CHAPTER 3: THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM Three Types of Muscle * Muscle tissue is a collection of cells that shorten during contraction which create tension that results in movement * Tendons are touch bands of connective tissue that join muscle with bones Skeletal muscles * Muscles that are attached to bone (by tendons and other tissue) * Comprise 30 to 40% of human body weight * Humans have conscious control (conscious muscle) over these muscles (the brain can tell them what to do)

Describe what is happening in each phase. a) latent- is a short period between the time of stimulation and the beginning of contraction b). Contraction – at this stage the muscle reaches its peak in contraction. Relaxation -Muscle is shortened‚ returns to zero and back initial length.
Premium Muscle Skeletal muscle Myosin
Skeletal muscle is composed of two filaments called actin and myosin‚ which run parallel to each other. Actin has a protein that run along it called tropomyosin‚ that prevents actin from binding to it‚ unless calcium is bound to a part of the tropomyosin called troponin. Sets of actin and myosin filaments are divided into individual units called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are what gives skeletal muscle tissue its striations. Bundles of actin and myosin filaments are called myofibrils‚ and myofibrils are bundled

Anatomy) of the Muscle Contraction Within the muscle tissue there is a unique arrangement of myofilaments (actin and myosin) in a sequential order in the muscle fiber. Each packet of actin and myosin and their regulatory protiens (troponin and tropomysin and others) is called a sarcomere. The actin and its tropin-tropomyosin complex are thin strand referred to thin filaments. The myosin and its multiple heads are called the thick filament. Together they are referred to as Z-lines. In order for the

A&P Exam #3 Ch 9&10 1) Know the four (4) functional characteristics of all muscle tissues -Excitability or Responsiveness- The ability to receive and respond to a stimulus that is any change in the environment whether inside or outside the body. In the case of muscle ‚the stimulus is usually a chemical for example - a neurotransmitter released by a nerve cell‚ or a local change in ph. The response is generation of of an electrical impulse that passes along the sarcolemma of the

INTRODUCTION Muscle action is often described as departures from the standard position of the body‚ the anatomical position. Muscle fiber is an interaction of organelles and molecules within myosin binds to actin and exerts a pulling action. The result of this movement with myofibrils in which the filaments of actin and myosin slide past one another. This action shortens or contracts muscle fiber so that it pulls on its attachment. Muscle are stimulated by a chemical reaction called acetylcholine‚ it synthesizes
