Muscle Functions

1. Movement of bones or fluids (e.g., blood)

2. Maintaining posture and body position

3. Stabilizing joints

4. Heat generation (esp. skeletal muscle)

Skeletal Muscle

• Connective tissue sheaths of skeletal muscle:

• Epimysium: fibrous CT surrounding entire muscle

• Perimysium: fibrous CT surrounding fascicles (groups of muscle fibers)

• Endomysium: delicate CT surrounding each muscle fiber

Skeletal Muscle: Attachments

• Muscles attach to bone by an origin and insertion

• Origin —is fixed and on the immovable bone

• Insertion—is on the movable bone.

• As a contraction occurs the insertion moves towards the origin

Myofibrils• Densely packed, rodlike organelles

• ~80% of cell volume

• Composed of sarcomeres

• Exhibit striations:perfectly aligned repeating series of dark A bands and light I bands

Myofibril

Sarcomere

• Smallest contractile unit (functional unit) of a muscle fiber

• The region of a myofibril between two successive Z discs

• Composed of myofilaments: Thick (myosin) and thin (actin)

Regions of a Sarcomere

• A band (Dark Band)- Contains thin & thick filaments

• H zone: lighter midregion where filaments do not overlap

• M line: proteins that hold adjacent thick filaments together; center of sarcomere

• I band (Light Band)- Contains only thin filaments

• Z disc: proteins that anchor thin filaments; mark start and end of one sarcomere

Myofilaments of a Sarcomere

• Thick Filament

• Composed of many myosin proteins

• A single myosin protein has a “tail” and a “head” that can:

• Bind actin and pull it during a contraction

• Hydrolyze ATP to release energy

• Thin Filament

• Twisted double strand of actin protein

• Has active sites for the myosin head

Fully relaxed

Fully contracted

•In the relaxed state, thin and thick filaments slightly overlap•During contraction, myosin heads bind to actin, detach, and bind again, propelling thin filaments toward M line•As H zones shorten and disappear, sarcomeres shorten, muscle cells shorten, and whole muscle shortens

The Neuromuscular Junction

• Defined as:

• Axons of motor neurons: travel from the brain/spinal cord via nerves to skeletal muscles

• Each axon: branches into a number of axon terminals as it enters a muscle

• Each axon ending forms: a neuromuscular junction with a single muscle fiber

1 Action potential arrives ataxon terminal of motor neuron.

2 Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open and Ca2+ enters the axon terminal.

The Neuromuscular Junction

• Axon terminal and muscle fiber are: separated by space called the synaptic cleft

• Synaptic vesicles within axon terminal contain: the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)

• Junctional folds of the sarcolemma contain: ACh receptors (chemically-gated channels)

Events at the Neuromuscular Junction1) A nerve impulse: arrives at the axon terminal

2) Ca2+ floods into axon terminal

3) Ca2+ entry causes synaptic vesicles to release Ach

4) ACh diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the sarcolemma

5) Ach binding opens channels

6) Na+ floods into muscle fiber and K+ floods out making the interior of cell less negative

7) Once threshold is reached an AP is generated

• The AP is an unstoppable, electrical event that travels along the entire sarcolemma conducting the electrical impulse from one end of cell to the other

• Repolarization :The muscle cell returns to its resting state mainly by the exit of K+

1 Action potential arrives ataxon terminal of motor neuron.

2 Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open and Ca2+ enters the axon terminal.

3 Ca2+ entry causes some synaptic vesicles to release their contents (acetylcholine)by exocytosis.

4 Acetylcholine, aneurotransmitter, diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors in the sarcolemma.

5 ACh binding opens ionchannels that allow simultaneous passage of Na+ into the musclefiber and K+ out of the muscle fiber.

6 ACh effects are terminated by its enzymatic breakdown in the synaptic cleft by acetylcholinesterase.

Destruction of Acetylcholine

• ACh effects are quickly terminated by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase

• Prevents continued muscle fiber contraction in the absence of additional stimulation

Role of Calcium (Ca2+) in Contraction

• At low intracellular Ca2+ concentration:

• Active sites on actin are blocked

• Myosin heads cannot attach to actin

• Muscle fiber relaxes

Troponin Tropomyosinblocking active sitesMyosin

Active sites exposed and ready for myosin binding

Calcium binds totroponin and removesthe blocking action oftropomyosin.

Role of Calcium (Ca2+) in Contraction

• At higher intracellular Ca2+ concentrations:

• Ca2+ causes binding sites on actin to be exposed

• Events of the cross bridge cycle occur

• When nervous stimulation ceases, Ca2+ is pumped back into the SR and contraction ends

Contraction begins

The aftermath

Cross Bridge Cycle

• Continues as long as the Ca2+ signal and adequate ATP are present

• Cross bridge formation: high-energy myosin head attaches to thin filament

• Power stroke: myosin head pivots and pulls thin filament toward M line

Cross Bridge Cycle

• Cross bridge detachment: ATP attaches to myosin head and the cross bridge detaches

• “Cocking” of the myosin head: energy from hydrolysis of ATP cocks the myosin head into the high-energy state

Graded Muscle Responses

• Defined: Variations in the degree of muscle contraction

Responses are graded by:

1. Changing the frequency of stimulation

2. Changing the number of muscle cells being stimulated at one time (by changing strength of stimulus)

Contraction

Relaxation

Stimulus

Single stimulus single twitch

A single stimulus results in a single contractile response called a muscle twitch

Response to Change in Stimulus Frequency

• Increase frequency of stimulus muscle doesn’t have time to completely relax (btwn. stimuli)

• Ca2+ release stimulates further contraction temporal (wave) summation

• Further increase in stimulus frequency unfused (incomplete) tetanus

• If stimuli are given quickly enough, fused (complete) tetanus results

Stimuli

Partial relaxation

Low stimulation frequencyunfused (incomplete) tetanus

(b) If another stimulus is applied before the muscle relaxes completely, then more tension results.

Stimuli

High stimulation frequencyfused (complete) tetanus

(c) At higher stimulus frequencies, there is no relaxation at all between stimuli. This is fused (complete) tetanus.

Muscle Metabolism: Energy for Contraction

• ATP is the only source used directly for contractile activities

• Available stores of ATP are depleted in 4–6 seconds

• ATP is regenerated by:

• Direct phosphorylation of ADP by creatine phosphate (CP)

• Anaerobic pathway

• Aerobic pathway

• Direct phosphorylation of ADP by creatine phosphate (CP)

• CP is more concentrated in muscle fibers than ATP (~4 X more)

• When ATP stores are depleted: muscle fibers use CP to regenerate ATP

• Products are: 1 ATP/ CP

• Provides energy for: ~ 15 seconds of activity

Coupled reaction of creatinephosphate (CP) and ADP

Energy source: CP

Oxygen use: NoneProducts: 1 ATP per CP, creatineDuration of energy provision:15 seconds

Creatinekinase

Creatine ATP

Anaerobic Pathway

• Under intense muscle activity or when oxygen delivery is impaired: the body switches to the anaerobic pathway

• Begins just like aerobic pathway (Glucose breakdown) but pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid

• Products are: 2ATP/glucose

• Provides energy for : 60 seconds of activity

Energy source: glucose

Aerobic Pathway

• Produces 95% of ATP during rest and light to moderate exercise

• Fuels: stored glycogen, then bloodborne glucose, pyruvic acid from glycolysis, and free fatty acids

• Products are: 32 ATP/glucose, CO2 and H2O

• Provides energy for: hours (endurance activities)

Energy source: glucose; pyruvic acid;free fatty acids from adipose tissue;amino acids from protein catabolism

ATP stored inmuscles isused first.

Glycogen stored in muscles is brokendown to glucose, which is oxidized togenerate ATP.

ATP is generated bybreakdown of severalnutrient energy fuels byaerobic pathway. Thispathway uses oxygenreleased from myoglobinor delivered in the bloodby hemoglobin. When itends, the oxygen deficit ispaid back.
