Primary Function
of the Muscular System



Locomotion
movement of substances through the body
structure and support for organs and tissues
Muscle Tissue: 3 Types

Muscle Tissue enables the movement of
body structures. Smooth, Cardiac, Skeletal
Muscle Types: Smooth Muscle

Smooth muscle is
non-striated, and
acts in a number of
involuntary processes
in the body. Some of
these processes
include:
Muscle Types: Smooth Muscle



allows the expansion and contraction of arteries
and veins
lines the bladder and reproductive tracts
lines the entire gastrointestinal tract
Did you know?...

Tiny smooth muscle fibers in the skin
called Arrector pili are responsible for
“goose bumps.”
Muscle Types: Cardiac Muscle

Cardiac muscle
(heart muscle) is
striated but functions
involuntarily. It is
solely responsible for
propelling blood
throughout the body.
Muscle Types: Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal muscle is striated, and
associated with voluntary movement. It
also provides structure and support for
organs and tissues.

How Do Muscles Work?



Individual muscle fibers are
composed of small cylindrical
structures called myofibrils.
The functional component
within the myofibril is called
the sarcomere.
Within the sacromere,
protein filaments called actin
and myosin allow the cell to
expand and contract in a
3 step process:
3 Steps



1) Before the muscle is stimulated, actin and myosin
filaments partially overlap one another.
2) A nerve cell releases a signal which causes the actin
and myosin filaments to “slide” along one another and
overlap even more.
3) This contracts the myofibril and subsequently the
entire muscle cell. When the nervous signal changes, the
filaments relax and return to their original state.

BODY COMPOSITION
The Muscular System:
Key Components

Muscles move body parts because they’re
attached to bones by strips of dense
connective tissue called tendons.
Skeletal Muscle: Key Concepts

The place where muscle attaches to a stationary
bone is called the “origin.” The place where the
same muscle attaches and “pulls” is called the
“insertion.”

Insertion
Skeletal Muscle: Key Concepts

Skeletal muscle can
be characterized as
either “extensors”
(causing a joint to
straighten or
extend), or a
“flexor” (causing a
joint to bend or flex).
Challenge question

How are
tendons
different from
ligaments?

Can you think of different ways in which
the muscular system works with other
body systems to maintain homeostasis?
Aerobic vs.
Anaerobic Exercise

Muscle contraction requires ATP. When oxygen
is present in sufficient amounts, the normal
processes of glycolysis and cellular
respiration can take place (aerobic).
However, if oxygen is not present in large
enough quantities to sustain vigorous muscle
contraction, only a small amount of ATP is
generated through glycolysis; and lactic acid
forms in the absence of cellular respiration
(anaerobic).
