Note the distinction with connective tissue cells, which construct extracellular fibers such as collagen. Muscle cells are also called ‘myocytes’, e.g., cardiomyocyte MUSCLE ACTIONS Muscle cells work together as ‘muscles’ (abs. etc) or layers of heart or tubes, for a purpose Visceral Somatic skeletal muscle rotation around joint* squeezing/ * constriction * how the force is applied lumen MUSCLE CONTRACTION: Requirements Force Generated Applied usefully Controlled Energized Sustained Varied for conditions MUSCLE CONTRACTION: Requirements GENERATED by interactions between actin & myosin Applied usefully connective tissues to tendons; visceral & cardiac muscle contract in a circle CONTROLLED voluntary & involuntary: nervous; & nervous + diffuse chemical control ENERGIZED blood supply; mitochondria ; ATP; glycogen - stored form of glucose SUSTAINED multiple muscle units; prolonged contraction (smooth muscle) VARIED FOR CONDITIONS sub-types of muscle The diverse requirements demand 3 three separate kinds of muscle MUSCLE CONTRACTION: Requirements GENERATED by interactions between actin & myosin ACTIN & MYOSIN FILAMENTS IN MUSCLE Z line/disc thin ACTIN filament thick MYOSIN filament In muscle, for strong shortening (contractile) force the actin filaments are stabilized and interdigitated with thicker myosin filaments, which pull them in deeper SKELETAL MYOFIBER IN LONGITUDINAL EM VIEW I band Z line/disc thin ACTIN filament A band I band H zone with M line thick MYOSIN filament Banding pattern - I & A bands, Z lines, H zones, M lines The regular arrangement of the filaments & their attachments yields a visible banding pattern across the fiber BANDING-PATTERN CHANGES IN CONTRACTION A band I band Z line 1 M line but no H zone I band myosin Sarcomere shortens 3 A band unchanged 2 I band shortens 4 H zone disappears actin SKELETAL MYOFIBER: Generating contraction Z line/disc thin ACTIN filament H zone with M line thick MYOSIN filament Tails of heavy (H) myosin bundle together to make the myosin filament ACTIN filament attached globular F actin molecules H & L myosin heads hinge step-wise along actin filament Actin-myosin interaction to generate myosin’s pull on actin filament Myosin head / Motor domain Parts of Motor domain Actin-binding site Regulatory domain interacts with tropomyosin under control of Ca 2+--switched troponin Thick filament - Rods of H myosin Catalytic domain Actin filament myosin rods held stationary 2 Actin filament ATP-catalysing site 1 Regulatory domain does the lever work, aided by the flexible start of the rod pulled MUSCLE CONTRACTION: Requirements Applied usefully connective tissues to tendons; SKELETAL MUSCLE striated/cross-banded myofiber sarcolemma capillary TENDON endomysium CT Myofiber in cross-section myofibrils SKELETAL MUSCLE: Connective Tissue Organization MYOCYTE PERIMYSIUM creates FASCICLE/ bundle endomysium EPIMYSIUM SKELETAL MUSCLE striated/cross-banded myofiber sarcolemma capillary TENDON endomysium CT Myofiber in cross-section myofibrils Myofiber in cross-section myofibrils Each myofibril consists of bundled myofilaments thick MYOSIN thin ACTIN But, at regular intervals along the relaxed fiber, only thin or only thick filaments are found.
