Muscles Interact with the Skeleton

Section 29.1

Most animal movements require interaction between the muscular and skeletal systems.

Section 29.1

The muscular system provides motion. Muscle cells contract when stimulated by the nervous system.

Section 29.2

Bones are the organs of the vertebrate skeleton. They are grouped into two categories: •Axial skeleton (tan)•Appendicular skeleton (blue)

The Vertebrate Skeleton: An Overview

Figure 29.4

Section 29.2

The axial skeleton is located along the central axis of the body. It consists of:

• Bones in the head• Bones of the rib cage• The vertebral column

The Vertebrate Skeleton: An Overview

Figure 29.4

Section 29.2

The axial skeleton shields soft body parts. • The skull protects the brain

and the sense organs.• The ribs protect the heart and

lungs. • The vertebral column protects

the spinal cord.

The Vertebrate Skeleton: An Overview

Figure 29.4

Section 29.2

The appendicular skeleton consists of the appendages and the bones that support them.• The pectoral girdle connects

the forelimbs to the axial skeleton.

• The pelvic girdle attaches the hind limbs to the axial skeleton.

The Skull and Associated Bones

Sutures

• Sutures – Immovable joints that join skull bones together

• Form boundaries between skull bones

• Four sutures:

– Coronal – between parietal and frontal

– Sagittal– between parietal bones

– Lambdoid – between the parietal and occipital

– Squamous – between the parietal and temporal

Fontanels – usually ossify by 2 years of age

•skull = 22 bones

•cranium = 8 bones: frontal, occipital, 2 temporals, 2 parietals, sphenoid and

ethmoid

•facial bones = 14 bones: nasals, maxillae, zygomatics, mandible, lacrimals,

palatines, inferior nasal conchae, vomer.

•skull forms a larger cranial cavity

-also forms the nasal cavity, the orbits, paranasal sinuses

mandible and auditory ossicles are the only movable skull bones

•cranial bones also: attach to membranes called meninges

-stabilize positions of the brain, blood vessels

-outer surface provides large areas for muscle attachment that

move the head or provide facial expressions

Bone Structure and Function

Figure 29.9

Bones are a reservoir for calcium, which has many essential functions in the body. Thyroid and parathyroid hormones regulate calcium homeostasis.

If bones consistently lose more calcium than they add, then osteoporosisdevelops, in which bones become less dense.

Bone Meets Bone at a Joint

Figure 29.11

A joint is an area where two bones meet.

Section 29.3

Bone Meets Bone at a Joint

Movable joints have fluid-filled capsules of connective tissue, allowing bones to move against each other with little friction.

What are the main parts of a long bone?

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

As we’ve seen, movement relies on interaction between bones and muscles.

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Muscles have many other functions too.

Table 29.2

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

The human body has more than 600 skeletal muscles, which generate voluntary movements.

Figure 29.12

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Pairs of muscles work together to generate body movements.

Figure 29.12

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Muscles have a hierarchical organization.

Figure 29.14

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Muscles consist mainly of bundles of muscle fibers.

Figure 29.10

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Each muscle fiber is a single cell.

Figure 29.10

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Each muscle cell is packed with myofibrils.

Figure 29.10

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Figure 29.10

Myofibrils are divided into functional units called sarcomeres.

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Figure 29.10

Each sarcomere contains thick and thin protein filaments.

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

When a muscle cell contracts, its sarcomeres become shorter.

Figure 29.15

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

According to the sliding filament model, sarcomeres contract because the thin actin filaments slide between the thick myosin filaments.

Figure 29.15

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

How does this sliding action occur?

Figure 29.15

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Before the thick and thin filaments of a sarcomere can slide passed one another, the muscle cell must be stimulated.

Figure 29.16

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

An action potential travels along a motor neuron. When it reaches the axon terminal, the cell releases neurotransmitters.

Figure 29.16

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Neurotransmitters bind to the muscle cell, starting an electrical wave that propagates along the muscle cell membrane.

Figure 29.16

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

As the electrical wave spreads down T tubules, it causes the nearby sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium into the sarcomere.

Figure 29.16

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

The presence of calcium allows filaments to slide. Let’s look more closely at a sarcomere.

Figure 29.16

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Figure 29.17

Muscle contraction at a molecular scale:

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

In step 1, actin and myosin filaments are near each other but not touching. The muscle has received a signal from the nervous system.

Figure 29.17

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Calcium binds to a thin-filament protein called troponin, causing it to change shape and pull on another protein called tropomyosin.

Figure 29.17

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

With tropomyosin pulled aside, binding sites on actin are exposed.

Figure 29.17

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

In step 2, myosin binds to exposed binding sites on actin, forming cross bridges.

Figure 29.17

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

In step 3, the cross bridge changes shape from straight to bent. This “power stroke” pulls on the actin filament.

Figure 29.17

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

A new ATP molecule comes in at step 4. It binds to the cross bridges, which causes them to separate from the actin binding sites.

Figure 29.17

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

In step 5, hydrolysis of ATP provides the energy to return myosin to its straight conformation.

Figure 29.17

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Myosin is now ready to bind to actin again.

Figure 29.17

Section 29.4

Muscle Contraction Requires ATP

Once the electrical stimulation from the nervous system subsides, calcium will release from troponin, and myosin can no longer bind to actin.

Figure 29.17

Clicker Question #4

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a disorder in which motor neurons are destroyed. How would this disorder affect muscle function?

A. Muscles fail to contract because ATP is not available.B. Muscles fail to contract because they do not receive a signal to do so.C. Muscles are continually contracted because ATP is not available.D. Muscles are continually contracted because they do not receive a signal to relax.

Section 29.5

Muscle Fibers Generate ATP in Multiple Ways

A resting muscle cell generates ATP in aerobic respiration.

Figure 29.18

Section 29.5

Muscle Fibers Generate ATP in Multiple Ways

During activity, muscle cells replenish ATP with creatine phosphate, a molecule that donates a phosphate to ADP.

Section 29.5

Muscle Fibers Generate ATP in Multiple Ways

After creatine phosphate is gone, aerobic respiration continues to produce ATP if muscles are receiving enough oxygen.

Section 29.5

Muscle Fibers Generate ATP in Multiple Ways

Otherwise, the cells switch to fermentation, an anaerobic pathway of ATP production that generates lactic acid as a byproduct.

Section 29.5

Muscle Fibers Generate ATP in Multiple Ways

Muscle cell metabolism also explains why a dead body “goes stiff.” After death, cells no longer produce ATP. Actin cannot separate from myosin, resulting in rigor mortis.

Section 29.4

Muscles Are Organized into Motor Units

Motor neurons send impulses from the central nervous system to muscle cells, causing them to contract.

Figure 29.19

Section 29.4

One motor neuron typically synapses with several muscle cells, forming a motor unit that contracts together.

Figure 29.19

Muscles Are Organized into Motor Units

Section 29.4

Motor units may be small (consisting of few muscle cells) or large. Smaller motor units produce fine, precise movements.

Investigating Life: Did a Myosin Gene Mutation Make Humans Brainier?

Myosin genes encode proteins abundant in muscle cells. A myosin gene expressed in jaw muscles is mutated in human DNA but active in related primates.

Figure 29.22

The myosin mutation explains why humans have small and weak jaw muscles compared to our relatives, but how does it relate to our intellectual abilities?

Figure 29.22Section 29.7

Investigating Life: Did a Myosin Gene Mutation Make Humans Brainier?

Large jaw muscles have larger attachment areas on the skull than small jaw muscles, which might put a constraint on brain size.

Weak jaw muscles might have lifted this constraint on brain size, changing the course of human evolution.
