Muscle Contraction (Sliding Filament Theory)
1: Gives us posture
2: Allows us to have movement
3: Thermogenesis = Heat production
There are fourteen types of body movement including :
Flexion: Movement that decreases angle of joint
Extension: Movement that increases angle of joint
Hyperextension: Extension beyond 180º
Rotation: Movement of a bone around a longitudinal axis
Abduction: Movement of limb away from midline
Adduction: Movement of limb toward the midline
Circumduction: Proximal end of a limb is stationary and the distal end moves in a circle
Plantar Flexión: Pointing toe
Dorsiflexion: Lifting superior surface of foot towards shin
Inversion: Turn sole of foot medially
Eversion: Turn sole of foot laterally
Supination: Forearm rotates laterally so palm faces anterioly
Pronation: Forearm rotates medially so palm faces posterioly
Oppisition: Movement of thumb to touch tips of other fingers
Cardiac Muscle
Smooth Muscle
Skeletal Muscle
It is subject to conscious control and it makes up approximately 40-50% of body weight.
They form the heart’s walls and it allows blood to circulate around the heart.
This muscle controls movements inside internal organs. For example, digestive tracts, blood vessels urinary and reproductive organs.
1) The nerve impulse travels down the sacrolemma and into the T-tubules. It causes sacroplasmic rectilium to release Ca++ into the sacrolasm.
2) Ca++ binds to actin myofilaments which exposes the myosin binding site.
3) The myosin head attaches to the actin, forming actin/ myosin crossbridges.
4) The myosin head moves towards the M line of sacromere, pulling actin filaments past myosin.
5) That process is repeated many times and it is powered by ATP.
6) Z lines get closer together as actin and myosin filaments slide past each other, and sacromeres shorten. This shortens the entire myofibril.

Connective Tissue Coverings
LAYERS: Fasicles, aponeuroses, epimysium, perimysium, muscle cell/ fiber, endomysium.
Skeletal Muscle Fibers
Sacrolemma, sacroplasm (Contains- Glycogen, myogloulin, parallel myofibrils (made up of myofilaments), Z line, I bands, A bands, H zoneM line.
Sacroplasmic Reticulum is associated with transverse. T- tubules penetrate into muscle fiber.
Neuromuscular Junction
Synapse, neurotransmitters, motor end plate, synaptic vesicles, synaptic cleft.
