Biology 218 – Human Anatomy RIDDELL Biology 218 – Human Anatomy RIDDELL Chapter 10 Adapted form Tortora 10th ed. LECTURE OUTLINE A. Introduction (p. 265) 1. Bones provide leverage and form the framework of the body, but motion results from alternating contraction (shortening) and relaxation of muscles. 2. Muscle tissue also stabilizes the body’s position, regulates organ volume, generates heat, and propels fluids and food through various body systems. 3. The study of muscles is called myology. B. Overview of Muscle Tissue (p. 266) 1. There are three types of muscle tissue (see Table 10.2): i. Skeletal muscle tissue a. moves bones (and, in some cases, skin and other soft tissues) b. striated c. voluntary ii. Cardiac muscle tissue a. forms most of the wall of the heart b. striated c. involuntary d. some cells have autorhythmicity iii. Smooth muscle tissue a. located in the walls of hollow internal structures (and arrector pili muscles) b. nonstriated, i.e., smooth c. involuntary d. some cells have autorhythmicity 2. Muscle tissue has four major functions: i. producing body movements ii. stabilizing body positions iii. storing and moving substances within the body iv. producing heat 3. Muscle tissue has four major characteristics that enable it to perform its functions: i. Electrical excitability is the ability to respond to certain stimuli by producing electrical signals called action potentials (impulses) ii. Contractility is the ability to shorten, thus developing tension (force of contraction) a. in an isometric contraction, a muscle develops tension but does not shorten b. in an isotonic contraction, tension remains relatively constant while the muscle shortens iii. Extensibility is the ability of the muscle to be stretched without being damaged iv. Elasticity is the ability to return to its original shape after contraction or extension C. Skeletal Muscle Tissue (p. 267) 1. Connective Tissue Components: Page 1 of 5 Biology 218_Lecture Outline_10 Muscles 1 Biology 218 – Human Anatomy RIDDELL i. Fascia is a sheet or broad band of fibrous connective tissue beneath the skin (superficial fascia) or around muscles or organs (deep fascia). ii. Three layers of connective tissue extend from the deep fascia: a. outer epimysium encircles the whole muscle b. perimysium surrounds fascicles (bundles of muscle fibers) c. endomysium surrounds individual muscle fibers iii. Extensions of these three layers are continuous with: a. tendon, a cord of dense connective tissue that attaches a muscle to the periosteum of a bone; some tendons are enclosed in tendon (synovial) sheaths which permit tendons to slide back and forth more easily b. aponeurosis, a broad, flat sheet of connective tissue that attaches a muscle to the periosteum of a bone, another muscle, or the skin 2. Microscopic Anatomy: (p. 267) i. Growth of a skeletal muscle is achieved primarily by hypertrophy because skeletal muscle fibers do not significantly increase in number after birth; skeletal muscle tissue does have limited powers of regeneration due to the presence of satellite cells which can fuse with or replace existing skeletal muscle fibers to a limited extent - if significant skeletal muscle damage or degeneration occurs, skeletal muscle tissue undergoes fibrosis, the replacement of muscle fiber by fibrous scar tissue ii. Each muscle fiber has a sarcolemma (plasma membrane) that surrounds the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm); the latter contains an oxygen-binding protein called myoglobin iii. The sarcoplasm contains numerous myofibrils; a. The myofibrils contain numerous parallel (protein) myofilaments called thin filaments and thick filaments that are arranged in functional units called sarcomeres b. Adjacent sarcomeres are separated by Z discs (lines) and have regions called the A band, I band, H zone, and M line and a zone of overlap. c. Thick filaments consist of myosin molecules with heads or crossbridges. d. Thin filaments consist of actin molecules plus two regulatory proteins called troponin and tropomyosin. e. Sarcomeres also contain structural proteins (e.g., titin and dystrophin) which keep the thick and thin filaments properly aligned, give the myofibril elasticity and extensibility and link the myofibrils to the sarcolemma and extracellular matrix. iv. The sarcoplasm contains the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) with dilated end sacs called terminal cisterns which store calcium ions; release of calcium ions into the cytosol triggers muscle contraction. v. The sarcolemma has tunnel-like infoldings called transverse tubules (T tubules) that penetrate into the muscle fiber at right angles to the myofilaments; these T tubules conduct muscle action potentials which cause the release of calcium ions from the SR. Page 2 of 5 Biology 218_Lecture Outline_10 Muscles 1 Biology 218 – Human Anatomy RIDDELL 3. Nerve and Blood Supply: (p. 273) i. Motor neurons send impulses down their axons to stimulate muscle fibers to contract. ii. The junction or synapse between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber is called a neuromuscular junction (NMJ). iii. When a nerve impulse (action potential) arrives at this junction, the synaptic vesicles in synaptic end bulbs release acetylcholine (neurotransmitter molecules) which diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to acetylcholine receptor molecules on the motor end plate; this triggers a muscle action potential that travels along the sarcolemma and ultimately initiates contraction of the muscle fiber. iv. A motor unit consists of a motor neuron plus all the muscle fibers that it innervates; all fibers in a motor unit therefore contract and relax simultaneously a. the average motor unit contains 150 muscle fibers but there is a wide range that extends from 2–3 muscle fibers per motor unit to 2000-3000 muscle fibers per motor unit b. small motor units provide precise control of movement while large motor units provide greater strength of contraction v. Blood vessels called capillaries deliver nutrients and oxygen to muscle fibers and carry wastes and heat away from muscle fibers. 4. Contraction and Relaxation of Skeletal Muscle Fibers: (p. 274) i. Muscle contraction is triggered when a muscle action potential is propagated along the sarcolemma through the T tubule system and to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, where it causes the release of calcium ions from the SR into the cytosol ii. Muscle contraction occurs via the sliding filament mechanism: - in the presence of ATP and calcium ions, myosin cross bridges pull thin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere, resulting in a shortening of the sarcomere iii. The effect of acetylcholine is brief because it is rapidly broken down by acetylcholinesterase located in the synaptic cleft. 5. Muscle tone is a sustained, partial state of contraction that gives firmness to a relaxed skeletal muscle; in a constantly shifting pattern, a few motor units become active while others become inactive within a skeletal muscle. This is essential for maintaining posture. D. Types of Skeletal Muscle Fibers (p. 276) 1. Skeletal muscle fibers are not all identical in structure or function: i. Muscle fibers that have a high content of myoglobin, a red oxygen-storing protein (as well as more mitochondria and a rich blood supply), are called red muscle fibers. ii. Muscle fibers that have a low content of myoglobin are called white muscle fibers. iii. Based on structural and functional characteristics, skeletal muscle fibers are classified into three types (see Table 10.1): a. slow oxidative (SO) fibers b. fast oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) fibers c. fast glycolytic (FG) fibers iv. Most skeletal muscles contain a mixture of all three types of skeletal muscle fibers, but their proportion varies depending on the usual action of Page 3 of 5 Biology 218_Lecture Outline_10 Muscles 1 Biology 218 – Human Anatomy RIDDELL the muscle; however, the muscle fibers in any one motor unit are all of the same type. 2. The total number of skeletal muscle fibers and the relative percentages of fast and slow fibers in each muscle do not change significantly after birth, but the characteristics of the muscle fibers present may be somewhat altered in various ways by various types of exercise (see p. 277). E. Cardiac Muscle Tissue (p. 278) 1. Cardiac muscle tissue is located in the wall of the heart. 2. The cells have the following important characteristics: i. are striated ii. are involuntary iii. some cells have autorhythmicity iv. are branching cylinders that usually contain a single nucleus v. compared to skeletal muscle fibers, the sarcoplasm: a. is more abundant b. has larger and more numerous mitochondria c. has a less elaborate sarcoplasmic reticulum d. is penetrated by fewer but wider transverse tubules vi. neighboring fibers are connected by intercalated discs that contain: a. desmosomes, which strongly hold the fibers together b. gap junctions, which allow muscle action potentials to spread from one fiber to another fiber 3. Under normal resting conditions, cardiac muscle tissue rhythmically contracts and relaxes about 75 times per minute; this rhythm may be increased or decreased by nerve or hormonal stimulation. 4. Cardiac muscle tissue has characteristics that permit significant increases in heart rate but prevent the heart from undergoing tetanus. 5. Damaged cardiac muscle fibers are not repaired or replaced, and healing occurs by fibrosis; but they can undergo hypertrophy in response to increased workload. F. Smooth Muscle Tissue (p. 278) 1. Smooth muscle tissue is usually activated involuntarily. 2. There are two types of smooth muscle tissue: i. visceral (single-unit) smooth muscle tissue is the more common type a. located in the walls of small blood vessels and hollow viscera b. it is autorhythmic; due to presence of gap junctions, entire muscle contracts as a single unit when one fiber is stimulated by neurotransmitter, hormone or autorhythmic signal ii. multiunit smooth muscle tissue a. located in the walls of large arteries, bronchioles, arrector pili muscles, irises of the eyes, and ciliary muscles of the eyes b. each fiber contracts individually upon stimulation 3. The cells have the following important characteristics: i.

SUMMARY Post-mortem specimens taken from the antebrachial and brachial fasciae of 20 upper limbs were studied by histological and immunohistochemical staining in order to evaluate collagen fibre bundle arrangement, the presence of elastic fibres, and the density of innervation in deep muscular fascia. The study demonstrated that the fasciae are formed of numerous layers of undulating colla- gen fibre bundles. In each layer, the bundles are parallel to each other, whereas adjacent layers show different orientations. Each layer is separated from the adjacent one by a thin layer of adipose tissue, like plywood. Many elastic fibres and a variety of both free and encapsulated nerve endings, espe- cially Ruffini and Pacini corpuscles, are also present, suggesting a proprioceptive capacity of the deep fascia. Thanks to the undulating collagen fibre bundles and elastic fibres, the fasciae can adapt to stretching, but this is only possible within certain limits, beyond which nerve terminations are acti- vated by stretching.

  • Evidence of a New Hidden Neural Network Into Deep Fasciae
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Evidence of a new hidden neural network into deep fasciae Caterina Fede1,2*, Lucia Petrelli1,2, Diego Guidolin1, Andrea Porzionato1, Carmelo Pirri1, Chenglei Fan1, Rafaele De Caro1 & Carla Stecco1 It is recognized that diferent fasciae have diferent type of innervation, but actually nothing is known about the specifc innervation of the two types of deep fascia, aponeurotic and epymisial fascia. In this work the aponeurotic thoracolumbar fascia and the epymisial gluteal fascia of seven adult C57-BL mice were analysed by Transmission Electron Microscopy and foating immunohistochemistry with the aim to study the organization of nerve fbers, the presence of nerve corpuscles and the amount of autonomic innervation. The antibodies used were Anti-S100, Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase and Anti- PGP, specifc for the Schwann cells forming myelin, the sympathetic nerve fbers, and the peripheral nerve fbers, respectively. The results showed that the fascial tissue is pervaded by a rhomboid and dense network of nerves. The innervation was statistically signifcantly lower in the gluteal fascia (2.78 ± 0.6% of positive area, 140.3 ± 31.6/mm2 branching points, nerves with 3.2 ± 0.6 mm length and 4.9 ± 0.2 µm thickness) with respect to the thoracolumbar fascia (9.01 ± 0.98% of innervated area, 500.9 ± 43.1 branching points/mm2, length of 87.1 ± 1.0 mm, thickness of 5.8 ± 0.2 µm). Both fasciae revealed the same density of autonomic nerve fbers (0.08%). Lastly, corpuscles were not found in thoracolumbar fascia. Based on these results, it is suggested that the two fasciae have diferent roles in proprioception and pain perception: the free nerve endings inside thoracolumbar fascia may function as proprioceptors, regulating the tensions coming from associated muscles and having a role in nonspecifc low back pain, whereas the epymisial fasciae works to coordinate the actions of the various motor units of the underlying muscle.

  • Tendon Fascia Continuity, the Glenoid Labrum: an Adaptable Dynamic Ring
    Tendon fascia continuity, the glenoid labrum: An adaptable dynamic ring Karl Jacobs - University of applied science Amsterdam / University of Amsterdam Introduction/Background Traditionally the glenoid labrum, the tendon of the long head of biceps and triceps have all been discussed as independent anatomical structures in their own right. Traditional literature has approached these structures as being unique entities (1), which inadequately explains the functional stability of the shoulder and is at odds with findings on dissection. This research aims to explain the functional anatomy of the shoulder joint by demonstrating that the glenoid labrum and the tendons of the long heads of the biceps and triceps is a continuous fascial structure. The results provide new insights in explaining the stabilising abilities of the shoulder joint as a consequence of tendon fascia continuity. Methods Dissection was performed, respecting fascia continuity, on a formalin-fixed female cadaver, with no known medical history. The glenoid labrum has a vital role in shoulder joint stability; this region was dissected to establish whether the “labrum” acts as a single structure or as a continuum, formed by the tendons of the long heads of the biceps and triceps. Results A continuation of tendon fascia was identified, starting from the tendon of the long head of the Biceps through the glenoid labrum and towards the tendon of the long head of the triceps. This continuity is a result of the continuation of the fascicular investing muscular fascia (endo, peri, epi, -mysium) with its tendon (endo, peri, para -tendon) fascia. This continuity, instead of continuing within adjacent muscle or bone, continues within the glenoid labrum creating a dynamic ring.

  • Lecture 3,4 Human Anatomy نﺎﻨﺴو دﻤﺤﻤ.د Basic Structures: Part1
    د.ﻤﺤﻤد وﺴﻨﺎن L ectur e 3,4 Human Anatomy Basic Structures: part1 Skin The skin is divided into two parts: the superficial part, the epidermis; and the deep part, the dermis. The epidermis is a stratified epithelium. On the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, the epidermis is extremely thick, to withstand the wear and tear that occurs in these regions. The dermis is composed of dense connective tissue containing many blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. The dermis of the skin is connected to the underlying deep fascia or bones by the superficial fascia, otherwise known as subcutaneous tissue. The appendages of the skin are the nails, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. 1 Fasciae The fasciae of the body can be divided into two types— superficial and deep— and lie between the skin and the underlying muscles and bones. The superficial fascia, or subcutaneous tissue, is a mixture of loose areolar and adipose tissue that unites the dermis of the skin to the underlying deep fascia. The deep fascia is a membranous layer of connective tissue that invests the muscles and other deep structures. In the neck, it forms well-defined layers and in the thorax and abdomen, it is merely a thin film of areolar tissue covering the muscles and aponeuroses. Muscle The three types of muscle are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscles produce the movements of the skeleton; they are sometimes called voluntary muscles and are made up of striped muscle fibers. A skeletal muscle has two or more attachments.
