Three classes of muscle

• Skeletal muscle - responsible for locomotion

• Cardiac muscle - responsible for the action of the heart

• Smooth muscle - responsible for the contraction of irregular shaped organs such as the intestines.

Skeletal Muscle

• Mammal body contains over 400 skeletal muscles

– Approx. 40-50% of total body weight

Skeletal Muscle

• Functions of skeletal muscle

– Force production for locomotion and breathing

– Force production for postural support

– Heat production during cold stress

– Saleable product in livestock production

Skeletal Muscles

• Muscles generally work in pairs to produce movement

• One muscle flexes (or contracts) the other relaxes

• This process is known as antagonism

Structure of Skeletal Muscle:Connective Tissue Covering

• Epimysium– Surrounds entire muscle

• Perimysium– Surrounds bundles of muscle fibers

• Fascicles

• Endomysium– Surrounds individual muscle fibers

Structure of Skeletal Muscle:Microstructure

• Sarcolemma– Muscle cell membrane

• Myofibrils– Threadlike strands within muscle fibers– Actin (thin filament)

• Troponin• Tropomyosin

– Myosin (thick filament)

Smooth MusclesLumen ofstomach

Mucosa. The mucosa is anepithelial layer that linesthe lumen.

Submucosa. The submucosa isa matrix of connective tissuethat contains blood vesselsand nerves.

Muscularis. The muscularis consistsmainly of smooth muscle tissue.

0.2 mm

Serosa. External to the muscularis is the serosa,a thin layer of connective and epithelial tissue.
