    Physiology of Skeletal Muscle

    Uploaded by

    Noor-E-Khadiza Shama
    This document discusses the physiology of skeletal muscle. It describes the characteristics of excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity. The functions of skeletal muscle are to produce movement, maintain posture, stabilize joints, generate heat, and move substances within the body. The document then describes the anatomy of skeletal muscle including the layers of connective tissue (epimysium, perimysium, endomysium) that make up the muscle organ, as well as the sarcomere which is the functional contractile unit consisting of actin, myosin, and regulatory proteins.

    SKELETAL MUSCLE
    CHARACTERISTICS

    1. EXCITABILITY
    2. CONTRACTILITY
    3. EXTENSIBILITY
    4. ELASTICITY
    FUNCTIONS

    1. PRODUCE MOVEMENT
    2. MAINTAIN POSTURE
    3. STABILIZE JOINTS
    4. GENERATE HEAT
    5. MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES WITHIN THE
    BODY
    SKELETAL MUSCLE ORGAN

    A WHOLE MUSCLE
     CONSISTS OF A LARGE
     NUMBER OF MUSCLE
    FIBERS (CELLS) , PLUS
     CONNECTIVE
     TISSUE WRAPPINGS,
     BLOOD VESSELS,
     AND NERVE FIBERS.

    SKELETAL MUSCLE ORGAN
    THE OUTERMOST LAYER, WHICH ENCIRCLES
    THE WHOLE MUSCLE ORGAN, IS THE
    EPIMYSIUM.IT IS COMPOSED OF IRREGULAR
    CONNTECTIVE TISSUE.
    SKELETAL MUSCLE ORGAN
    THE NEXT LAYER IS THE PERIMYSIUM. IT
    SURROUNDS GROUPS OF 10 TO 200 MUSCLE
    FIBERS, SEPARATING THEM INTO BUNDLES
    CALLED FASCICLES.
    SKELETAL MUSCLE ORGAN
    THE DEEPEST
    LAYER IS THE
    ENDOMYSIUM. IT
    SURROUNDS EACH
    MUSCLE FIBER
    SEPARATING ONE
    FROM ANOTHER. IT
    IS COMPOSED OF
    LOOSE
    CONNECTIVE
    TISSUE.
    SKELETAL MUSCLE ANATOMY
    SKELETAL MUSCLE ANATOMY

    A SARCOMERE IS THE
    FUNCTIONAL CONTRACTILE
    UNIT OF SKELETAL MUSCLE.
    IT CONSISTS OF THREE TYPES OF
    PROTEINS.
    SKELETAL MUSCLE ANATOMY

    PROTEINS FOUND IN
    SARCOMERE

    1. CONTRACTILE PROTEINS
    2. REGULATORY PROTEINS
    3. STRUCTURAL PROTEINS
    SKELETAL MUSCLE ANATOMY

    CONTRACTILE PROTEINS GENERATE


    FORCE DURING CONTRACTION. THE
    TWO CONTRACTILE PROTEINS ARE
    ACTIN AND MYOSIN.
    SKELETAL MUSCLE ANATOMY

    REGULARTORY PROTEINS HELP TO


    SWITCH THE CONTRACTION
    PROCESS
    ON AND OFF. THE TWO REGULATORY
    PROTEINS ARE TROPOMYOSIN AND
    TROPONIN.
    MYOSIN
    MYOSIN
    ACTIN, TROPOMYSOIN, TROPONIN
    SARCOMERE
    SARCOMERE
    SARCOMERE
    NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION

    CONSISTS OF:

    1. THE AXONAL TERMINAL OF A SOMATIC


    MOTOR NEURON.
    2. SYNAPTIC CLEFT
    3. THE MOTOR END PLATE.
    NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION
    NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION
    NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION
    MOTOR UNIT
     A MOTOR UNIT IS A
    SOMATIC MOTOR
    NEURON AND ALL OF THE
    MUSCULE CELLS IT
    INNERVATES.

    THE NUMBER OF
    MUSCLE FIBERS PER
    MOTOR UNIT MAY BE AS
    HIGH AS SEVERAL
    HUNDRED OR A FEW AS
    FOUR.
    MOTOR UNIT

    AS A RESULT, STIMULATION OF A
    SINGLE MOTOR UNIT CAUSES A WEAK
    CONTRACTION OF THE
    ENTIRE MUSCLE, OR A NUMBER OF MOTOR
    UNITS MAY CAUSE A STRONG CONTRACTION
    OF THE ENTIRE MUSCLE.
    ENERGY FOR CONTRACTION

    1. ATP
    2. CREATINE PHOSPHATE
    3. GLYCOLYSIS
    4. AEROBIC CELLULAR RESPIRATION
    MUSCLE FATIGUE

    TRUE MUSCLE FATIGUE IS THE


    RESULT OF BUILD UP OF ACIDIC
    COMPOUNDS, MAINLY LACTIC ACID,
    A REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF
    ATP, AND ELECTROLYTE
    IMBALANCES.
    REPLACING THE OXYGEN DEBT

    1. CONVERTING LACTIC ACID INTO


    PYRUVIC ACID.
    2. RESYNTHESIZING ATP.
    3. RESYNTHESIZING CREATINE PHOSPHATE
    4. REPLACING GLYCOGEN STORES.
    5. REOXYGENATING MYOGLOBIN.
