Universal Characteristics of Muscle |
|
|
Skeletal Muscle |
Skeletal muscle may be defined as voluntary striated muscle that is usually attached to one or more bones.
A skeletal muscle exhibits alternating light and dark transverse bands, or striations
extra ordinary length, skeletal muscle cells are usually called muscle fibers or myofibers. |
|
The Muscle Fiber |
the plasma membrane of a muscle fiber is called the sarcolemma.
its cytoplasm is called the sarcoplasm |
|
Sarcolemma |
plasma membrane in muscle fiber |
|
Sarcoplasma |
Cytoplasm of muscle fiber |
|
Myofibrils |
long protein cord in the cytoplasm...
each is a bundle of parallel protein microfilaments called myofilaments. |
|
Myofiber |
the muscle cells |
|
Glycogen |
carbohydrate in cytoplasm |
|
myoglobin |
red pigment, stores oxygen |
|
myoblasts |
stem cells that fuse in embryonic development to produce each fiber. |
|
Satellite Cells |
myoblasts that remain as unspecialized between the muscle fiber and endomysium |
|
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) |
forms a network around each myofibril |
|
Terminal cisternae |
dilated end-sacs which cross the muscle fiber from one side tot he other |
|
Transverse (T) tubules |
in the sarcolemma tubular infoldings which penetrate through the cell and emerge on the other side. |
|
Triad |
T tubule and the two terminal cisternae associated it. |
|
Myofilaments |
Thick filaments - made of several hundred molecules of a protein called myosin.
Thin filaments - composed of two intertwined strands of a protein called fibrous (F) acton. Also another protein called tropomyosin, and this tropomyosin has a smaller calcium-binding protein called troponin bound to it.
Elastic Filaments - are made of a huge springy protein called titin. |
|
Myosin + Acton |
Contractile proteins;
they do the work of shortening the muscle fiber. |
|
Tropomyosin + Troponin |
Regulatory protein;
they act like a switch to determine when the fiber can contract and when it cannot. |
|
Titin |
|
|
Dystrophin |
|
|
Striations |
Striated muscle has dArk "A bands" alternating with lIghter "I bands".
A stand for anistropic I stand for Isotropic. *refers to the way the bands affect polarized light. |
|
Striation Bands |
|
|
Sarcomere |
the functional contractile unit of the muscle
each muscle contains
the distance from one Z disc to the next |
|
Motor Neurons and Motor Units |
Skeletal muscles are served by nerve cells called somatic motor neurons, whose cell bodies are in the brainstem and spinal cord.
Their axons, called somatic motor fibers lead to the skeletal muscles. |
|
Motor Unit |
Since the muscle fibers behave as a single functional unit, one nerve fiber and all the muscle fibers innervated by it are called a motor unit.
Effective muscle contraction usually requires the activation of several motor units at once. |
|
Small Motor Units |
where fine control is needed
fine movements of the eye and hand |
|
Large Motor Units |
where strength is more important .
powerful movements of the gluteal or quadriceps muscles. |
|
Neuromuscular Junction |
the point where a nerve fiber meets its target cell is called a synapse.
Then the target cell is a muscle fiber, the synapse is called a neuromuscular junction (NMJ), or motor end plate
Each terminal branch of the nerve fiber within the NMJ forms a separate synapse with muscle fiber. |
|
Synaptic Knob |
At each synapse, the nerve fiber ends in a bulbous swelling. |
|
Synaptic cleft |
A narrow space that separates the knob from directly touching the muscle fiber. |
|
Schwann Cell |
A cell that envelops the entire junction and isolates it from the surrounding tissue fluid. |
|
Synaptic vesicles |
spheroidal organells in the synaptic knob which are filled with a chemical acetycholine (ACh).
|
|
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) |
both the sarcolemma and that part of the basal lamina in the cleft contain this enzyme.
It breaks Acetylcholine down after it has stimulated the muscle cell. |
|
Electrically excitable cells |
because their plasma membranes exhibit voltage changes in response to stimulation muscle fiber and neurons are regarded as these type of cells |
|
Polarized |
Charged like a little battery |
|
Depolarization |
changing the plasma membrane briefly to a positive charge |
|
Repolarization |
When the plasma membrane turns negative again from the loss of the positive potassium ions. |
|
Behavior of Skeletal Muscle Fibers |
|
|
Rigor Mortis |
the hardening of the muscles and stiffening of the body that begins 3 to 4 hours after death. |
|
Threshold |
minimum voltage necessary to generate an action potential in the muscle fiber and produce a contraction |
|
Twitch |
At threshold or higher, a stimulus thus causes a quick cycle of contraction and relaxation |
|
Latent Period |
a delay between the onset of the stimulus and the onset of the twitch |
|
Recruitment
Multiple motor unit (MMU) summation |
the process of bringing more motor units into play |
|
Treppe |
pattern of increasing tension with repetitive stimulation |
|
Isometric contraction |
contraction without a change in length |
|
Isotonic Contraction |
contraction with a change in length but no change in tension |
|
Concentric contraction |
a muscle shortens as it maintains tension |
|
Eccentric Contraction |
a muscle lengthens as it maintains tension |
|
Muscle contraction |
All muscle contraction depends on ATP and calcium; no other energy source can serve in its place. |
|
ATP |
the supply of it depends on the availability of oxygen and organic energy sources such as glucose and fatty acids. |
|
Anaerobic fermentation |
enables a cell to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen |
|
Aerobic respiration |
produces far more ATP and no lactic acid, but it requires a continual supply of oxygen. |
|
Phosphate transfers
Immediate Energy |
short, intense exercise, myoglobin in a muscle fiber supplies oxygen for a limited amount of aerobic respiration at the outset. These 2 enzymes produce ATP
Myokinase - transfers P1 from one ADP to another, converting to ATP Creatine kinase - obtains P1 from a phosphate-storage molecule, creatine phosphate (CP) |
|
Short term Energy |
pathway from glycogen to lactic acid, called the glycogen-lactic acid system, produces enough ATP for 30 to 40 seconds of maximum activity. |
|
Long term Energy |
after 40 seconds the respiratory and cardiovascular systems "catch up" and deliver oxygen to the muscles fast enough for aerobic respiration to meet most of the ATP demand |
|
Muscle fatigue |
the progressive weakness and loss of contractility that results from prolonged use of the muscles. |
|
Oxygen debt |
the difference between the resting rate of oxygen consumption and the elevated rate following an exercise. |
