Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary Systems Section 3

Bellringer

Alternately bend and stretch your legs while feeling the


muscles in the front and the back.
What do you feel when the leg is straightened and what
you feel when the leg is bent?
Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary Systems Section 3

Key Ideas
• What types of muscles are in the body?
• How do muscle pairs work?
• What are skeletal muscles made of?
• How do muscles contract?
• How do muscles produce energy for movement?
• What diseases or conditions affect muscles?
Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary Systems Section 3

Three Types of Muscle Tissues (p. 848)


1. Skeletal-- designed to pull on bones
• Voluntary -- you can control; learned actions
• Attached to bones
• “Striated” -- long fibers with perpendicular stripes

Types of Muscles, continued


2. Smooth muscle
• Surrounds hollow organs (blood
vessels, digestive organs)
• Involuntary

3. Cardiac muscle -- in heart only


• Involuntary muscle
• “Self-contracting”
-- no nerve signal needed
Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary Systems Section 3

Movement and Muscle (p. 849)


• Tendons attach muscles to two bones.
– “Origin” -- connects to bone that doesn’t
move
– “Insertion” -- connects to bone that moves QuickTimeª and a

• Muscles work in pairs


– Work oppositely (one contracts while the
other relaxes)
– Flexor muscles cause a joint to bend.
– Extensor muscles causes a joint to
straighten.

• Warning! Flexors can extend, and


Extensors can flex
Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary Systems Section 3

Muscle Pairs
• Where is the origin?
• Where is the insertion?
• Which is the flexor
muscle?
• Which is the extensor
muscle?
Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary Systems Section 3

Structure of Muscles
• Muscle cells are called muscle
fibers.

• A group of parallel muscle


fibers is called a bundle.

• A group of bundles makes up


a muscle.
fibers  bundles  muscles
Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary Systems Section 3

Structure of Muscles, cont.


• Muscle cells are made of
myofibrils.

• Myofibrils are made of


sarcomeres linked end-to-
end.

• Sarcomeres make muscles


looked striped.

• Sarcomeres contain myosin


and actin proteins.

Muscle Contraction
Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary Systems Section 3

Steps of Muscle Contraction


1. Nerve signal reaches relaxed muscle fiber

3. Sarcomeres absorb calcium

5. Myosin and actin pull on each other 


sarcomere shortens  whole muscle contracts

7. ATP supplies energy for fiber to keep pulling
