Movement:Movement:
Movement is initiated in the brain which is part of the Central Nervous System (CNS) with the initiation of an action potential
The impulse travels down the spinal cord out to the motor neuron which carries the electrical impulse to the muscle
Between the motor neuron and muscle is a synapse

Sliding Filament Mechanism:Sliding Filament Mechanism:1. Brain says move
2. Impulse travels down spinal cord
3. Impulse travels out spinal nerve to periphery (the muscle you want to move)
4. The impulse travels down the motor neuron
5. The impulse reaches the presynaptic bulb of the motor neuron where (ACh is stored in vesicles, the sarcolemma is semipermeable and polarized due to Na+ and K+ ions gathering outside the sarcollema)

6. The impulse crosses the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) with the help of ACh
The junction of the motor neuron and muscle fiber
7. As soon as the ACh hits the sarcolemma the action potential is stimulated and the permeability of the sarcolemma is changed or depolarized.
The wave of depolarization continues down the length of the muscle fiber.

8. Wave of depolarization releases Ca+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Actin and myosin have on their surface binding sites so that the myofibrils can bind together to create muscle contraction
Binding sites are protected by Troponin/Tropomyosin to prevent the myofibrils from binding to each other when the muscle is at rest
Ca+ ions push Troponin/Tropomyosin away from the binding sites on actin and myosin, making the binding sites readily available for the creation of cross-bridges

Oxygen debt: can’t get enough oxygen into the body so we start to build up lactic acid– Lactic acid is “poison” to the muscles – Slows the reclaiming of Ca+ ions so the muscles
won’t fully relax

Types of muscle contraction (cont.):Types of muscle contraction (cont.):
5. Concentric: muscles shorten while generating force “positive” lift
6. Eccentric: the muscle elongates while under tension due to an opposing force being greater than the force generated by the muscle.
“negative” lift Rather than working to pull a joint in the
direction of the muscle contraction, the muscle acts to decelerate the joint at the end of a movement or otherwise control the repositioning of a load.

Movement:Movement:
Most muscles cross at least one joint– Some cross 2 or even 3 joints
When muscles contract they pull with equal force from both ends– One end of the muscle must be stable to create
movement

Terminology:Terminology:
Origin: immovable end of the muscle – Where the muscle “starts”
Insertion: moveable end of the muscle – The end of the muscle that the force is applied
to
Belly: “meaty” part of the muscle– Where the actual muscle contraction occurs

Levers:Levers:
The body moves through a system of levers Muscle pull works around these levers Levers also give the body a mechanical
advantage– This means that it takes less force to create
movement therefore making the muscles job “easier”

Group Actions:Group Actions:
Agonist– “prime mover”– The muscle that initiates the movement
Synergist– Muscles that work together to generate movement
Antagonist– Muscles that work against the prime movers
Fixators/Stabilizers– Muscles that stabilize a joint or bone so that another
muscle can work more efficiently

Disorders of the muscular system:
Disorders of the muscular system:
Fibrosis: increase in the amout of fibrous connective tissue where it is not supposed to be decreasing the ability of the muscles to contract and expand the way they’re supposed to
Muscular Dystrophy: disintigration of muscle fibers can lead to complete atrophy and loss of motor function

Myesthemia Gravis: autoimmune disorder that results in the weakening of the the muscles caused by faulty nmj
Abnormal contractions:– Muscle spasm: a single muscle group does an
uncontrolled contraction– Tonic spasm: cramp
