MUSCLE TISSUE
3
Introduction
 One of 4 primary tissue types
 40 – 50% of body weight
 Skeletal muscles receive innervation from the somatic peripheral nerve
 Muscle consists primarily of cells/ myocytes/ muscle fibers
 They affect voluntary control of the axial and appendicular skeleton.
 A skeletal muscle consists of a bundle of long fibers
 Adults have a fixed number of muscle cells;

Skeletal muscle function
1. Produce movement
2. Maintain posture
3. Stabilize joint
4. Thermogenesis
5. Store Nutrient reserves
6. Guard body openings (entrance/exit)
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
5
Skeletal muscle composition and structural
organization
 Muscle tissue (muscle cells or fibers)
 Muscles contain highly differentiated cells called myocytes.
 Formed from fusion of multiple small mesenchymal cells called myoblasts
 Connective tissues
 Nerves
 Blood vessels
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
6
 Are cylindrical in shape
 Are very long
 Multinucleated – in hundreds
 contain unique form of endoplasmic reticulum ( sacroplasmic reticulum)
 composed of contractile protein filaments
 Actin and Myosin are organized into cylindrical organelles called myofibrils.
 Aggregates of myofibrils cluster into bundles called fascicles.
 Aggregates of fascicles + extracellular matrix form a muscle.
Muscle fiber
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
7
 The smallest (Basic) functional unit of muscle contraction is the sarcomere.
 Adjacent myofibrils are connected by a set of specialized proteins called intermediate
filaments (for mechanical coupling between myofibrils).
 Muscle fibers arrangement is either parallel or oblique to the muscle’s long axis.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
8
 Contains
 Sarcolemma ( cell membrane ) – surrounded by endomysium
 T tubles ( vertical invagination of sarcolemma separating A band and I band)
 sarcoplasm ( cytoplasm of muscle cell )
 Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) smooth endoplasmic reticulum
 termina cisterna ( collection of SR at A band and I band – contains calcium
 Triad ( two terminal cisterna +T tubule
 Termina cisterna – release available ca+ into sarcoplasm
 T tubules – carries stimulus from sarcolemma into myofibrils
 mitochondria ( power house) – produce ATP requiring glucose and oxygen
 Also known as sarcosomes
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
9
Muscle contraction
 Is caused by interactions of thick and thin filaments
 Structures of protein molecules determine interactions
 Neural stimulation of sarcolemma:
 causes excitation–contraction coupling
 Cisternae of SR release Ca2+
:
 which triggers interaction of thick and thin filaments
 consuming ATP and producing tension
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu

Muscles layers
1. Epimysium
 Exterior collagen layer
 Connected to deep fascia
 Separates muscle from surrounding tissue
2. perimysium-
 Surrounds muscle fiber bundles (fascicles)
 Contains blood vessel and nerve supply to fascicles
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu

Matrix
 It contains collagens, elastin, proteoglycans, and noncollagenous proteins.
 Although the extracellular matrix makes up only a small fraction of muscle volume, it is critical
for
 normal muscle function,
 maintenance of muscle, nerve and vessel structure,
and (Structural support)
 healing.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
17
Blood Vessels
 Muscles have extensive vascular systems that:
supply large amounts of oxygen
supply nutrients
carry away wastes
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
18
Innervation
 Initiation, coordination, and control of muscle contraction require elaborate innervations.
 A motor unit consists of the motor neuron and the muscle fibers it
innervates.
 One motor neuron innervates each myofiber, but each motor neuron generally innervates
more than one myofiber.
 The number of muscle fibers within a motor unit varies widely.
 This can range from 10 (extra-ocular muscles) to 2000 (gastrocnemius)
 Motor nerves attach to myofibers through neuromuscular junction (NMJ).

Properties of skeletal muscle
 Excitability
: ability to receive and respond to stimuli
 Contractility
:ability to shorten forcibly when get stimulated
 Extensibility
: ability to be stretched
 Elasticity
: ability to recoil to resting length
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
21
Types of muscle contraction
1. Isotonic —Muscle shortens against a constant load. Muscle tension remains constant. Joint movement occurs.
2. Isokinetic—Resistance (load) varies, but the of contraction stays the constant.(Muscle contracts at a constant velocity.)
3. Isometric—Muscle length remains static as tension is generated. No joint movement. (pushing against immovable object)
4. Concentric—Contraction that decrease in muscle length.
(Muscle force generated > Resisting load ).
5. Eccentric—Contraction that allows increase in muscle length.
(Resisting load > Muscle force generated).

Energetics
A. Three main energy systems provide fuel for muscular contractions
1. The phosphagen system
a. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule is hydrolyzed and converted directly to
adenosine diphosphate (ADP), inorganic phosphate, and energy. ADP may also be further
hydrolyzed to create adenosine monophosphate (AMP), again releasing inorganic phosphate and
energy.
 Total energy from the entire phosphagen system is enough to fuel the body to run
approximately 200 yards.
 No lactate is produced via this pathway; also, no oxygen is used
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
24
2. Anaerobic metabolism (glycolytic or lactic acid metabolism)
 Glucose is transformed into two molecules of lactic acid, creating enough energy to convert two molecules
of ADP to ATP.
 This system provides metabolic energy for approximately 20 to 120 seconds of intense activity.
 Oxygen is not used in this pathway.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
25
3. Aerobic metabolism
 Glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid, which then enter the Krebs cycle,
resulting in a net gain of 34 ATP per glucose molecule.
 Glucose exists in the cell in a limited quantity of glucose-6-phosphate.
 Additional sources of energy include stored muscle glycogen.
 Fats and proteins also can be converted to energy via aerobic metabolism.
 Oxygen is used in this pathway.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
26
Types of muscle fibers
1. Slow fibers ( type 1)
 Have small diameter
 More mitochondria,
 Contain myoglobin (red pigment, binds
oxygen)
 Have high oxygen supply
 Are slow to contract ..slow to fatigue
2. Intermediate fibers( type 2A)
 Are mid-sized
 Have low myoglobin
 Have more capillaries than fast fiber, slower
to fatigue
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
27
3. Fast fibers( type 2B)
 few mitochondria
 Contract very quickly
 Have large diameter, large glycogen reserves,
 Have strong contractions, fatigue quickly
 “The ratio of ST to FT fibres is genetically
determined but different training regimes
can selectively improve these fibres”
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
28
Comparing Skeletal Muscle Fibers
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
29
Training effects on muscle
1. Strength training (Resistance training );-
 usually consists of high-load, low-repetition exercise and
 results in increased muscle cross-sectional area.
 This is more likely due to muscle hypertrophy (increased size of muscle fibers) rather than hyperplasia
(increased number of muscle fibers).
 Increase in the contractile proteins with few metabolic changes
 Initially resistance training will produce a rapid increase in strength in the absence of hypertrophy
through increased recruitment of muscle fibres
 After a period of resistance training there is muscle fibre hypertrophy with an increase in the number of
contractile elements thus increasing the strength
 Strength training results in adaptation of all fiber types.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
30
2. Endurance training
 Aerobic training results in changes in both central and peripheral circulation as well as muscle
metabolism.
 Prolonged low intensity activity will cause the following effects in all fibre types ( I and IIA
particularly)
 Increase in the number of mitochondria
 Increase the muscle’s capacity to oxidise fatty acids through aerobic metabolism
 Increase in muscle myoglobin content
 Increase in the number of capillary blood vessels
 Energy efficiency is the primary adaptation seen in contractile muscle
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu

Muscle injury
BASED ON THE MECHANISMS :
MECHANICAL
Blunt trauma,
lacerations, and
 tearing injuries etc
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
32
Muscle strains
 Incomplete muscle fiber tears due to overstretching.
 Typically occur at the myotendinous junction, with hemorrhage and fiber disruption.
 These are the most common sports injury.
 They occur primarily in muscles crossing two joints (hamstring, rectus femoris,
gastrocnemius).
 Prevention is by correct warm-up and stretch procedures
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
33
Muscle tears/ Pull
 Complete muscle tears typically occur near the myotendinous junction.
 They are characterized by muscle contour abnormality.
 They typically heal with dense scarring.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
34
Muscle laceration
 Due to penetrating injury causing complete laceration of muscle.
 Fragments heal by dense connective scar tissue.
 Muscle tissue or reinnervation: only partial recovery is likely.
 minimal regeneration of muscle fibers distally, scar formation at the laceration, and recovery
of about half the muscle strength
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
35
 Incomplete lacerations will result in the muscle be able to generate only 60% of its tension
but it will regain its full ability to shorten
 In complete lacerations a dense scar will form and the muscle will be only able to generate ~
50% of its original tension and 80% of its ability to shorten
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
36
Muscle contusion
 Is a non penetrating blunt injury to muscle resulting in hematoma and inflammation
 Characteristics include:
1. Scar formation and variable amount of muscle regeneration.
2. New synthesis of extracellular connective tissue within 2 days of the injury, with
peak at 5 to 21 days.
3. Myositis ossificans (bone formation within muscle).
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
37
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
 Is muscle ache and pain that typically occurs 24 - 72 hours after intense exercise.
Pathogenesis
 Structural muscle injury occurs and leads to progressive edema formation and resultant
increased intramuscular pressure.
 These changes seem to occur primarily in type IIB fibers.
 It may be associated with changes in the I band of the sarcomere.
 More common following excessive eccentric contractions
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
38
Denervation
 This causes:
 muscle atrophy and
 increased sensitivity to acetylcholine.
 spontaneous fibrillations at 2 - 4 weeks after injury.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
39
Immobilization and disuse
 Decreases number of sarcomeres at the Musculotendinous junction.
 They results in muscle atrophy with:
 associated loss of strength and increased fatigability.
 loss of myofibrils within the muscle cells.
 Immobilization in lengthened positions:
 Decreases contractures and maintains strength.
 It accelerates granulation tissue response.
 Atrophy can also results from disuse
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
40
Muscle healing/repair
 Muscle healing, like healing of the other vascularized
tissues, proceeds through:
inflammation
repair and
remodelling
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
41
Inflammation
 Includes migration of inflammatory cells into the injured muscle and, in most
injuries, hemorrhage and formation of a hematoma.
 Phagocytic inflammatory cells enter damaged muscle fibers and phagocytize
bundles of contractile filaments and other cytoplasmic debris.
 Cytokines and growth factors regulate the repair processes after muscle
injury.
 Sources of cytokines include infiltrating
 neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages, activated fibroblasts, and
endothelial cells.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
42
Repair
 Spindle-shaped myogenic cells proliferate  fuse with one another
 form long syncytial myotubes Contractile proteins continue to
accumulate and form myofibrils.
 To become functional, innervation, including formation of a
neuromuscular junction is important.
 Fibroblasts : produce granulation tissue necessary to repair the
matrix of the muscle.
 The optimal results of muscle healing require a balance between
myofiber regeneration and synthesis of new matrix.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
43
Remodelling
 Extracellular matrix continues to remodel once
muscle fibers have appeared.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
44
TENDON AND LIGAMENT

from the joint upon which it acts.
 “Thickness of bone-until age 30 and growth of
ligament and tendon until age 20.”
Ligament
 Connect bone to bone
 Supporting , strengthening joints & Restrict
range of motion to prevent excessive movement
that could cause dislocation and spraining
 Have mechanoreceptors and free nerve endings
that help with joint proprioception

Properties of tendon and ligament
 possesses one of the highest tensile strengths of any soft tissue in the body
Reason
1. its main constituent is collagen, one of the strongest fibrous proteins,
2.these collagen fibers are arranged parallel to the direction of tensile force.
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
60
 Has viscoelastic property
 Viscous property==the ability to resist deformation by shear or tensile stress
 Elastic property == the ability to return back to its original shape and size when
stress is removed
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
61
Biomechanics
 Tendons exhibit viscoelastic behavior; the mechanical properties of the tissue are dependent on
loading history and time. Time dependence is best illustrated by the phenomena of creep and
stress relaxation.
I. Stress relaxation :-The decrease in load/stress for a constant elongation/strain(decreased stress
with time under constant deformation)
II. Creep :- The increase in elongation/strain for a constant applied load/stress.
III. Hysteresis (energy dissipation):- when tissue is loaded and unloaded, the unloading curve will
not follow the loading curve.
 the difference between the 2 curves is the energy that is dissipated
IV. Stress-strain (load-elongation) curve

Injury, Healing, and Repair
 MOI-
1. Direct –laceration/contusion
2. Indirect –tensile overload
Depends on
 anatomical location,
 vascularity ,
 amount of force applied and MOI
 the presence of previous pathology
 Failure at the weak link-either
 avulsion # or rupture at the musculotendinious junction
 mid-substance rupture is not common
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
70
Phases of healing
1. Inflammation - within the 1st 24 hrs
• Damaged capillaries within the ligament /tendon and adjacent tissues produce a hematoma
• Release of the potent vasodilators result in influx of inflammatory cells into the injured area
• Phagocytosis of necrotic materials at the injury site
• Angiogenesis in response to an angiogenic factor secreted by the macrophage
• proliferation of fibroblast
• Type III collagen synthesis initiated
Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu
71
2. Repair/proliferative phase (48 hours to 6 weeks)
• type III collagens synthesis peaks and proteoglycans concentration remain high
• The gap between the torn ligament ends is filled with a friable, vascular granulation tissue
3.Remodelling (6th week to 1-2 years)
• Devascularisation and the cellularity is decreased
• Change from type III to I
• Reorientation of collagen – fibrils become aligned in the direction of mechanical stress
• Increased crosslinking of the fibrils - increment in the tensile strength

Enthesis
 Tendon/Ligament-Bone Junction
 Two types of insertions:
1. Direct insertion (e.g., rotator cuff)— fibrocartilaginous transition zone composed of four
elements: tendon, fibrocartilage, mineralized fibrocartilage, and bone
2. Indirect insertion—tendon fibers (Sharpey fibers) inserting directly onto periosteum
 Inflammation of entheses is seen in HLA-B27– positive processes (e.g., Ankylosing
spondylitis), and subsequent ossification results in joint ankylosis.

SKELETAL MUSCLE TISSUE: MUSCLE ,TENDON, LIGAMENT

  • 1. SKELETAL MUSCLE TISSUE: MUSCLE ,TENDON, LIGAMENT PREPARED BY DR. DAWIT ALEMAYEHU 1
  • 2. OUTLINE  Introduction  Function of muscles  Skeletal muscle composition and structural organization  Properties of skeletal muscle  Muscle injury  Ligament and tendon function  Ligament and tendon structural organization  Tendon and ligament injury Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 2
  • 4. Introduction  One of 4 primary tissue types  40 – 50% of body weight  Skeletal muscles receive innervation from the somatic peripheral nerve  Muscle consists primarily of cells/ myocytes/ muscle fibers  They affect voluntary control of the axial and appendicular skeleton.  A skeletal muscle consists of a bundle of long fibers  Adults have a fixed number of muscle cells; Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 4
  • 5. Skeletal muscle function 1. Produce movement 2. Maintain posture 3. Stabilize joint 4. Thermogenesis 5. Store Nutrient reserves 6. Guard body openings (entrance/exit) Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 5
  • 6. Skeletal muscle composition and structural organization  Muscle tissue (muscle cells or fibers)  Muscles contain highly differentiated cells called myocytes.  Formed from fusion of multiple small mesenchymal cells called myoblasts  Connective tissues  Nerves  Blood vessels Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 6
  • 7.  Are cylindrical in shape  Are very long  Multinucleated – in hundreds  contain unique form of endoplasmic reticulum ( sacroplasmic reticulum)  composed of contractile protein filaments  Actin and Myosin are organized into cylindrical organelles called myofibrils.  Aggregates of myofibrils cluster into bundles called fascicles.  Aggregates of fascicles + extracellular matrix form a muscle. Muscle fiber Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 7
  • 8.  The smallest (Basic) functional unit of muscle contraction is the sarcomere.  Adjacent myofibrils are connected by a set of specialized proteins called intermediate filaments (for mechanical coupling between myofibrils).  Muscle fibers arrangement is either parallel or oblique to the muscle’s long axis. Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 8
  • 9.  Contains  Sarcolemma ( cell membrane ) – surrounded by endomysium  T tubles ( vertical invagination of sarcolemma separating A band and I band)  sarcoplasm ( cytoplasm of muscle cell )  Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) smooth endoplasmic reticulum  termina cisterna ( collection of SR at A band and I band – contains calcium  Triad ( two terminal cisterna +T tubule  Termina cisterna – release available ca+ into sarcoplasm  T tubules – carries stimulus from sarcolemma into myofibrils  mitochondria ( power house) – produce ATP requiring glucose and oxygen  Also known as sarcosomes Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 9
  • 10. Muscle contraction  Is caused by interactions of thick and thin filaments  Structures of protein molecules determine interactions  Neural stimulation of sarcolemma:  causes excitation–contraction coupling  Cisternae of SR release Ca2+ :  which triggers interaction of thick and thin filaments  consuming ATP and producing tension Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 10
  • 11. Muscles layers 1. Epimysium  Exterior collagen layer  Connected to deep fascia  Separates muscle from surrounding tissue 2. perimysium-  Surrounds muscle fiber bundles (fascicles)  Contains blood vessel and nerve supply to fascicles Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 11
  • 12. 3. Endomysium  Surrounds individual muscle cells (muscle fibers)  Contains capillaries and nerve fibers contacting muscle cells  Contains satellite cells (stem cells) that repair damage Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 12
  • 13.  Level 1  level2 Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 13
  • 14.  Level 3  Level 4 Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 14
  • 15. Level 5 Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 15
  • 16. Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 16
  • 17. Matrix  It contains collagens, elastin, proteoglycans, and noncollagenous proteins.  Although the extracellular matrix makes up only a small fraction of muscle volume, it is critical for  normal muscle function,  maintenance of muscle, nerve and vessel structure, and (Structural support)  healing. Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 17
  • 18. Blood Vessels  Muscles have extensive vascular systems that: supply large amounts of oxygen supply nutrients carry away wastes Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 18
  • 19. Innervation  Initiation, coordination, and control of muscle contraction require elaborate innervations.  A motor unit consists of the motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates.  One motor neuron innervates each myofiber, but each motor neuron generally innervates more than one myofiber.  The number of muscle fibers within a motor unit varies widely.  This can range from 10 (extra-ocular muscles) to 2000 (gastrocnemius)  Motor nerves attach to myofibers through neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 19
  • 20. Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 20
  • 21. Properties of skeletal muscle  Excitability : ability to receive and respond to stimuli  Contractility :ability to shorten forcibly when get stimulated  Extensibility : ability to be stretched  Elasticity : ability to recoil to resting length Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 21
  • 22. Types of muscle contraction 1. Isotonic —Muscle shortens against a constant load. Muscle tension remains constant. Joint movement occurs. 2. Isokinetic—Resistance (load) varies, but the of contraction stays the constant.(Muscle contracts at a constant velocity.) 3. Isometric—Muscle length remains static as tension is generated. No joint movement. (pushing against immovable object) 4. Concentric—Contraction that decrease in muscle length. (Muscle force generated > Resisting load ). 5. Eccentric—Contraction that allows increase in muscle length. (Resisting load > Muscle force generated). Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 22
  • 23. Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 23
  • 24. Energetics A. Three main energy systems provide fuel for muscular contractions 1. The phosphagen system a. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule is hydrolyzed and converted directly to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), inorganic phosphate, and energy. ADP may also be further hydrolyzed to create adenosine monophosphate (AMP), again releasing inorganic phosphate and energy.  Total energy from the entire phosphagen system is enough to fuel the body to run approximately 200 yards.  No lactate is produced via this pathway; also, no oxygen is used Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 24
  • 25. 2. Anaerobic metabolism (glycolytic or lactic acid metabolism)  Glucose is transformed into two molecules of lactic acid, creating enough energy to convert two molecules of ADP to ATP.  This system provides metabolic energy for approximately 20 to 120 seconds of intense activity.  Oxygen is not used in this pathway. Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 25
  • 26. 3. Aerobic metabolism  Glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid, which then enter the Krebs cycle, resulting in a net gain of 34 ATP per glucose molecule.  Glucose exists in the cell in a limited quantity of glucose-6-phosphate.  Additional sources of energy include stored muscle glycogen.  Fats and proteins also can be converted to energy via aerobic metabolism.  Oxygen is used in this pathway. Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 26
  • 27. Types of muscle fibers 1. Slow fibers ( type 1)  Have small diameter  More mitochondria,  Contain myoglobin (red pigment, binds oxygen)  Have high oxygen supply  Are slow to contract ..slow to fatigue 2. Intermediate fibers( type 2A)  Are mid-sized  Have low myoglobin  Have more capillaries than fast fiber, slower to fatigue Prepared by Dr. Dawit Alemayehu 27
