1
Types of Muscle Tissue
skeletal
 cardiac
 smooth

Suzanne D'Anna
2
Skeletal
attached to bones, skin, deep fascia, or
other muscles
 voluntary control
 striated , alternating light and dark bands
along length of myofibrils
 many nuclei
 Functions:
- movement - posture - respiration


Skeletal Muscle
Nuclei
Striation
Suzanne D'Anna
4
Cardiac
located only in the heart
 striated, single nucleus, branched fibers
with intercalated discs
 involuntary control by autonomic nervous
system
 regulation of heart rate is primarily due to
hormones and neurotransmitters
 no regeneration capability
 propels blood through blood vessels


Cardiac Muscle
intercalated
disc

6
Smooth
located in hollow organs, skin attached to
hair follicles, etc.
 no striations, single nucleus, spindleshaped fibers
 involuntary control by autonomic nervous
system
 some regeneration


7
Functions of Smooth Muscles
mix and propel food though GI tract
 regulate flow of blood by changing diameter
of lumen
 contraction of urinary bladder, gallbladder,
and spleen, expels urine, bile and blood
 control sphincter muscles
 control muscles of eye
 contraction of arrector pili muscles


Types of Smooth Muscles
Suzanne D'Anna
9
Multiunit Smooth
muscle fibers are not well organized
 occur as separate fibers rather than
sheets
 found in irises of eye, walls of blood
vessels

Suzanne D'Anna
10
Visceral Smooth
composed of sheets of spindle-shaped
cells
 in contact with one another
 more common type
 found in hollow visceral organs
 capable of stimulating each other
 display rhythmicity due to self-exciting
fibers - responsible for peristalsis

Suzanne D'Anna
11
Peristalsis
wavelike motion
 occurs in various tubular organs
 helps force contents of these organs
along their lengths

Suzanne D'Anna
12
Contraction of Smooth
Muscles
acetylcholine and norepinephrine
 also affected by hormones
 slower to contract - slower to relax
 can maintain a forceful contraction
longer than skeletal with same amount
of ATP
 can change length without changing
tautness


Smooth Muscle

14
Muscle Fibers
many muscle fibers are enclosed in a
delicate connective tissue sheath called
endomysium
 several sheathed fibers are wrapped in
perimysium in bundles called fascicles
(10 -100 fibers)

Suzanne D'Anna
15
Muscle Fibers
(cont.)
many fascicles are joined together by
even tougher covering called epimysium
 fascia covers entire muscles which lead
into tendons which attach to bones


16
Individual Muscle Fiber
(single cell)
sarcolemma
- plasma membrane covering of muscle
cell
 sarcoplasm
- cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle cell

Suzanne D'Anna
17
Individual Muscle Fiber

(cont.)
sarcoplasmic reticulum
- network of membranous channels
- within sarcoplasm (corresponds to
endoplasmic reticulum)
- surrounds each myofibril
- channels run parallel to myofibril
- stores calcium which is necessary for
muscle contraction
Suzanne D'Anna
18
Individual Muscle Fiber (cont.)

transverse tubules
- fingerlike inward invaginations or
channels of sarcolemma
- extend from membrane and pass
through the fiber
- open to outside of the muscle fiber
- contain extracellular fluid
- carry action potentials to sarcoplasmic
reticulum
Suzanne D'Anna
19
Individual Muscle Fiber

(cont.)
cisternae
- enlarged portions of sarcoplasmic
reticulum
- lie on either side of transverse tubules
- near region where actin and myosin
overlap
Suzanne D'Anna
20
Individual Muscle Fiber
(cont.)
myofibrils
- long ribbon-like organelles
- lie parallel to one another
 myofilaments
- thread-like structures within myofibrils
(contain two types of protein filaments)
 actin (thin & light) and myocin (thick &
dark)

Suzanne D'Anna
21
Actin and Myosin
appear as light (thin) and dark (thick)
bands
 arrangement of these fibers produces
the characteristic striations of a skeletal
muscle fiber
 slide past each other causing muscle
cells to contract

Suzanne D'Anna
22
Myosin

located within the dark portions of the
striations (A bands)
Suzanne D'Anna
23
Actin
located primarily within light areas (I bands)
 during muscle contraction actin filaments
slide farther into A bands
 attached to the Z lines at end of I bands
 Z lines extend across muscle fiber enabling
adjacent myofibrils to lie side by side
 segment between two Z lines is called a
sarcomere

Suzanne D'Anna
24
Sarcomeres
repeating units composed of filaments
inside myofibrils
 do not extend the entire length of the
muscle fiber


Muscle Activity
Suzanne D'Anna
26
Characteristics of Muscle
Tissue
excitability
 contractility
 extensibility
 elasticity

Suzanne D'Anna
27
Excitability
(irritability)
ability to respond to stimuli
 generate action potentials or impulses
 stimuli that initiate action potentials in
muscles are neurotransmitters
 neurotransmitters are released by axon
terminals of neurons

Suzanne D'Anna
28
Contractility
ability to contract and shorten to
generate a force
 muscles contract in response to action
potentials

Suzanne D'Anna
29
Extensibility
ability to be stretched or extended when
pulled
 with pairs of skeletal muscles - one
muscle is contracted while the opposing
one is usually stretched

Suzanne D'Anna
30
Elasticity

ability to return to original shape after
contraction or extension
