11.2 MUSCLES & MOVEMENT
IB BIOLOGY
MOVEMENT: THE HUMAN MACHINE
• Joints
• Bones
• Nerves
• Muscles
• Tendons
• Ligaments
THE ELBOW
THE ELBOW• Biceps – bends the arm (flexor)
• Triceps – straightens the arm (extensor)
• Humerus – anchors muscle (muscle origin)
• Radius/Ulna – acts as forearm levers (muscle insertion)
• Radius acts as a lever for the biceps• Ulna acts as a lever for the triceps
• Cartilage – allows easy movement (smooth surface), absorbs shock and distributes load
• Synovial fluid – provides food, oxygen, and lubrication to the cartilage
• Joint capsule – seals the joint space and provides passive stability by limiting range of movement
KNEE JOINT VS HIP JOINT
KNEE JOINT VS HIP JOINT
Similarities:
- Both are synovial joints
- Both are involved in the movement of the leg
Differences:
MUSCLE STRUCTURE
sarcomeres < myofibrils < muscle fibers = MUSCLES
muscle fibers – long multinucleate cells
Within each muscle fiber are cylindrical structures called myofibrils
Myofibrils consist of repeating units called sarcomeres, which have light and dark bands
STRIATED MUSCLE FIBER
STRIATED MUSCLE FIBER
Sarcolemma – specialized plasma membrane
Sarcoplasmic reticulum – specialized endoplasmic reticulum designed for muscle contraction (contains high Ca2+)
Myofibrils – tubular fibers divided into sections called sarcomeres, and made up of two different myofilaments (actin & myosin)
Mitochondria – large numbers in order to produce enough ATP for muscle contraction
STRIATED MUSCLE FIBER
SARCOMERES
SARCOMERES
SARCOMERES
H zone – area only occupied by the thick filaments (myosin)
I bands (light) – regions occupied by only thin filaments (actin)
A bands (dark) - are the region occupied by both filaments (overlap)
Z lines – represent the extremeties of a single sarcomere
SARCOMERES
H zone – area only occupied by the thick filaments (myosin)

SARCOMERE CONTRACTION
Four Stages of Cross Bridge Cycle
1) Cross Bridge Formation
2) Power Stroke
3) Cross Bridge Detachment
4) Reactivation of Myosin Head
