calcite crystals • Epidermis covers ossicles• Echinoderm = spiny-skinned • Move by combination of muscles and hydraulic pressure
![Page 7: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
VERTEBRATE SKELETON
• Human skeleton has 206 bones• Pectoral girdle and pelvic
girdle- transfer weight to limbs • Appendicular portion-
paired arms, hands, legs, feet• Axial portion- jaws, skull
bones, ribs, breast bone, vertebra
![Page 8: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
VERTEBRATE SKELETON
• Vertebral column: bony parts offer attachment sites for paired muscles and protective canal for spinal cord • Column transmits torso’s weight to
lower limbs • Backbone is curved into “S” shape
to keep body’s main axis in vertical alignment
• Intervertebral disks: separates bones of vertebra• Cartilaginous shock absorbers and
flex points
![Page 9: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
BONE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
• Bone Tissue: bone cells and collagen fibers in a calcium-hardened organic matrix
![Page 11: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BONE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
• 3 types of bone cells:• Osteoblasts: bone-forming cells; secrete the
components of the matrix; present on outer surface and internal cavities of bones of adults
• Osteocytes: osteoblasts that become imprisoned in small chambers after secreting matrix material around themselves; most common cone cells in bony tissue of adults
• Osteoclasts: bone cells that break down bone tissue by secreting acids and enzymes into hardened matrix
![Page 12: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
BONE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
• 2 types of bone tissue:• Compact: resists mechanical shock, laid down as dense
concentric rings around tiny canals for nerves and blood vessels • Osteocytes reside in narrow clefts between rings
• Spongy: present in femur’s shaft and knobby ends, strong but doesn’t weigh much, hardened matrix is pocketed with open spaces
![Page 13: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
BONE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
• Red marrow: major site of blood cell formation, fills the spaces in spongy bone
• Yellow marrow: central cavity of femur and most mature bones of adults, mostly fat, can be converted to blood cell-producing red marrow with severe blood loss
![Page 14: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BONE FORMATION AND REMODELING
• First skeleton in embryos is made of cartilage • Cartilage is model • Osteoblasts infiltrate, transform cartilage to
bone, narrow cavity opens
![Page 15: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
BONE FORMATION AND REMODELING
• Bone Remodeling: osteoblasts help form new bone tissue, which makes up for bone tissue that osteoclasts are breaking down• Bone is broken down to help maintain required blood
levels of calcium and phosphorous
![Page 16: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
BONE FORMATION AND REMODELING
• Until humans are 24 years old, osteoblasts secreting more matrix than osteoclasts can break down, so bone mass increases • Bones become denser and stronger, later in life
osteoblast activity declines, bones weaken• Osteoporosis: significant loss of bone density
![Page 17: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
WHERE BONES MEET- SKELETAL JOINTS
• Joints: areas of contact or near-contact between bones • Ligaments: straps of dense connective tissue at
many joints, attach bone to bone • Tendons: attach bone to muscle
![Page 18: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WHERE BONES MEET- SKELETAL JOINTS
• Arthritis: joint inflammation and degenerative disorders • Osteoarthritis: cartilage at
freely moving joints wears away
• Rheumatoid arthritis: joint membranes become inflamed, thicken, cartilage degenerates, bone deposits accumulate as a result of autoimmune response
![Page 19: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SKELETAL-MUSCULAR SYSTEM
• Muscle fiber: groups fused together into one multinucleated muscle fiber • Bundles sheathed in dense connective tissue, extends
past them
![Page 20: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SKELETAL-MUSCULAR SYSTEM
• Attachment sites of muscles:• Act as lever system, is which a rigid rod is attached to a
fixed point and moves about it • Muscles connect to bones (rigid rods) near a joint (fixed
position)• When contract, transmit force that makes bones move
![Page 21: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SKELETAL-MUSCULAR SYSTEM
• Skeletal muscles also interact with one another• Some work in pairs or groups, some work in opposition • Only skeletal muscles are the functional partner of bones • Human body has close to 700 skeletal muscles
![Page 22: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
SKELETAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION
• Long, slender muscle fibers run parallel with muscle’s long axis • Myofibrils: bundle of
contractile filaments that run from one end of fiber to the other • Bands give muscle
striated appearance
![Page 23: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SKELETAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION
• Sarcomeres: repeated one after another along length of myofibril • Each end is anchored to its neighbor at a Z band, a dense
mesh of cytoskeletal elements
![Page 24: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SKELETAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION
• Actin: thin filaments, extend from Z bands toward sarcomere center • Myosin: thick filaments, starts at center of
sarcomere, runs parallel with thin filaments but not all the way to the Z band
![Page 25: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SKELETAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION
• Muscle fibers, myofibrils, think filaments, and thick filaments have the same orientation• Run parallel with long axis
• Repetitive orientation focuses the force of contraction, so all sarcomeres in all fibers of a muscle work together to pull a bone in the same direction
![Page 26: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SLIDING FILAMENT MODEL
![Page 27: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
SLIDING FILAMENT MODEL
• Myosin heads move actin filaments toward sarcomere’s center by short, repetitive ATP driven strokes• Myosin filaments stay in place, actin filaments
slide past them • Both Z bands pulled inward wit them, shortens
sarcomere • Myosin heads latch onto binding sites along actin
filaments
![Page 28: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
SLIDING FILAMENT MODEL
• Part of myosin head is enzymatic, catalyzes phosphate-group transfer from ATP, which is the energy that drives contraction• Myosin forms cross-bridge to actin when local
concentration of calcium ions rises and a binding site for myosin’s head is exposed • Once head binds, tilts towards sarcomere’s center
and actin slides along with it • When another ATP boost breaks grip on actin,
myosin head reverts to resting position
![Page 29: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

![Page 30: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
CONTRACTION
• Action Potential: voltage difference of interstitial fluid and cytoplasm of a cell membrane can reverse in response to a stimulus
![Page 31: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
CONTRACTION
• Signals from nervous system strongly spread rapidly from stimulation site, then along T tubules (transverse tubule)
• Small tubes are extensions of plasma membrane
• Actin filaments in sarcomeres are attached to them • Sarcoplasmic reticulum: takes
up, stores, and releases calcium ions in a controlled way
![Page 32: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
CONTRACTION
• Arrival of action potentials causes calcium ions to flow out of chambers • Released ions diffuse into myofibrilis and reach
actin filaments • Actin binding sites for myosin heads are
blocked in resting muscle fibers, calcium clears them
![Page 34: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
CONTRACTION
• Figure 37.17: cross-bridge binding site blocked• Proteins, tropomyosin and troponin, positioned in
or near grooves at actin filament surface
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWPmUqRZYls
![Page 36: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
CONTRACTION
• Calcium levels low proteins joined so tightly that tropomyosin is forced out of groove • Moves slightly which blocks cross-bridge binding site
• Calcium levels high calcium ions bind with troponin to cause shape change • Troponin now has different molecular grip on
tropomyosin filament, which is free to slip back into groove
• Binding site now exposed
![Page 37: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ENERGY FOR CONTRACTION
• Muscle fiber has small amounts of ATP when starts contracting • Produce more by transferring one phosphate
group from creatine phosphate to ADP
![Page 38: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
ENERGY FOR CONTRACTION
• 6x as much creatine phosphate as ATP• Supply only fuels ~15sec of contraction • After contraction, supply of creatine phosphate
restored, ATP donates phosphate to creatine
![Page 39: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
![Page 40: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
ENERGY FOR CONTRACTION
• Prolonged moderate exercise• Aerobic respiration provides energy
• First 10-15 min: Muscle fiber converts stored glycogen to glucose (starting substrate)
• Next 30 min• Glucose and fatty acids
sustain activity
• Fatty acids become main energy source for further contraction • Lactose transposable form
of energy (anaerobic pathway)
![Page 41: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
TYPES OF CONTRACTIONS
• Motor Unit: a motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers that are functionally connected to it • When motor neuron is stimulated, all fibers in motor unit
contract
• Muscle Twitch: contractile force that is generated; contraction
![Page 42: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
TYPES OF CONTRACTIONS
• Tetanus: • Applying a new stimulus before a response ends makes
muscles twitch again• Repeatedly stimulating motor unit during short interval
makes all of twitches run together • Resulting sustained contraction• Generates 3-4 times force of single twitch
![Page 43: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
TYPES OF CONTRACTIONS
• Muscle Tension: mechanical force exerted by a muscle on an object • Load: opposing force of muscle tension • Weight or object or gravity’s pull on muscle
• Muscle tension exceeds opposing forces stimulated muscle shorten
![Page 44: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
TYPES OF CONTRACTIONS
• Isotonically contracting muscles: shorten and move load• Isometrically contracting muscles: develop
tension as attempt to lift something that is too heavy, but they cannot shorten
![Page 45: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
MUSCLE FATIGUE
• When ongoing, strong stimulation keeps a muscle in a state of tetanic contraction• Muscle fatigue: decrease in muscle’s capacity
to generate force, decline in tension • Needs rest to contract again • Glycogen depletion is one factor in muscle fatigue
![Page 46: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
MUSCLE FATIGUE
• Brief intense exercise fatigue and recover fast• Prolonged, moderate exercise fatigue slow and
recover slow • Muscle cramp: abrupt involuntary, often painful
contraction that resists release • Message and heat can relieve• To avoid: stretch, avoid overexertion, dehydration
![Page 47: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
MUSCLE DYSTROPHIES
• Muscular Dystrophies: class of genetic disorders in which muscles progressively weaken and degenerate • Duchenne muscular dystrophy children• Mutant gene on X chromosome
• Myotonic muscular dystrophy adults
![Page 48: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
MUSCLES, EXERCISING, AGING
• Cannot make more muscle fibers • Existing ones get bigger, more active, and more
resistant to fatigue • Aerobic exercise: long in duration, increase
number of mitochondria in muscles and number of blood capillaries
• Strength training: brief intense exercise, causes muscle fibers to thicken, stimulates enzymes necessary for glycolysis
![Page 49: STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT: A SUMMARY CHAPTER 37 AP Biology Spring 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/551452b35503462d4e8b51c1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
MUSCLES, EXERCISING, AGING
• Aging: number and size of muscle fibers decline • Tendons (muscle to bone) stiffen, more likely to
tear • Muscle mass does not increase much • Aerobic exercise improves blood circulation• Modest strength training can slow loss of muscle
tissue
