Formation:
› Initially consists of collagenous protein fibers

secreted by osteoblasts
› During embryonic development, cartilage is
deposited between fibers
› During the eighth week of embryonic
development, ossification begins
 Mineral matter starts to replace previously formed
cartilage, creating bone

Origin: part of a skeletal muscle that is
attached to a fixed structure or bone; moves
the least
 Insertion: attached to a movable part; moves
the most
 Belly: central body of the muscle

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011
Delmar,

28

28

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

Muscles should always be slightly contracted
and ready to pull (muscle tone)
 Muscle atrophy:


› Wasting or loss of muscle tissue resulting from

disease or lack of use


Hypertrophy:
› Increase in the mass (size) of a muscle

Sprain:
› Caused by sudden twist, or a blow to the body;

ligaments
› 3 grades:
 Grade I: mild; overstretching of ligament
 Grade II: moderate; partial tearing
 Grade III: sever; complete tear

• Symptoms: pain, swelling, bruising, and loss of

ability to move
• Treatment is similar to care for a strain

Nerve tissue consists of:
› Neuroglia
 Insulate, support, and protect neurons  “nerve
glue”
› Neurons
 Sensory: carries impulses from sensory to CNS
 Motor: carries messages from brain to muscles
 Associative: carries impulses from sensory to
motor

Nerves are fragile and can be damaged by
pressure, stretching, or cutting
› Injury to a nerve can stop signals to and from the

brain
 Causes muscles to become unresponsive and a
loss of feeling in the injured area

› Treatment: surgery

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

Muscles should always be slightly contracted
and ready to pull (muscle tone)
 Muscle atrophy:


› Wasting or loss of muscle tissue resulting from

disease or lack of use

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

©©2011

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011
Delmar,

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

Formation:
› Initially consists of collagenous protein fibers

secreted by osteoblasts
› During embryonic development, cartilage is
deposited between fibers
› During the eighth week of embryonic
development, ossification begins
 Mineral matter starts to replace previously formed
cartilage, creating bone

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

Origin: part of a skeletal muscle that is
attached to a fixed structure or bone; moves
the least
 Insertion: attached to a movable part; moves
the most
 Belly: central body of the muscle
 Prime mover (or agonist): movement in a
single direction


› Antagonist: movement in the opposite direction

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

Formation:
› Initially consists of collagenous protein fibers

secreted by osteoblasts
› During embryonic development, cartilage is
deposited between fibers
› During the eighth week of embryonic
development, ossification begins
 Mineral matter starts to replace previously formed
cartilage, creating bone

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

Muscles should always be slightly contracted
and ready to pull (muscle tone)
 Muscle atrophy:


› Wasting or loss of muscle tissue resulting from

disease or lack of use


Hypertrophy:
› Increase in the mass (size) of a muscle

Sprain:
› Caused by sudden twist, or a blow to the body;

ligaments
› 3 grades:
 Grade I: mild; overstretching of ligament
 Grade II: moderate; partial tearing
 Grade III: sever; complete tear

• Symptoms: pain, swelling, bruising, and loss of

ability to move
• Treatment is similar to care for a strain

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

©©2011

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011
Delmar,

28

28

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011
Delmar,

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)

Formation:
› Initially consists of collagenous protein fibers

secreted by osteoblasts
› During embryonic development, cartilage is
deposited between fibers
› During the eighth week of embryonic
development, ossification begins
 Mineral matter starts to replace previously formed
cartilage, creating bone

When muscles work, they move the body
and produce heat
 For muscles to contract and work, they need
energy


› Major source of energy is adenosine

triphosphate (ATP)
 Cell requires oxygen, glucose, and other materials

› When a muscle is stimulated, ATP is broken

down, producing energy

Muscle movement occurs as a result of:
› Myoneural stimulation
› Contraction of muscle proteins



Skeletal muscles must be stimulated by
nerve impulses to contract
› Begins with action potential, which travels along

muscle fiber length
› Basic source of energy is glucose

©©2011

Caused by accumulation of lactic acid in
muscles
 During vigorous exercise, blood is unable to
transport enough oxygen for complete
oxidation of glucose in the muscles


› Causes muscles to contract anaerobically

(without oxygen)
