How many muscles do we have?

Our over 650 muscles fall into three categories 1. skeletal, 2. cardiac &3. smooth.

Fun FactsThere are 50 muscles in your face alone.It takes 17 muscles to smile and 40 muscles to frown.Your heart muscle NEVER gets any rest neither do the muscles of your intestines!The most active muscles are those in your eyes. They move more than 100,000 times a day!

Biggest, Strongest, and Hardest WorkingThe gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the human body. The strongest muscle in your body is the masseter, located on each side of your mouth. These muscles help you bite down with 150 pounds of force!The hardest working muscle is the heart. Every day the heart pumps at least 2,500 gallons of blood.

In one day, your blood travels nearly 12,000 miles.

How can they be so strong?Each fiber is wrapped in connective tissue called endomysium.Several fibers are then wrapped in a courser membrane called a perimysium to form a fascicle.The fascicle is bound together by an even tougher cover called an epimysium.

Endomysium

The epimysium (outer layer) can blend into strong cordlike tendons orInto sheet-like aponeuroses (fascia) which attach muscle indirectly to bone, cartilages, or other connective tissue coverings.

Label this skeletal muscle using the diagram on the next slide

What do you remember?

Origin vs. InsertionThe muscles origin is attached to the immovable bone. At its other end, the insertion is attached to the movable bone. Youll need this for lab!

The endomysium can be further divided.

The myofilaments of a myofibril are arranged in a regular fashion so that their ends are all lined up. This is what gives the muscle its striated appearance. The contractile units of the cells are called sarcomeres.

SarcomereThe myofibrils have distinct, repeating microanatomical units, termed sarcomeres. The sarcomere is composed of thick and thin filaments myosin and actin, respectively.Chemical and physical interactions between the actin and myosin cause the sarcomere length to shorten (contract).The interactions between actin and myosin serve as the basis for the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction.

Sliding Filament TheoryThe sliding filament theory is the basic summary of the process of skeletal muscle contraction. Myosin moves along the filament by repeating a binding and releasing sequence that causes the thick filament to move over the thinner filament. This progresses in sequential stages. By progressing through this sequence the filaments slide and the skeletal muscles contract and release.

Naming Skeletal MusclesNamed based on structural or functional characteristics.1. Direction of fibers: Rectus (straight or parallel to an imaginary line) or oblique (at a slant)

Naming Skeletal Muscles2. Size of muscle: Maximus (largest), Minimus (smallest) and Longus (long)

Naming Skeletal Muscles3. Location of the MuscleSome are named for the bone they attach are associated with.Ex. The temporalis muscle lays over the temporal bones of the skull.

Naming Skeletal Muscles4. Number of OriginsEx. Bicep muscle has two heads, triceps have three and quadriceps have four.

Naming Skeletal Muscles5. Location of Muscles origin and insertion.Ex. Sternocleidomastoid has its origin on the sternum (sterno), and clavicle (cleido) and inserts on the mastoid process of the temporal bone.

Naming Skeletal Muscles6. Shape of the MuscleIf a muscle has a definitive shape, it is used to help identify them.Ex. Deltoid (triangular)

Naming Skeletal MusclesFlexor: Closes a joint Bending movement that decreases the angle between two parts. For ex. bending the elbow, or clenching a hand into a fistExtensor: opens a joint a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts

Adductor: A motion that pulls a structure or part towards the midline of the body, or towards the midline of a limb

7. Action of the MuscleAbductor: moves away from midline

Four functions of skeletal muscles.Maintain postureStabilize jointsGenerate heatProduce movement

Aging and MusclesAfter 30, your muscle mass dwindles some 3-8 percent each decade. Once you hit 60, these losses accelerate even more quickly.Decreased muscle mass means you'll burn far fewer calories. Muscles require a lot of calories to maintain. (Think of them as a bunch of high-strung, active family members visiting your home. They're always up, moving around. As a result, they're hungry and require a lot of food.)The strength of your muscles is related to the strength of your bones. When your muscles are weak, your bones are more likely to be weak. (This is esp. important for women who have higher risk of osteoporosis.)

Muscles are usually in (Antagonistic) pairs. When one muscle contracts, the other extends. Adrenaline allows your muscles to use 4 to 6 times more oxygen than usual thus creating a huge amount of energy.Extreme strength: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9wRTIZIByk&NR=1Two man strength performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWK5mfRGkiE&feature=related

Muscle Pairs

Disorders of the Muscular SystemMuscular Dystrophy: Occurs when a particular gene on the X chromosome: a. fails to make the protein dystrophin. b. makes low amounts of dystrophin.

the membranes around muscle cells become weak and tear easily, eventually leading to the death of muscle fibers. More common in males.

Types of MD A. When one of these proteins, dystrophin, is absent, the result is Duchenes muscular dystrophy. B. Poor or inadequate dystrophin results in Beckers muscular dystrophy.DMDAnimation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wLnR7GJakYA familys story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSEc5zvGTbc

Disorders of the Muscular System2. ALS: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. AKA Lou Gehrig's disease. The symptoms usually do not develop until after age fifty. Persons with this disease have a loss of muscle strength and coordination that eventually gets worse. Breathing or swallowing muscles may be the first muscles affected. As the disease gets worse, more muscle groups develop problems.Life expectancy of an ALS patient averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is caused by the degeneration and death of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain. These neurons convey electrical messages from the brain to the muscles to stimulate movement in the arms, legs, trunk, neck, and head. As motor neurons degenerate, the muscles are weakened and cannot move as effectively, leading to muscle wasting.

Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break. Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth. That I might have been given a bad break, but I have an awful lot to live for. Thank you.His record for most career grand slam home runs (23) still stands today (Alex Rodriguez has 22, Manny Ramirez has 21)

Disorders of the Muscular System3. Myasthenia gravis: is caused by a defect in the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles. Its a disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues ("autoimmune" disease);Causes a weakness of voluntary muscles without pain that gets worse with repeated or sustained use of the muscle (fatigued muscle weakness). In two thirds of patients with MG, the first muscles to be affected are those controlling eye movements (causing double vision) and those holding the eyelids up (causing drooping of the eyelids). There are medications to treat the disorder. It is not fatal.

4. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome include loss of memory, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, random muscle pain, headaches, unrefreshing sleep and sore throats.

5. Fibromyalgia: results in widespread pain throughout every muscle in a person's body. Approximately 2% of the entire US population is affected by fibromyalgia. Symptoms of fibromyalgia include joint tenderness, fatigue problems, and sleep disturbances. No cure.

6. Cerebral Palsy:

Cerebral palsy is condition that can involve brain and nervous system functions such as movement, learning, hearing, seeing, and thinking.There are several different types of cerebral palsy.Cerebral palsy is caused by injuries or abnormalities of the brain.

Most of these problems occur as the baby grows in the womb, but they can happen at any time during the first 2 years of life, while the baby's brain is still developing.

Botulism & BotoxBotulism is a rare but serious condition caused by toxins from bacteria called Clostridium botulinum.can be fatalA weakened botulinum toxin (BOTOX) has been used to reduce facial wrinkles by paralyzing muscles beneath the skin, and for medical conditions, such as eyelid spasms and severe underarm sweating.Difficulty swallowing or speaking Facial weakness on both sides of the face Blurred vision Drooping eyelids Trouble breathing Nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps (only in food-borne botulism) Paralysis

Poisons vs. VenomTerms are often used interchangeably, but they actually have very different meanings. It is the delivery method that distinguishes one from the other. Poison is absorbed or ingested; Ex. Toxin in skin or organs. (frogs, puffer fish, poison ivy) Venom is always injected. Ex. Stab with tails. Slash with spines. Pierce with fangs. Spike with spurs. Shoot with harpoons. Chew with teeth. (snakes, spiders, bees)

The anatomy of a sarcomere

The entire array of thick and thin filaments between the Z disks is called a sarcomere. The thick filaments produce the dark A band. The thin filaments extend in each direction from the Z disk. Where they do not overlap the thick filaments, they create the light I band. The H zone is that portion of the A band where the thick and thin filaments do not overlap. The M line runs through the exact center of the sarcomere. Molecules of the giant protein, titin, extend from the M line to the Z disk. One of its functions is to provide a scaffold for the assembly of a precise number of myosin molecules in the thick filament (294 in one case). It may also dictate the number of actin molecules in the thin filaments. Shortening of the sarcomeres in a myofibril produces the shortening of the myofibril and, in turn, of the muscle fiber of which it is a part. [This electron micrograph of a single sarcomere was kindly provided by Dr. H. E. Huxley.]

7 stages of the Sliding Filament Theory First Stage: The first stage is when the impulse gets to the unit. The impulse travels along the axon and enters the muscle through the neuromuscular junction. This causes full two to regulate and calcium channels in the axon membrane to then open. Calcium ions come from extra cellular fluid and move into the axon terminal causing synaptic vessels to fuse with pre synaptic membranes. This causes the release of acetylcholine (a substance that works as a transmitter) within the synaptic cleft. As acetylcholine is released it defuses across the gap and attaches itself to the receptors along the sarcolemma and spreads along the muscle fiber. Second Stage: The second stage is for the impulse spreads along the sarcolemma. The action potential spreads quickly along the sarcolemma once it has been generated. This action continues to move deep inside the muscle fiber down to the T tubules and the action potential triggers the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Third Stage: During the third stage calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and actin sites are activated. Calcium ions once released begin binding to Troponin. Tropomyosin blocking the binding of actin is what causes the chain of events that lead to muscle contraction. As calcium ions bind to the Troponin it changes shape which removes the blocking action of Tropomyosin (thin strands of protein that are wrapped around the actin filaments). Actin active sites are then exposed and allow myosin heads to attach to the site. Fourth Stage: The fourth stage then begins in which myosin heads attach to actin and form cross bridges, ATP is also broken down during this stage. Myosin binds at this point to the exposed binding sites and through the sliding filament mechanism the muscles contract. Fifth Stage: During the fifth stage the myosin head pulls the Actin filament and ADP and inorganic Phosphate are released. ATP binding allows the myosin to detach and ATP hydrolysis occurs during this time. This recharges the myosin head and then the series starts over again. Stage Six: Cross bridges detach while new ATP molecules are attaching to the myosin head while the myosin head is in the low-energy configuration. Cross bridge detachment occurs while new ATP attaches itself to the myosin head. New ATP attaches itself to the myosin head during this process. Stage Seven: During stage seven the ATP is broken down and used as energy for the other areas including new cross bridge formation. Then the final stage (stage 8) begins and a drop in stimulus causes the calcium concentrate and this decreases the muscle relaxation.

Resting and Action PotentialNeurons send messages electrochemically. This means that chemicals cause an electrical signal. The important ions in the nervous system are sodium and potassium (both have 1 positive charge, +), calcium (has 2 positive charges, ++) and chloride (has a negative charge, -).

Resting Membrane Potential When a neuron is not sending a signal, it is "at rest.

Action PotentialAn action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon, away from the cell body. Neuroscientists use other words, such as a "spike" or an "impulse" for the action potential. The action potential is an explosion of electrical activity that is created by some event (a stimulus).There are no big or small action potentials in one nerve cell - all action potentials are the same size. Therefore, the neuron either does not reach the threshold or a full action potential is fired - this is the "ALL OR NONE" principle.This is in reference to an individual muscle cell not the whole muscle therefore there can be a graded response in the muscle contraction.

Neuromuscular JunctionA skeletal muscle cannot contact unless stimulated by a motor nerve.This junction between a nerve fiber (axon) and muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction.http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&rlz=1T4HPND_enUS310US240&resnum=0&q=botulism&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv#q=motorneuron+junction&hl=en&emb=0

AcetylcholineWhen acetylcholine is released from an axon terminal, it moves across the synaptic cleft to bind to a receptor on the other side of the synapse (on the post-synaptic membrane). In the peripheral nervous system, acetylcholine is located at the "neuromuscular junction" where it acts to control muscular contraction.
