…each myofiber is lots of sarcomeres end to end…

…myofiber gets shorter……muscle gets shorter

As muscle gets shorter……it generates tension (pulls)

How long will muscle contract ?

continued stimulus at nmj+ free Ca2+ in sarcoplasm+ ATP to energize myosin…

…muscle will keep contracting

As long as:

If stimulus disappears:

ACh broken down by AChE

sarcolemma returns to RP

Ca2+ is reabsorbed by SR

active sites covered by troponin

What happens to the musclewhen contraction stops ?

muscle cannot lengthen on its own

muscles are “paired”

agonist muscle that does action

antagonist has opposite action(stretches agonist)

Muscle cannot lengthen on its own…

…it has to be stretched.

Tension production

by myofibersby muscles

Tension production

by myofibers:

Amount of tension produceddepends on number of“power strokes” happening

Cannot vary the amount of tension produced by a myofiber by varying number of sacromeres being used.

Tension production

by myofibers:

A single myofiber is either

stimulated “on”

or

relaxed (off)

Tension production

by myofibers:

“tension production at the level of the individual cell does vary”

Tension production

by myofibers:

Tension production

by myofibers:

resting length vs. tension in myofibers

Amount of tension produceddepends on number ofpower strokes happening

the number of cross-bridges forming will depend on the degree of overlap between the thin and thick filaments(zone of overlap)

only those myosin molecules that can form cross-bridges will produce tension

an aside…

Don’t play around rusty nails !

Don’t run around barefoot outside!

Have you had your tetanus shot ?

What is tetanus ?

Tetanus

prolonged contraction of muscle

Why rusty nails ?

puncture wound

closes very quicklyvery little bleeding

Clostridium tetani

live is soil(low O2 levels)

If it gets into the body:

dividerelease tetanospasmin

(powerful neurotoxin)

carried to CNS byretrograde transport

disables GABA-releasingneurons (inhibitory nt)

overstimulation of motorneurons

If it gets into the body:

overstimulation of motorneurons

sustained, powerful contraction of skeletal muscle throughout body

Tension production

myofiber lengthstimulation rate

Tension production

by muscles

tension from myofibers# myofibers stimulated

“The amount of tension produced by a muscle as a whole is the sum of the tensions generated by the individual muscle fibers,” (pg 304)

Tension production

•each muscle - 1000’s of fibers

•muscle fibers - controlled by neurons•motorneurons - control many myofibers

all the fibers controlledby a single neuron…

…motor unit

size of motor unit…

…indication of how precisely

the muscle is controlled

(how many myofibers/unit)

for example

eye muscles

leg muscles

4-6 fibers/unit

1000-2000

within the muscle

myofibers are intermingled

fig. 10-17

think… …move muscle

activate smallest motor units

activate larger motor units…

keep thinking… …move muscle

smooth, steady increase in tension

smooth, steady increase in tension

recruitment

peak tension is produced when all motor units are in complete tetany

(can’t do it for long)

in sustained contractions:

(can’t do it at max. tension)

rotate which motor units are being activated

asynchronous motor unit summation

fig. 10-17

Key (pg 305)

“All voluntary muscle contractions and intentional movements involve sustained contractions of skeletal muscle fibers. The force exerted can be increased by increasing the frequency or motor neuron action potentials or the number of stimulated motor units (recruitment).”

muscle tone

resting muscle…

…always has some fibers contracting

don’t produce enough tension to cause movement, but they tense and firm the muscle

muscle tone

•holds bones in place•keeps body balanced(position)•prevent sudden movements•shock absorption•a muscle with good tone will

burn more Calories than one with poor muscle tone

contractions

isotonicisometric

contractions

isotonic (equal tension)

rise in tension leads to change in the muscle length

fig. 10-18

isotonic contractions

concentric

eccentric

muscle shortens(overcomes resistance)

muscle lengthens(control)

contractions

isometric (equal measure)

•muscle length does not change

•doesn’t produce enough tension

to overcome resistance

fig. 10-18

isometric

isometric contractions

although whole muscle does not shorten…

individual fibers do

isometric contractions

when would it be used?

…hold head up…carrying books…maintaining posture

Resistance and speed of contraction

lighter resistance…

…faster speed of contraction

inversely related

heavier resistance…

…slower speed of contraction

Energy use and Muscle activity

single myofiber:

may have 15 billion thick filaments

each thick filament:

uses 2500 ATP molecules/sec

~ bazillion


muscle need lots of ATP

but ATP is for short-term storage

(as muscle uses ATP it makes ADP)


CPK (or CK)

creatine phosphokinase

if muscle is damaged, CKleaks out of the cell into the blood ( high [CK] = muscle damage)


Aerobic metabolism(living with oxygen)

Most ATP demands (at rest) are met through TCA and ETS

organic molecules from cytoplasm

TCA

ETS ATP

O2

CO2

ß oxidation

of fatty acids


during contraction

swtiches to pyruvate as entry point into TCA

Where does pyruvate come from?

glycolysis


during contraction

What do we need to do glycolysis?

glucose

What does glucose come from?

glycogen in myofibers


at rest

low demand for ATPuse fatty acids for C sourcelots of O2 availableextra ATP --->CPglycogen is stored

fig. 10-20

at rest


moderate activity

higher demand for ATPif enough of O2 availablemitochondria can supply ATPvia cellular respiration

fig. 10-20


high activity

enormous demand for ATPno enough O2 delivered

(ETS will not work fast enough)cells use ATP from glycolysismake pyruvateconverted to lactic acid

pH


muscle fatigue

when the muscle can no longer perform at the required level


muscle fatigue

•depletion of energy reserves•damage to cell membrane, etc•decline in pH of myofibers

(decrease Ca2+ binding)


normal muscle function needs:

•intracellular energy reserves•normal blood supply•normal O2 levels•normal blood pH

interfere with any one of them…

…premature muscle fatigue


recovery period:

time needed for muscle to return to pre-exertion conditions

Muscle strains(pulls, tears)

sprain

strain

injury to a ligament

injury to a muscle to tendon

There are two basic causes of cramping. One is inadequate oxygenation of muscle,

and the other is lack of water or salt.

Electrolyte disturbance may cause cramping and tetany of muscles,

particularly hypokalemia (a low level of potassium) and hypocalcemia (a low level

of calcium).
