Presentation Transcript

  1. MUSCLES-About this Chapter • Skeletal muscle • Mechanics of body movement • Smooth muscle • Cardiac muscle

  2. The Three Types of Muscle Figure 12-1a

  3. The Three Types of Muscle Figure 12-1b

  4. The Three Types of Muscle Figure 12-1c

  5. Skeletal Muscle • Human body contains over 400 skeletal muscles • 40-50% of total body weight • Functions of skeletal muscle-Genrates • Force for locomotion and breathing • Force production for postural support • Heat production during cold stress

  6. Anatomy Summary: Skeletal Muscle Figure 12-3a (2 of 2)

  7. Fascicles: bundles, CT(connective tissue) covering on each one • Muscle fibers: muscle cells

  8. Structure of Skeletal Muscle:Microstructure • Sarcolemma • Transverse (T) tubule • Longitudinal tubule (Sarcoplasmic reticulum, SR) • Myofibrils • Actin(thin filament) • Troponin • Tropomyosin • Myosin(thick filament)

  9. Within the sarcoplasm Triad • Transverse tubules • Sarcoplasmic reticulum -Storage sites for calcium • Terminal cisternae - Storage sites for calcium

  10. Microstructure of Skeletal Muscle (myofibril)

  11. Sarcomeres • Sarcomere:bundle of alternating thick and thin filaments • Sarcomeres join end to end to form myofibrils • Thousands per fiber, depending on length of muscle • Alternating thick and thin filaments create appearance of striations

  12. Myosin • Myosin head is hinged • Bends and straightens during contraction

  13. Thick filaments (myosin) • Bundle of myosin proteins shaped like double-headed golf clubs • Myosin heads have two binding sites • Actin binding site forms cross bridge • Nucleotide binding site binds ATP (Myosin ATPase) • Hydrolysis of ATP provides energy to generate power stroke

  14. Thin filaments

  15. Thin filaments (actin) • Backbone: two strands of polymerizedglobularactin – fibrous actin • Each actin has myosin binding site • Troponin • Binds Ca2+; regulates muscle contraction • Tropomyosin • Lies in groove of actin helix • Blocks myosin binding • sites in absence of Ca2+

  16. Thick filament: Myosin (head and tail) • Thin filament: Actin, Tropomyosin, Troponin (calcium binding site)

  17. III Molecular Mechanism of Muscular Contraction • The sliding filament model • Muscle shortening is due to movement of the actin filament over the myosin filament • Reduces the distance between Z-lines

  18. The Sliding Filament Model of Muscle Contraction

  19. Changes in the appearance of a Sarcomere during the Contraction of a Skeletal Muscle Fiber

  20. Cross-Bridge Formation in Muscle Contraction

  21. Energy for Muscle Contraction • ATP is required for muscle contraction • Myosin ATPase breaks down ATP as fiber contracts
