3 Functions of Muscular System
1. Movement
2. Posture
3. Heat production
2
- Attached to the skeleton
Skeletal Muscle
3
- Controlled by voluntary nervous system via somatic motor nerves in spinal and in some cranial nerves
Skeletal Muscle
4
Skeletal Muscle is controlled by   via   in (2) 
Skeletal Muscle is controlled by voluntary nervous system via somatic motor nerves in (2)spinal and some cranial nerves
5
• Controlled by autonomic nervous system via autonomic motor neuron in autonomic, spinal, and some cranial nerves
Smooth Muscle & Cardiac Muscle
6
Smooth & Cardiac Muscle is controlled by   via   in (3) 
Smooth & Cardiac Muscle is controlled by autonomic nervous system via autonomic motor neuron in (3)autonomic, spinal, and some cranial nerves
7
The skeletal muscle is typically   - shaped and composed of  referred to as  
The skeletal muscle is typically spindle - shaped and composed of long muscle cells referred to as muscle fibers
8
muscle fibers are bound together by a connective tissue called  
muscle fibers are bound together by a connective tissue called facia
9
Each muscle contains several   or  
Each muscle contains several muscle bundle or fasciculi
10
muscle bundle is also called  
muscle bundle is also called fasciculi
11
Richly supplied with  
Richly supplied with blood vessels
12
The blood vessels   to and   from the muscle
The blood vessels provide nutrients to and remove the waste from the muscle
13
> Muscle Fiber Contraction

  →   →  
> Muscle Fiber Contraction

Muscle → Muscle Fiber → Sarcomere
14
contractile unit of the muscle
Sarcomere
15
3 Steps of Muscle Fiber Contraction
a. Electrical energy transmitted along transverse tubules
b. Calcium ion released inactivates troponin which normally blocks interaction between myosin and actin
c. ATP released caused actin to slide along myosin filaments (contraction)
16
1st step in Muscle Fiber Contraction
a. Electrical energy transmitted along transverse tubules
17
2nd step in Muscle Fiber Contraction
a. Calcium ion released inactivates troponin which normally blocks interaction between myosin and actin
18
3rd step in Muscle Fiber Contraction
c. ATP released caused actin to slide along myosin filaments (contraction)
19
bends a part towards another
Flexor
20
Example of Flexor
Biceps brachii
21
straightens a part
Extensor
22
Example of Extensor
Triceps brachii
23
draws a part towards the median line
Adductor
24
Example of Adductor
Pectoralis major, Adductor longus
25
draws a part away from the median line
Abductor
26
Example of Abductor
Deltoid, Supraspinatus
27
raise a part
Levator
28
Example of Levator
Levator Scapulae
29
lowers a part
Depressor
30
Example of Depressor
Trapezius, Serratus anterior
31
closes an opening
Constrictor
32
Example of Constrictor
Sphincter pupillae
33
regulates the intensity of light entering the eye, check if alive
Pupillary reflex
34
works against a constrictor
Dilator
35
Example of Dilator
Dilator pupillae
36
bends back of hand forward
Pronator
37
Example of Pronator
Pronator teres, Pronator quadratus
38
bends the palm forward
Supinator
39
Example of Supinator
Supinator muscle
40
turns a part
Rotator
41
4 Muscles of the Rotator Cuff
- Subscapularis
- Teres minor
- Infraspinatus
- Supraspinatus
42
Skeletal muscle always act in  .
Skeletal muscle always act in groups.
43
physical enlargement of a muscle due to addition of more myofibrils to the muscle fibers making them swell.
Hypertrophy
44
reduction in size of a muscle due to the decrease in the number of myofibrils in the muscle fibers.
Atrophy
45
a.k.a. Staircase Phenomenon
Treppe
46
when a muscle has contracted a few times, subsequent contractions are more powerful.
Treppe
47
Treppe may be related to the release of increased quantities of  .
Treppe may be related to the release of increased quantities of Calcium ions.
48
rapid, repetitive, involuntary, skeletal muscle contractions stimulated by hypothalamic temperature-regulating center
Shivering
49
caused by sustained muscle contraction
Cramps
50
strong association of actin and myosin after death due to ATP depletion
Rigor Mortis
51
the body enters rigor state about   after death and comes out of rigor about   later
the body enters rigor state about hours after death and comes out of rigor about 24 hours later
52
Bursae - Small sacs lined with   and contain  
Bursae - Small sacs lined with sinusoid membrane and contain synovial fluid
53
Bursae is located whenever   is exerted over   like between  ,  ,  
Bursae is located whenever pressure is exerted over moving parts like between skin and bone, tendons and bone, muscle or ligaments and bones
54
Acts as cushion relieving pressure between moving parts.
