Essential Question

• What are the structures of the muscular system?

3
The Muscular System

• Comprises nearly half our weight.
• Over 650 muscles.
• Each muscle is made up of hundreds or thousands
  of muscle fibers.

4
The Muscular SystemMuscle Fibers

• Bundles of threadlike structures called
  myofibrils
• Composed of
• Myosin
• Actin
• Form overlapping pattern called sarcomere
• muscle muscle fiber
• sarcolemma sarcomere
• functional unit of muscle movement

5
Structures of the muscular system

• Muscles
• Skeletal
• Smooth
• Cardiac
• Sphincter

• Connective tissue
• Tendons
• Fascia

6
Structures of the muscular system

• Types of muscle
• Skeletal
• Smooth
• Cardiac
• Sphincter

7
Structures of the muscular system

• Types of Muscle
• Skeletal muscles
• Attached to bone
• Striated (striped) appearance
• Voluntary
• Multinucleated muscle cell bundles

8
Structures of the muscular system

• Types of Muscle
• Smooth muscles
• Also known as visceral muscles
• Involuntary
• Located in walls of digestive system, uterus
  blood vessels

9
Structures of the muscular system

• Types of Muscle
• Cardiac muscle
• Found only in the heart
• Striated, branched
• Involuntary
• Cells are fused- when one contracts, they all
  contract, creating the heartbeat

10
Structures of the muscular system

• Types of Muscle
• Sphincter muscles
• Also called dilator muscles
• Special, circular muscles
• Located in the
• digestive system
• urinary system

11
Structures of the muscular system

• Types of Muscle
• Skeletal
• Smooth
• Cardiac
• Sphincter

12
Structures of the muscular system

• Types of Connective tissue
• Tendons
• Fascia

13
Structures of the muscular system

• Connective tissue
• Tendons
• dense bands that connect skeletal muscle to the
  bone

14
Structures of the muscular system

• Connective tissue
• Fascia
• Fibrous connective tissue sheets that wrap around
  muscle bundles

15
How do skeletal muscles get their names?

• Location
• Size
• Direction
• Number of origins
• Location of origin and insertion
• Action flexor
• Extensor
• Depressor

• However,
• not all muscles are named by the above methods!
