1) Excitability – respond to stimulation by either 1) Excitability – respond to stimulation by either the nervous system or to circulating hormonesthe nervous system or to circulating hormones
2) Contractility – ability to shorten actively and 2) Contractility – ability to shorten actively and exert a pull or tension harnessed by CTexert a pull or tension harnessed by CT
3) Extensibility – ability to contract over a range 3) Extensibility – ability to contract over a range of resting lengthsof resting lengths
4) Elasticity – ability of a muscle to rebound 4) Elasticity – ability of a muscle to rebound toward its original length after a contractiontoward its original length after a contraction
Skeletal Muscle FunctionsSkeletal Muscle Functions
Contractile organs directly or indirectly attached Contractile organs directly or indirectly attached to bonesto bones
Functions include:Functions include:1) Produce skeletal movement: muscle 1) Produce skeletal movement: muscle contractions pull on tendons and move the contractions pull on tendons and move the bonesbones- effects range from simple motions to highly - effects range from simple motions to highly coordinated movements of swimming, skiing, or typingcoordinated movements of swimming, skiing, or typing
2) Maintain posture and body positions: 2) Maintain posture and body positions: contraction of secific muscles contraction of secific muscles – – involves the contraction of muscles that stabilize involves the contraction of muscles that stabilize joints, without constant muscular contraction, we could joints, without constant muscular contraction, we could not sit upright without collapsing or stand without not sit upright without collapsing or stand without toppling overtoppling over
Skeletal Muscle FunctionsSkeletal Muscle Functions3) Support soft tissues: the abdominal wall and 3) Support soft tissues: the abdominal wall and the floor of the pelvic cavity consist of layers of the floor of the pelvic cavity consist of layers of skeletal muscle skeletal muscle - support the weight of visceral organs and protect - support the weight of visceral organs and protect internal tissuesinternal tissues
4) Regulate entering and exiting of material: 4) Regulate entering and exiting of material: openings or orifices, of the digestive and urinary openings or orifices, of the digestive and urinary tracts are encircled by skeletal muscles tracts are encircled by skeletal muscles
- - provide voluntary control over swallowing, defecation, provide voluntary control over swallowing, defecation, and urinationand urination
5) Maintain body temperature: muscle 5) Maintain body temperature: muscle contractions require energy some is converted to contractions require energy some is converted to heatheat- heat lost by contracting muscles maintains our body - heat lost by contracting muscles maintains our body temptemp

Neuromuscular synapse or myoneural junction Neuromuscular synapse or myoneural junction – – site of chemical communication between a synaptic site of chemical communication between a synaptic terminal of the neuron and a skeletal muscle fiberterminal of the neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber
Skeletal Muscle InnervationSkeletal Muscle Innervation
Each muscle fiber is stimulated by a nerve fiber usually Each muscle fiber is stimulated by a nerve fiber usually located midway along its length located midway along its length - the synaptic terminal of the neuron is bound to the motor - the synaptic terminal of the neuron is bound to the motor end plate (specialized area of the muscle cell membrane) end plate (specialized area of the muscle cell membrane) - entensive vascular supply delivers oxygen and nutrients - entensive vascular supply delivers oxygen and nutrients
