Organization of connective tissues
• Epimysium surrounds muscle
• Perimysium sheathes bundles of muscle fibers
• Epimysium and perimysium contain blood
vessels and nerves
• Endomysium covers individual muscle fibers
• Tendons or aponeuroses attach muscle to bone or
muscle

Thin filaments
• F-actin
• Nebulin
• Tropomyosin
• Covers active sites on G-actin
• Troponin
• Binds to G-actin and holds tropomyosin in
place
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Thick filaments
• Bundles of myosin fibers around titan core
• Myosin molecules have elongate tail, globular
head
• Heads form cross-bridges during contraction
• Interactions between G-actin and myosin
prevented by tropomyosin during rest

Sliding filament theory
• Explains the relationship between thick and thin
filaments as contraction proceeds
• Cyclic process beginning with calcium release
from SR
• Calcium binds to troponin
• Trponin moves, moving tropomyosin and
exposing actin active site
• Myosin head forms cross bridge and bends
toward H zone
• ATP allows release of cross bridge

Tension Production
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Tension production by muscle fibers
• All or none principle
• Amount of tension depends on number of cross
bridges formed
• Skeletal muscle contracts most forcefully over a
narrow ranges of resting lengths

Tension

• Twitch
• Cycle of contraction, relaxation produced by a
single stimulus
• Treppe
• Repeated stimulation after relaxation phase has
been completed
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Summation
• Repeated stimulation before relaxation phase has
been completed
• Wave summation = one twitch is added to another
• Incomplete tetanus = muscle never relaxes
completely
• Complete tetanus = relaxation phase is eleminated

Contractions
• Isometric
• Tension rises, length of muscle remains constant
• Isotonic
• Tension rises, length of muscle changes
• Resistance and speed of contraction inversely
related
• Return to resting lengths due to elastic
components, contraction of opposing muscle
groups, gravity

Energy Use and Muscle Contraction
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Muscle Contraction requires large amounts of
energy
• Creatine phosphate releases stored energy to
convert ADP to ATP
• Aerobic metabolism provides most ATP needed
for contraction
• At peak activity, anaerobic glycolysis needed to
generate ATP

Energy use and level of muscular activity
• Energy production and use patterns mirror
muscle activity
• Fatigued muscle no longer contracts
• Build up of lactic acid
• Exhaustion of energy resources
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Recovery period
• Begins immediately after activity ends
• Oxygen debt (excess post-exercise oxygen
consumption)
• Amount of oxygen required during resting
period to restore muscle to normal conditions

Muscle Performance
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Types of skeletal muscle fibers
• Fast fibers
• Slow fibers
• Intermediate fibers
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Figure 10.21 Fast versus Slow Fibers
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Figure 10.21
Fast fibers
• Large in diameter
• Contain densely packed myofibrils
• Large glycogen reserves
• Relatively few mitochondria
• Produce rapid, powerful contractions of short
duration
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slow fibers
• Half the diameter of fast fibers
• Take three times as long to contract after
stimulation
• Abundant mitochondria
• Extensive capillary supply
• High concentrations of myoglobin
• Can contract for long periods of time
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Intermediate fibers
• Similar to fast fibers
• Greater resistance to fatigue
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Muscle performance and the distribution of
muscle fibers
• Pale muscles dominated by fast fibers are called
white muscles
• Dark muscles dominated by slow fibers and
myoglobin are called red muscles
• Training can lead to hypertrophy of stimulated
muscle
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Physical conditioning
• Anaerobic endurance
• Time over which muscular contractions are
sustained by glycolysis and ATP/CP reserves
• Aerobic endurance
• Time over which muscle can continue to
contract while supported by mitochondrial
activities

Functional characteristics of smooth muscle
• Contract when calcium ions interact with
calmodulin

innervated by motor neurons

under voluntary control
