Muscular System
-
Sliding Filament Theory
- nerve impulse or action potential travels down sarcolemma and into t-tubules, causing sarcoplasmic reticulum to release Ca++ into sarcoplasm
- Myosin head moves toward M line of sarcomere, pulling actin filaments past myosin
- This action is repeated many times powered bt ATP
- Ca++ binds to actin myofilament, exposing the myosin binding site
- Myosin attaches to actin, forming actin?myosin crossbridges
- Z lines get closer together as actin and myosin filaments slide past each other, and sarcomeres shorten (H zone disappears), shortening the entire myofibril
Anterior Muscles
-
-
-
Hip/Thigh/Leg Muscles
-
-
-
Quadriceps group
vastus medialis, intermedius, and lateralis, and the rectus femoris
-
-
Extensor, digitorum longus
-
-
Muscle Contraction
- Ach diffuses across synaptic cleft, and binds with receptors on motor end plate of the muscle cell
- This causes receptor to change shape, and opens Na+ channels in sarcolemma
- nerve impulse reaches synaptic end bulbs and causes synaptic vesicles to fuse with neurolemma and release Ach
- Electrical current is generated and is carried along sarcolemma, cause action potential (muscle contraction)

Types of Muscle Tissue
Cardiac
cells are long, cylindrical, branched, has single central nucleus
-

-
Smooth
-
-
found mainly in hollow walls of organs, eyes (controls size of pupil)
-
Skeletal
cells are long, cylindrical, parallel, and multi-nucleated
