How to use this guide…
This is a very comprehensive list of everything we have covered this semester. Just start reading. If you understand it – delete it! If you don’t understand it – keep it. Then, when you are done reading the entire thing, go back and study the parts that remain. I have saved this online as a word document (so you can
delete as you go) and also as a PDF file in case you can’t open word on your computer.

Chapter 6-The Muscular System (pages 182-226) The Muscular System
o Muscles are responsible for all types of body movemento Three basic muscle types are found in the body:
_____________________ muscle _____________________ muscle _____________________ muscle
21
22
Characteristics of Muscleso Skeletal and smooth muscle cells are elongated (muscle cell = muscle fiber)o Contraction of muscles is due to the movement of microfilamentso All muscles share some terminology
Prefixes myo and mys refer to “_________________” Prefix sarco refers to “___________________”
Comparison of Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth Muscleso ___________________ Muscle Characteristics
Most are attached by tendons to bones “_____________________” – Cells have many nuclei “_____________________”—have visible banding Voluntary—subject to conscious control Connective Tissue Wrappings of Skeletal Muscle
Cells are surrounded and bundled by connective tissue:o _____________________—encloses a single muscle fibero _____________________—wraps around a fascicle (bundle) of muscle fiberso _____________________—covers the entire skeletal muscleo Fascia—on the outside of the epimysium
Skeletal Muscle Attachments Epimysium blends into a connective tissue attachment _________________________—cord-like structures
o Mostly collagen fiberso Often cross a joint due to toughness and small size
_________________________—sheet-like structureso Attach muscles indirectly to bones, cartilages, or connective tissue coverings
Sites of muscle attachmento Boneso Cartilages
o Smooth Muscle Characteristics Lacks striations Shape of cells = _______________________________ ______________________ - each cell only contains one nucleus Voluntary or Involuntary (circle one) Found mainly in _______________________________________________
o Cardiac Muscle Characteristics Striations Usually has a single nucleus Branching cells Joined to another muscle cell at an intercalated disc Voluntary or Involuntary? (circle one) Found only in _____________________________________
Skeletal Muscle Functionso o o o
Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscleo ____________________________—specialized plasma membraneo ____________________________—long organelles inside muscle cello _____________ ______________—specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Stores and releases ______ ions
23
Surrounds the myofibrilo Myofibrils are aligned to give distinct bands
___ band = light band Contains only thin filaments
___ band = dark band Contains the entire length of the thick filaments
o ____________________________—contractile unit of a muscle fiber Organization of the sarcomere
Myofilamentso Thick filaments = _____________ filaments
Composed of the protein ______________ Has ATPase enzymes Myosin filaments have heads (extensions, or cross bridges) Myosin and actin overlap somewhat
o Thin filaments = __________ filaments Composed of the protein __________ Anchored to the ___ disc
Stimulation and Contraction of Single Skeletal Muscle Cellso “____________________” (also called responsiveness or irritability)—ability to receive and respond
to a stimuluso “____________________”—ability to shorten when an adequate stimulus is receivedo “____________________”—ability of muscle cells to be stretchedo “____________________”—ability to recoil and resume resting length after stretching
The Nerve Stimulus and Action Potentialo Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by a motor neuron (nerve cell) to contracto “______________ ______________”—one motor neuron plus all the skeletal muscle cells
stimulated by that neurono Neuromuscular junction
Association site of axon terminal of the motor neuron and muscleo “_________________ _________________”
Gap between nerve and muscle Nerve and muscle do not make contact Area between nerve and muscle is filled with interstitial fluid
Transmission of Nerve Impulse to Muscleo “___________________________”—chemical released by nerve upon arrival of nerve impulseo The neurotransmitter for skeletal muscle is “_______________________” o ____________ attaches to receptors on the sarcolemmao Sarcolemma becomes permeable to ______ ionso ______________ rushes into the cell generating an “___________ potential”o Once started, muscle contraction cannot be stopped
The Sliding Filament Theory of Muscle Contractiono Activation by nerve causes ___________ heads (cross bridges) to attach to binding sites on the thin
filamento Myosin heads then bind to the next site of the ________________ and pull them toward the center of
the sarcomereo This continued action causes a sliding of the myosin along the actino The result is that the muscle is shortened (contracted)
Contraction of Skeletal Muscleo Muscle fiber contraction is “all or none”o Within a skeletal muscle, not all fibers may be stimulated during the same intervalo Different combinations of muscle fiber contractions may give differing responses
24
o Graded responses—different degrees of skeletal muscle shortening Contraction of Skeletal Muscle
o Graded responses can be produced by changing The frequency of muscle stimulation The number of muscle cells being stimulated at one time
o Types of Graded Responses: _____________________
Single, brief contraction Not a normal muscle function
_____________________ (summing of contractions) One contraction is immediately followed by another The muscle does not completely return to a resting state The effects are added
_____________________ _________________ (incomplete tetanus) Some relaxation occurs between contractions The results are summed
_____________________ __________________ (complete tetanus) No evidence of relaxation before the following contractions The result is a sustained muscle contraction
Energy for Muscle Contraction Types of Muscle Contractions:
o __________________ contractions Myofilaments are able to slide past each other during contractions The muscle shortens and movement occurs
o __________________ contractions Tension in the muscles increases The muscle is unable to shorten or produce movement
Muscle Toneo Some fibers are contracted even in a relaxed muscleo Different fibers contract at different times to provide muscle toneo The process of stimulating various fibers is under involuntary control
Muscles and Body Movementso Movement is attained due to a muscle moving an attached boneo Muscles are attached to at least two points
_____________________ = Attachment to an immoveable bone
_____________________ = Attachment to a movable bone
