PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Myology: the study of muscle structure,arrangement and actions of the muscles.
The muscle system is developed from 3 different types of muscle
SMOOTH MUSCLE
- Weakest muscle
- Involuntary
- Contracts slowly
- Can remain contracted for long periods of time
SMOOTH MUSCLE
- Not striated
- Includes he stomach,intestines,and blood vessels
SKELETAL MUSCLE
- Only voluntary muscle group
- Long cells with multiple nuclei
- Striated
- 400 muscles
CARDIAC MUSCLES
- Heart muscles
- Works 24/7
- Strongest set of muscles in the body
- Some striation
- Regulated body heat
Untitled Slide
- Actin:def: protein that forms the contractile filaments of the muscles cells(thin muscle fibers)
- Myosin:def: fibrous protein (thick muscle connections)
CONTRACTIONS
- Brain sends signal
- Nerve impulses get sent to the muscle fibers
- Calcium is released
- Binds the myosin and actin
- Power stoke occurs
- ATP is used to release contraction
- Cross ridge waits for calcium
A flexor is a group of muscles that work together to bend a joint
Extenders are a group of muscles that work together to extend and straighten joints
Muscle fatigue:def: A state of exhaustion or loss of strength and/or muscle endurance following strenuous activity
Basically you just physically overwork yourself
How are muscles, bones, and tendons related?
Tendons attach muscle to bone
How are ligaments relate to tendons,muscles,bones?
Ligaments attach bone to bone,similar to how tendons attach muscle to bone
Def: the threshold response of each particular nerve cell and muscular fiber to a stimulus. A nerve cell with either fire completely or not at all; A muscle fiber will contract to its limit with a stimulus
MAJOR MUSCLES
- Biceps
- Triceps
- Trapezius
- Deltoids
- Pectorals
MAJOR MUSCLES
- Rectus abdominus
- Hamstrings
- Obliques
- Quadriceps
- Hamstrings
FUN FACTS
- 17 muscles to smile and 42 to frown
- The muscle system take up about 40% of a humans average body weight
- Smallest muscle is in the ear
- Muscles cannot push
