ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLES

SMOOTH
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLES
• Skeletal muscle is made up of many long thin cells called muscle cells
or muscle fibers.
• Each muscle fiber consists of many contractile units called myofibrils .
• Each myofibril is 1-2µm in diameter and lies parallel to one another.
• Fibrils are divisible into filaments made up of contractile proteins :
myosin, actin, tropomyosin and troponin.
• Cytoplasm in the muscle fibers called sarcoplasm contains numerous
mitochondria (sarcosomes), smooth surface endoplasmic reticulum
(sarcoplasmic reticulum) and rich in glycogen.
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLES
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLES
• SARCOMERES are the smallest functional unit of skeletal muscle
and are composed of two protein filaments ; actin and myosin. Actin
is a thin filament and myosin is a thick filament, as shown on the
following diagram, and it is the interaction between these two
filaments that causes a muscle to contract and shorten.
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLES
TYPE I FIBER
Slow-twitch fiber
Slow-oxidative fibers
Highly resistant to fatigue
Red in colour
TYPE IIA FIBERS
Intermediate fibers
Fast oxidative glycolytic
Resistant to fatigue
Red in colour
TYPE IIB FIBER
Fast fibers
Fast glycolytic fibers
Easily gets fatigued
White in colour
PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS DURING MUSCULAR CONTRACTION
• Stimulation of muscle fiber by impulse
• Generation of action potential in muscle
• Spreading of action potential through sarcolemma and ‘T’ tubules
• Arrival of action potential at cisternae of ‘L’ tubules
• Release of calcium ions from cisternae to sarcoplasm
• Binding of calcium ions to troponin C and change in position of troponin C
• Exposure of active site of F actin
• Binding of myosin head with F actin and power stroke in myosin head
• Sliding of actin filaments over myosin filaments
• Muscular contraction.
PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION
Properties of Skeletal muscles
• EXCITABILITY
Response of an tissue to stimulation
• CONTRACTILITY
Internal events of the muscle which are manifested by change in length or tension
of the muscle fibers. They are of 2 types
A. ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION
B. ISOTONIC CONTRACTION
• MUSCLE TONE
Continuous and partial contraction of the muscles with certain degrees of tension
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF NMJ
• It is the junction between the terminal branch of the nerve fiber and muscle fiber.
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF NMJ
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS DURING NEUROMUSCULAR TRANSMISSION
• Action potential
• Opening of voltage gated calcium channels
• Entry of calcium ions from extracellular fluid
• Opening of vesicles and release of Ach
• Passage of Ach
• Binding of Ach with receptor and formation of Ach – Receptor complex
• Opening of ligand gated sodium channels
• Entry of sodium ions from extracellular fluid
• Development of endplate potential
• Generation of action potential
• Excitation contraction coupling
• Muscular contraction
Axon terminal
Post synaptic membrane
Synaptic cleft
Motor nerve fiber
Muscle fiber
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF NERVE
• Enclosed cable like bundle of peripheral axons.
• These are collection of nerve fibres.
• Basic structure of Neuron:
• Axon
• Dentrite
• Myelin sheath
• Nodes of Ranvier
• Internodes
• Neurilemma
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF NERVE
CLASSIFICATION OF NERVE FIBERS:
• Depending upon structure: Myelinated, Non-myelinated
• Depending upon distribution: Somatic, Visceral or Autonomic
• Depending upon origin: Cranial, Spinal
• Depending upon function: Sensory, Motor
• Depending upon secretion (Neurotransmitter): Adrenergic, Cholinergic
• Depending on diameter and conduction of impulse: Type A, Type B,
Type C
Properties of nerve fibers
PROPERTIESExcitability
Conductivity
Refractory
Period
Summation
Adaptation
Infatigability
All or None

  • 2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES After this session, the students will be able to: Recall the anatomy of muscle, nerve and neuromuscular junction. Recall the physiology of muscle, nerve and neuromuscular junction Enumerate the electrical properties of muscle and nerve
  • 3. ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLES • Classification of Muscles MUSCLES STRIATIONS STRIATED NON- STRIATED CONTROL VOLUNTARY INVOLUNTARY FUNCTIONS SKELETAL CARDIAC SMOOTH
  • 4. ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLES • Skeletal muscle is made up of many long thin cells called muscle cells or muscle fibers. • Each muscle fiber consists of many contractile units called myofibrils . • Each myofibril is 1-2µm in diameter and lies parallel to one another. • Fibrils are divisible into filaments made up of contractile proteins : myosin, actin, tropomyosin and troponin. • Cytoplasm in the muscle fibers called sarcoplasm contains numerous mitochondria (sarcosomes), smooth surface endoplasmic reticulum (sarcoplasmic reticulum) and rich in glycogen.
  • 5. ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLES
  • 6. ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLES • SARCOMERES are the smallest functional unit of skeletal muscle and are composed of two protein filaments ; actin and myosin. Actin is a thin filament and myosin is a thick filament, as shown on the following diagram, and it is the interaction between these two filaments that causes a muscle to contract and shorten.

  • 8. PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION SEQUENCE OF EVENTS DURING MUSCULAR CONTRACTION • Stimulation of muscle fiber by impulse • Generation of action potential in muscle • Spreading of action potential through sarcolemma and ‘T’ tubules • Arrival of action potential at cisternae of ‘L’ tubules • Release of calcium ions from cisternae to sarcoplasm • Binding of calcium ions to troponin C and change in position of troponin C • Exposure of active site of F actin • Binding of myosin head with F actin and power stroke in myosin head • Sliding of actin filaments over myosin filaments • Muscular contraction.
  • 9. PHYSIOLOGY OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION
  • 10. Properties of Skeletal muscles • EXCITABILITY Response of an tissue to stimulation • CONTRACTILITY Internal events of the muscle which are manifested by change in length or tension of the muscle fibers. They are of 2 types A. ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION B. ISOTONIC CONTRACTION • MUSCLE TONE Continuous and partial contraction of the muscles with certain degrees of tension
  • 11. ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF NMJ • It is the junction between the terminal branch of the nerve fiber and muscle fiber.
  • 12. ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF NMJ SEQUENCE OF EVENTS DURING NEUROMUSCULAR TRANSMISSION • Action potential • Opening of voltage gated calcium channels • Entry of calcium ions from extracellular fluid • Opening of vesicles and release of Ach • Passage of Ach • Binding of Ach with receptor and formation of Ach – Receptor complex • Opening of ligand gated sodium channels • Entry of sodium ions from extracellular fluid • Development of endplate potential • Generation of action potential • Excitation contraction coupling • Muscular contraction Axon terminal Post synaptic membrane Synaptic cleft Motor nerve fiber Muscle fiber
  • 13. ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF NERVE • Enclosed cable like bundle of peripheral axons. • These are collection of nerve fibres. • Basic structure of Neuron: • Axon • Dentrite • Myelin sheath • Nodes of Ranvier • Internodes • Neurilemma
  • 14. ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF NERVE CLASSIFICATION OF NERVE FIBERS: • Depending upon structure: Myelinated, Non-myelinated • Depending upon distribution: Somatic, Visceral or Autonomic • Depending upon origin: Cranial, Spinal • Depending upon function: Sensory, Motor • Depending upon secretion (Neurotransmitter): Adrenergic, Cholinergic • Depending on diameter and conduction of impulse: Type A, Type B, Type C
