THEORIES OF CONTRACTION 1) Viscoelastic(new elastic body theory) theory- 1840s to1920s- muscle acts like a stretched spring contained in a viscous medium. 2) Continuous filament theory- during contraction actin and myosin combine to form a single filament. This undergoes folding and shortening due to thermal agitation or loss of water molecules 3) Sliding filament theory
- 50. SLIDING FILAMENT THEORY • 1954by A.F.Huxley and H.E.Huxley independently • Two overlapping sets of filaments sliding past each other. • Thin filaments at each end of sarcomere move towards center between thick filaments. • Globular heads of myosin form cross- bridges with actin monomers- cross-bridge theory
- 53. • Huxley (1969)-cross-bridges attach to thin filament pull towards center detach attach further down ratchet theory or walk-along theory

- 62. Mechanical changes • Isotonic contraction-shortening of muscle but volume remains the same • Isometric contraction- no change in the length
- 63. Thermal changes 1. Resting heat-A.V.HILL- 300cal/min in 70kg man with 30kg of skeletal muscles. 2. Activation heat- energy required for Ca2 + influx, binding to troponin & pumping out of Ca2 +- 10cal/gm .Maintenance heat. 3. Shortening heat- proportional to amount of shortening 4. Maintenance heat 5. Relaxation heat 6. Recovery heat- restitution of ATPand glycogen
- 64. Electrical changes • RMP of-90mv • APmoves along sarcolemma • Velocity of APconduction- 5m/sec
- 65. MOTOR UNIT • Single nervefiber with all the muscle fibers it supplies for a motor unit • Motor units may contain 2 to few hundred muscle fibers • Smaller motor units are associated with muscles of fine movements
- 66. MOTOR UNIT asingle motorneuron and the muscle fibers it innervates. the number of muscle fibers varies with each motor unit. 3 – 6 muscle fibers/motor unit > muscles concerned with fine, graded and precise movement. 120 – 165 muscle fibers/motor unit > muscles concerned with postural and gross movement. each spinal motorneuron innervates only one kind of muscle fiber, so that all of the muscle fibers in a motor unit are of the same type.
- 68. WORKING MODEL • Muscle consistsof 3 components 1. Contractile element 2. Series elastic element- arms of cross- bridges, tendon fibers 3. Parallel elastic element- connective tissue
- 69. Non-contractile and connectivetissue in muscle itself Tendon
- 70. TYPESOF CONTRACTION 1. Isometric contraction-length remains same whereas tension increases. Eg: pushing the wall 2. Isotonic contraction- tension remains same whereas length changes. Eg: throwing a stone
- 71. Isometric Contraction Increase inmuscle tension without a change in muscle length. wall Since L=0 so, W=0 Energytension
- 72. Isotonic Contraction Contraction inwhich the tension remains constant as the muscle shortens or lengthens W=Lload L load
- 73.
- 74. Preload and Afterload • Preload:load establishes the initial muscle length. Load is carried by muscle at rest and during contraction. • Afterload: load, or a portion of it, is supporteduntil the muscle develops enough force to lift it.
- 75. Effects of preloador initial length on contraction of the muscle
- 76. Transducer S Move up ordown to change preload (initial length) F1 F3 Initial length & preload F2
- 77. 1. Passive tensionis the tension developed by simply stretching a muscle to different lengths ( think of a rubber band). 2. Passive tension is determined by preload and the elasticity of the muscle itself.
- 78. • Total tensionis the tension developed when a muscle is stimulated to contract at different preload. • It is the sum of the active tension developed by contractile elements of the sarcomeres and the passive tension caused by stretching the muscle.
- 79. • Active tensionis determined by subtracting the passive tension from the total tension (total T-passive T). • It represents the active force developed when the muscle contracts, i.e., the relation between preload and tension generated by contraction. • At the beginning, active tension developed is proportional to the increase in preload but, when the muscle is stretched to longer length, active tension is reduced. B
- 80. LENGTH-TENSION RELATIONSHIP Muscle length isheld constant at various lengths. Muscle directly stimulated at many points. Tension developed is measured using transducer. Maximum tension at rest length. When muscle is stretched, passive tension is developed due stretching of elastic elements
- 81. • Studied insingle muscle fiber using optical diffraction patterns of laser. Tension developed is maximum at 2-2.2μ when there is optimum overlap of actin and myosin No tension when muscle is stretched so that there is no overlap of actin & myosin filaments With shorter lengths, tension reduces • • •
- 82. The active tensionis maximal when there is maximal overlap of thick and thin filaments and maximal cross- bridge 2 to 2.2m in vivo

- 88. Becaus e: 1. The speedof muscle shortening depends on the speed of cross-bridge cycling. 2. The force developed depends on the number of cross-bridge formed. 3. As the afterload on the muscle increases, the velocity will be decreased because cross-bridge can cycle less rapidly against the higher resistance. 1.
