Characteristics of Muscle Tissue
• Excitability (Irritability)
• Contractility
• Extensibility
• Elasticity
3
Muscle Tissue
• Skeletal Muscle
• Cardiac Muscle
• Smooth Muscle
4
Skeletal Muscle
• Long cylindrical cells• Many nuclei per cell• Striated• Voluntary• Rapid contractions
5
Cardiac Muscle
• Branching cells
• One or two nuclei per cell
• Striated
• Involuntary
• Medium speed contractions
6
Smooth Muscle
• Fusiform cells
• One nucleus per cell
• Nonstriated
• Involuntary
• Slow, wave-like contractions

Muscle Contraction Summary
• Nerve impulse reaches myoneural junction
• Acetylcholine is released from motor neuron
• Ach binds with receptors in the muscle membrane to allow sodium to enter
• Sodium influx will generate an action potential in the sarcolemma
37
Muscle Contraction Continued
• Action potential travels down T tubule
• Sarcoplamic reticulum releases calcium
• Calcium binds with troponin to move the troponin, tropomyosin complex
• Binding sites in the actin filament are exposed
38
Muscle Contraction Continued
• Myosin head attach to binding sites and create a power stroke
• ATP detaches myosin heads and energizes them for another contraction
• When action potentials cease the muscle stop contracting

Motor UnitAll the muscle cells controlled by one
nerve cell
40
Motor Unit Ratios
• Back muscles– 1:100
• Finger muscles– 1:10
• Eye muscles– 1:1
41
ATP
42
Creatine
• Molecule capable of storing ATP energy
Creatine + ATP Creatine phosphate + ADP
43
Creatine Phosphate
• Molecule with stored ATP energy
Creatine + ATPCreatine phosphate + ADP
44
Myoglobin
• Stores oxygen in muscle cells
• Similar to hemoglobin in blood
• Has higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin
45

Oxygen
46
Muscle Fatigue
• Lack of oxygen causes ATP deficit
• Lactic acid builds up from anaerobic respiration
47
Muscle Atrophy
• Weakening and shrinking of a muscle
• May be caused– Immobilization
– Loss of neural stimulation
– Lack of exercise
48
Muscle Hypertrophy
• Enlargement of a muscle
• More capillaries• More mitochondria• Caused by
– Strenuous exercise
– Steroid hormones
49
Steroid Hormones
• Stimulate muscle growth and hypertrophy
50
Anabolic Steroids
• Decrease testosterone production– Testicular shrinkage
– Infertility
• Liver tumors• Prostate cancer• Heart disease• Stroke
51
Muscle Tonus
• Tightness of a muscle
• Some fibers always contracted
52
Tetany
• Sustained contraction of a muscle
• Result of a rapid succession of nerve impulses
53
Tetanus
54
Refractory Period
• Brief period of time in which muscle cells will not respond to a stimulus
55
Skeletal Muscle Cardiac Muscle
Refractory Periods
56
Isometric Contraction
• Produces no movement
• Used in– Standing– Sitting– Posture
57
Isotonic Contraction
• Produces movement
• Used in– Walking– Moving any part of the body
58
Myasthenia Gravis
• Receptors on muscle membrane for acetylcholine are destroyed
Normal receptor
Defective receptors
59
Muscular Dystrophy
• Degeneration of muscle tissue
• May be inherited– 30 different genetic diseases
• Body does not produce the protein dystrophin– Muscle cell membrane distorted
60
Muscular Dystrophy
61
Shin Splints
• Pain in the anterior region of the tibia
• Inflammed tibialis anterior muscle– Muscle tear– Unusual exercise
62
Muscle Strain or Pull
• Excessive stretching of a muscle
• Muscle tissue may tear
• Muscle becomes inflammed and sore
