MUSCULAR SYSTEM
36% Body Weight 42%Body Weight
Chemical composition of muscle tissue
- 60-70% Water
- 20% Protein
(actin,myosin)
- 5% Carbohydrate, Lipid,
non-protin nitrogenous compounds
Properties of muscle tissue
1. Contractility
2. Extensibility
3. Elasticity
4. Excitability
5. Tonus
 MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY
TYPES OF MUSCLE
1. Skeletal m. (Voluntary m.)
2. Cardiac m. (Involuntary m.)

3. Smooth m. (Involuntary m or visceral)

Skeletal Muscle Fiber Types
 Fast Twitch Fibers
 Stain light in color
 More anaerobic
 Suited to strength and
speed activity
 Slow Twitch Fibers
 Stain dark
 More aerobic
 Suited to endurance
activity

Muscle Cell = M fiber

Myofibrils

Troponin: I, C, T
1. Skeletal muscle
Striatation is the result from light refraction to
muscle fibers

-A band (Anisotropic band) แถบสีทึบ

- I band (Isotropic band) แถบสีสว่าง
- H zone แถบสว่างในแถบทึบ
- Z line ตรงกลาง I band
SLIDING MECHANISM
 The muscle twitch
1.Latent period
Stimuli to contract (0.01S)
2.Contraction period
Contract continuous (0.04 S)
3.Relaxation period
Start relaxation (0.05 S)
MUSCLE TWITCH
 Types of muscle contraction
1.Isometric contraction
Change Tone, Stable Length
2.Isotonic contraction
Change Length, Stable Tone
3.Isokinetic contraction
Stable Velocity
MUSCLE CONTRACTION
Categorized by Length of m during
contraction
1. Concentric contraction
Shortening during contraction
2. Eccentric contraction
Lengthening during contraction
MUSCLE CONTRACTION
 2.Cardiac muscle
1. Look like Striated muscle
2. Its size is smaller than skeletal m.
3. Has Pacemaker cell
4. Has a lot of gap junctions or
INTERCALATED DISC
5. Low electrical resistance
3. Smooth muscle
- Slow contraction continous
- Automatic nerve
- Tone or Resting tension
