3 Types of Muscle Tissue Skeletal Muscle, Cardiac Muscle,
Smooth Muscle
Skeletal Muscle striated and under voluntary control
Smooth Muscle nonstriated and under involuntary
control
Cardiac Muscle striated and under involuntary control
Tendons attach muscle to bone
Ligaments attach bone to bone
Aponeurosis Broad, flat, sheet of connective tissue
that attaches muscles to a bone or
another muscle to soft tissue.
Fascia dense Irregular Connective: layers of
tough connective membranes that
surround muscle fibers, muscle
fascicles and the whole muscle
Muscle Fiber Muscle Cell
Sacrolemma incases muscle fibers in a cell
membrane

Myofibrils microscopic fibers, dense irregular
connective tissue inside a muscle cell
Endomysium Connective tissue surrounding a
muscle fiber
Fascicles Bundles of muscle fibers wrapped in
perimysium
Perimysium fibrous connective tissue that
surrounds groups of muscle fibers
called fascicles
Whole Muscles made is fascicles bound together by
fascia epimysium
Sarcomeres contractile units within myofibrils, the
smallest contractile unit of a muscle
Contractile Proteins Actin and myosin, protein components
of the sarcomere.
Troponin and Tropomyosin Contraction Inhibiting Proteins within
each sarcomere that are attached to
actin
Function of the Sarcoplasmic stores calcium (Ca+) until stimulated
Reticulum by a nerve fiber. When calcium is
released it travels down the Ttubules
and removes the inhibitory effect of
troponin and tropomyosin thus
allowing actin and myosin to interact
and cause contraction of the sacromere
Acetylcholine the neurotransmitter substance for
muscle contraction and is released at
neuromuscular junctions diffuses
across the synapses and binds to the
receptor sites on the sarcolemma.
motor units muscle fibers that are innervated by a
single nerve
various force of contraction sarcomeres within a single muscle
fiber contract at the some time,
different fibers within a muscle bundle
can contract at different times.

ATP produces energy for muscles
3 Sources of ATP Metabolism of Creatine Phosphate
Anaerobic Metabolism Aerobic
Metabolism
Metabolism of Creatine Phosphate form of ATP that offers short term
replacement system of energy
Anaerobic Metabolism a type of energy metabolism known as
GLYCOLYSIS; does not require oxygen
Aerobic Metabolism a type of energy metabolism known as
cellular respiration; requires oxygen
Myoglobin stores oxygen in muscle cells
Glycogen stored form of glucose in muscle cells
Proprioception the brains ability to know where our
muscles are and what they are doing,
without our having to consciously look
at.
Skeletal Muscles function in pairs
Prime Mover muscle that creates movements /
Agonist / Does most of the work.
Antagonist muscle Allows movement in opposite direction
from muscle
Origin where muscle attaches to a more
stationary bone
Insertion where muscle attaches to the more
movable bone.
synergists stabilize body parts and assist prime
movers, Helping Muscles
Frontalis muscles that raises eyebrows, wrinkles
forehead
Orbicularis Oculi muscles that closes eyelids,used in
blinking, winking, and squinting
lowers eyebrows

Major & Minor Zygomaticus muscles that raise corners of mouth
smile
Buccinator muscles that compresses cheeks
inward; whistling or kissing.
Masseter muscles that elevates mandible and
closes jaw Powerful
Platysma muscles that opens mouth lowers
mandible
Orbicularis Oris muscles that protrude the lips
whistling and kissing
Depressor Anguli Oris muscles that draws angles of mouth
downward and laterally when opening
mouth; used in frowning
Sternocleidomastoids head muscles that bilaterally is
primary muscle that causes flexion of
the head unilateral contract to cause
rotation of the head to the opposite
side.
Trapezius muscles that are the prime mover for
the extension of the head, also elevates
the scapula to raise the shoulders
Splenius Capitis and Splenius Cervicis muscles that bilaterally cause
hyperextension of the head, and
unilateral rotate the head to the same
side.
Pectoralis Major the large, broad muscle in the chest
that flexes and adducts the humerus
and rotates the humerus medially
Latissimus Dorsi the large, broad muscle in the middle
and lower back that extends and
adducts the humerus and rotates the
humerus medially
Deltoid a large triangular muscle covering the
shoulder joint and serving to abduct
and flex and extend and rotate the arm

Muscles of the rotator cuff "SITS" Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus,
Teres minor, Subscapularis
Brachialis and Biceps Brachii the primary muscles that cause flexion
or the forearm and elbow
Anterior Forearm muscles that flex the wrist
Posterior Forearm muscles that extend the wrist
Rectus Abdominis straight muscles of the abdomen that
flexes the trunk
Erector Spinae muscle that bilaterally extends the
trunk
Internal and External Obliques Muscles of the ribs, Involved in
Exhalation
Gluteal Muscles Gluteus maximus, medius, and
minimus, abduct the femur
Adductor Group Adductor Longus
Adductor Magnus
Pectineus
Gracilis
Adduct the Femur
Iliopsoas muscle that Flexes the Femur
Gluteus Maximus a forceful extensor of the femur
Tibialis Anterior muscle which is the primary used for
Dorsiflexion of foot at the ankle
Gastrocenemius & Soleus causes plantar flexion of the foot,
Plantar flexion of ankle
Tibialis Posterior prime mover of foot inversion
Fibularis Longus muscle primarily used for Eversion of
the foot
