Skeletal Muscle
Functions
-
-
Produce Movement
skeletal muscle attaches to the skeleton and moves the body by moving the bones, muscle in walls of visceral organs produce movement by squeezing fluids and other substances through these hollow organs
Generate Heat
muscle contraction produces heat, plays vital role in maintaining normal body temperature
Properties
Excitability
nerve signals or other stimuli excite muscle cells and cause electrical impulses to travel along the cells’ plasma membrane, these impulses initiate contraction
Extensibility
muscle tissue can be stretched, contraction of one skeletal muscle will stretch an opposing muscle, muscular wall of a hollow organ is stretched by the substances contained within that organ
Contractility
contracts forcefully, cells contain myofilaments which are specific types of microfilaments that are responsible for the shortening of muscle cells
Elasticity
after being stretched, muscle tissue recoils passively and resumes its resting length
Connective Tissue Layers
Epimysium
outer layer of DICT surrounds whole skeletal muscle, sometimes blends with deep fascia that lies between neighboring muscles
Perimysium
within each skeletal muscle the fibers are separated into groups called fascicles, layer of fibrous connective tissue surrounding each fascicle
Endomysium
each muscle fiber surrounded by a fine sheath of loose connective tissue consisting mostly of reticular fibers

Skeletal System/Tissues
Functions
-
-
Protection
bones of skull protect brain, vertebrae surround spinal cord, rib cage helps protect organs of thorax
Mineral Storage
bones are reservoirs for minerals - most importantly calcium and phosphate, minerals are released into bloodstream as needed
-
Energy Metabolism
osteoblasts secrete a hormone called osteocalcin that assists in reducing blood sugar levels and causes fat cells to store less fat and secretes hormone that increases insulin sensitivity of cells

Components of Long Bone
Medullary Cavity
very center of diaphysis, marrow cavity filled with yellow bone marrow, no bone tissue
-
Diaphysis/Epiphyses
diaphysis is the shaft, epiphyses are the ends of bones, each epiphysis covered in hyaline cartilage, between two part of bone is the epiphyseal line in adults (epiphyseal plate while still actively producing hyaline cartilage cells
Membranes
Periosteum
covers entire outer surface of bones except ends of epiphyses, 2 layers - superficial is DRCT, deep layer abuts compact bone which is osteogenic, secured to bone by Sharpey's fibers
Endosteum
thin connective tissue membrane, lines central canals of osteons, osteogenic
Bone Marrow
Yellow
storage of fat cells is responsible for yellow coloring, makes blood cells only in emergencies
Red
red bone marrow actively generates blood cells, red color is due to erythrocytes
Bone Cell Types
Osteoblasts
bone-forming cell, produce/secret osteoid
Osteocytes
mature bone cell, keep bone matrix healthy, occupy lacunae in matrix
Osteogenic Cells
stem cells, differentiate into osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
large cell that resorbs/breaks down bone matrix, derived from WBC
Joints
Fibrous Joints
Syndesmosis
bones connected by bundles of DRCT, carpals/tarsals, little movement
Gomphosis
between tooth and its alveolus, periodontal ligament, no movement
Suture
bones connect by short interconnecting fibers, skull, no movement
Cartilaginous Joints
Symphysis
consists of hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage, pubic symphysis and intervertebral joints, slightly movable
Synchondrosis
2 bones joined by hyaline cartilage, epiphyseal plate, immovable
Synovial Joints
Components
Synovial Fluid
provides lubrication, shock absorption, nourishes articular cartilage
Bursa (e)
sac filled with synovial fluid, exists between bone and tendon/skin/ligament/muscle
Presence of Joint Cavity
surrounded by joint capsule, 2 layers: outer is DICT that is continuous with periosteum, inner is synovial membrane consisting of mostly areolar CT, secretes synovial fluid
Tendon Sheath
specialized type of bursa, wraps itself around tendons
Structural Types
Pivot
sleeve (bone/ligament) and axle (rounded bone), rotation, uniaxial movement, proximal radioulnar joints
Condylar
oval articular surfaces, flexion/extension and adduction/abduction, biaxial movement, knuckle and wrist joints
Hinge
cylinder and trough, flexion and extension, uniaxial movement, elbow and interphalangeal joints
Saddle
articular surfaces are concave and convex, adduction/abduction and flexion/extension, biaxial movement, thumbs
Plane
flat articular surfaces. gliding, nonaxial movement, intercarpal/intertarsal joints
Ball-and-Socket
spherical head (ball) and cup (socket), flexion/extension and adduction/abduction and rotation, multiaxial movement, shoulder and hip
