Structure and Function of Skeletal Muscle
![Page 6: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sole producer of active force in the body
Stimulated by the nervous system, muscle contracts and pulls on bone to create movement
When a muscle contracts, the freest (or less constrained) segment moves

Concentric (shortening or contracting)o Muscle produces active force and
simultaneously shortens Eccentric (attempting to resist elongation)
o Muscle attempts to contract but is pulled to a longer length by a dominant external force
Isometric (remaining at a constant length)o Muscle generates active force while
remaining at a constant length

Relative points of muscle to bone attachment
Proximal attachment (origin) o Point of attachment closest to the
midline or “core” of the body in the anatomic position
Distal attachment (insertion)o Point of attachment farthest from the
midline or body “core”

Agonist o Muscle or muscle group most directly related
to performing a specific movement• e.g., quadriceps are agonists for knee
extension Antagonist
o Muscle or muscle group that can oppose the action of the agonist • e.g., during elbow flexion, biceps are
agonists and triceps are antagonists, passively elongating as the elbow is flexed

Co-contraction o Occurs when agonist and antagonist
muscles are simultaneously activated in an isometric fashion
Stabilizer o Muscle that “fixes” or holds a body
segment relatively stationary so that another muscle can more effectively perform
Synergists o Muscles that work together to perform a
particular action10
![Page 11: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Force-coupleo Synergistic action occurring when
muscles produce force in different linear directions but produce torque in the same rotary direction
Excursion o Shortening and lengthening of a muscleo Typically a muscle can only shorten or
elongate about half of its resting length
11

Muscle bellyo Muscle body, composed of numerous fasciculio Epimysium • Surrounds belly of the muscle; helps to hold
muscle shape Fasciculus
o Bundle of muscle fiberso Perimysium • Surrounds and supports individual fasciculi;
serves as a vehicle to support nerves and blood vessels
12

Muscle fibero An individual cell with multiple nuclei;
contains all the contractile elements within muscle
Endomysium o Dense collagen fibril meshwork surrounding
each muscle fiber; helps transfer contractile force to the tendon
Myofibrilo Composes muscle fiber; contains contractile
proteins, packaged within each sarcomere 13
![Page 14: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Basic contractile unit of muscle fiber Composed of actin and myosin
protein filaments Sliding filament hypothesisoActin filaments slide past the myosin filaments, resulting in contraction of an individual sarcomere
14
![Page 15: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Created when myosin filaments containing numerous “heads”attach to thinner actin filaments
Myosin head binds an actin filament, flexes, and produces a power stroke between the actin and myosin
Actin filament slides past the myosin, generating force and shortening a sarcomere
Simultaneous contraction of sarcomeres shortens entire muscle

Thickness of a muscle, an indirect measure of contractile elements available to generate force
The larger a muscle’s cross-sectional area, the greater its force potential oA person with larger muscles can usually generate larger muscular forces
17
![Page 18: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Shape is one important indicator of a muscle’s specific action
Most muscles are one of four shapes:oFusiformoTriangularoRhomboidaloPennate
18
![Page 19: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fusiform muscleso Fibers run parallel to one anothero Built to provide large ranges of motiono e.g., biceps brachii
Triangular muscleso Expansive proximal attachments
converging to a small distal attachmento Provide a stabilized base for generating
forceo e.g., gluteus medius
19
![Page 20: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rhomboidal muscleso Expansive proximal and distal
attachments o Shaped like large rhomboids or off-
set squares o Suited to stabilize a joint or provide
large forces, depending on cross-sectional area
o e.g., gluteus maximus 20
![Page 21: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Resemble shape of a feather Muscle fibers approach a central
tendon at an oblique angle Large force potential; limited
excursion Further classified as uni-pennate, bi-
pennate, or multi-pennate on the basis of number of fiber sets attached to central tendon
21
![Page 22: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Muscle forces can be described as vectors because they possess both a direction and a magnitude
Direction of a muscle’s force is referred to as line of pull (or line of force)
e.g., a muscle’s line of pull that courses anterior to the medial-lateral axis of rotation of the shoulder performs flexion; coursing posterior performs extension
22
![Page 23: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Degree to which muscle is either stretched or shortened at the time of its activation
Significantly impacts force output of muscle
Concept that muscle length strongly influences muscle force influences many clinical activitieso e.g., testing and strengthening of
muscles23
![Page 24: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Active length-tension relationshipo Force generated by such a process is
highly dependent on sarcomere length o This relationship in a single sarcomere
helps explain how the relative length of a whole muscle affects its force production
oA muscle’s active force is generally greatest at its midlength and least at both extremes
24
![Page 25: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Passive length-tension relationshipoBecause of its elasticity, a muscle
also produces force passivelyo Like a rubber band, a muscle
generates greater internal elastic force when stretched
o Elastic behavior is demonstrated by a muscle’s passive length-tension curve
25
![Page 26: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Mono-articular muscles cross one joint; multi-articular muscles cross multiple joints
A multi-articular muscle can be elongated to a much greater extent than a mono-articular muscle
The range in force output of a multi-articular muscle can be very large, much greater than a mono-articular muscle
26
![Page 27: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Velocity of a muscular contraction can significantly affect force production
During a concentric contraction, a muscle produces less force as the speed of contraction increases
At higher speeds of contraction, actin-myosin cross bridges lack sufficient time to form—pull—and re-form; therefore force is decreased
27
![Page 28: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Isometric activation creates greater force than any speed concentric contraction
During an eccentric activation, force production increases slightly as the speed of the elongation increases

Muscle held in a shortened position will shorten; muscle held in an elongated position will lengthen
Disease, immobility, or simply poor posture often results in some degree of “adaptive” shortening
Contracture is a muscle so tight that it severely restricts joint movement
29
![Page 30: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Overly tight muscle causes associated joints to assume a posture mimicking the muscle’s primary actions—e.g, a tightened hamstring causes hip extension and knee flexion
Generally, optimal stretching of a muscle requires the therapist to hold a limb in a position opposite to all its actions
30
![Page 31: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Therapists often increase patients’ muscular strength, employing overload and specificity
Overload principleoMuscle must receive sufficient level of
resistance to stimulate hypertrophy Training specificity
oMuscle adapts to the way in which it is challenged

Although ligaments and capsules can stabilize joints, only muscle can adapt to the immediate and long-term external forces that can destabilize the body
Many types of injuries such as ligamentous rupture can significantly destabilize a joint
Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants often improve stability of a joint by strengthening the surrounding muscles

![Page 33: chapter 03 week 2 lecture 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55493edab4c905144d8b509c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Force generated by muscle is the primary means of balancing stable posture and active movement
Injuries or disease can impair muscular function, causing tightness, weakness, or postural instability
Fundamental understanding of the nature of muscle can be extremely helpful in determining and advancing a particular course of treatment
