Muscular-Skeletal System
Physiological CharacteristicsIrritability (excitability): react to stimuli (electrical stimulation)
Chemical reaction creates muscle contraction
Contractility: increase tensionShorter and thicker
Extensibility: stretched beyond resting lengthRequires antagonist or gravity force
Elasticity: return to resting length

Muscular-Skeletal System
Classification of muscle contractionIsometric: no change in muscle length
No physical work performed
Tension usually constant
Concentric: decreasing muscle lengthPositive work
Acceleration of limb during movement
Tension decreases
Eccentric: increasing muscle lengthNegative work
Deceleration of limb
Tension increases
Isotonic: applied force is constantRare in practice

Muscular Tension
Length of muscleMaximum tension occurs at resting length (or slightly longer)
All active myosin sites lined up with actin attachment sites
Joint angle changes length

MusclesVelocity of Contraction
Maximum velocity at zero tensionMaximum force at zero velocity
Cross-Sectional AreaMax force (0.3-0.4 N/mm2)Only gender difference is cross-sectional area
Women narrower muscleWomen 2/3 force of men
Electrical Process of MuscleResting potential of muscle fiber
90 mV with inside negatively charge relative to exteriorDue to imbalance of ions
Action Potential is reversal of resting potentialPositive charge applied (depolarization)Lasts 2-4 msec, speed 5 m/s
Refractory period is where muscle has decreased ion permeability1-3 msec after action potential

Physiological Strain-Basic Concepts
Force – a unit of force is a newton (N) = 1 kg-m/s2
1 N = 0.225 lbf (pounds force)
Work or Energy – Work is done or energy is consumed when a force is applied over a distance
Measures:1 N x 1 m = 1 J (joule)Kilocalorie (kcal) = amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water from 15 degrees Celsius to 16 degrees CelsiusThe Calorie which is used for energy content of food is actually a kilocalorie
1 kcal = 1000 cal = 1 Cal (food)1 kJ = 1000 J1 kcal = 4.1868 kJ1 kcal = 3087.4 ft lbs
Power = Work per unit timeMeasures
Watt (W) = 1 J/sHorsepower (hp) = 736 W

Muscular ActivityMetabolism
Supplies the energy needed to slide the actin filaments over the myosin filaments. It is a chemical process of converting food into mechanical work and heat.
Some mechanical work is consumed by the body while other is consumed by physical activity
Basic source of energy for contraction of the muscle is glycogen or glucose which is abundant in the blood
Sources of Energy

EnergyMetabolism - Sources of energy (see Figure 8-2 Sanders & McCormick (7th ed)
First 3-5 secsadenosine triphosphate (ATP)-a high energy phosphate compound is mobilized. It breaks down to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) which releases energy.
ATP ADP + P (phosphate radical) + free energy
ATP RegeneratedTo continue muscular activity, ATP must be regenerated
creatine phosphate + ADP creatine + ATPcreatine phosphate is high energy existing in small amounts in muscles
Depletion of creatine phosphate occurs in about 15 secBlood glucose or glycogen is mobilized. Glucose is a blood sugar which is converted by various stages first into pyruvic acid.

EnergyMetabolism – further breakdown may be
Anaerobic work – if O2 is not supplied to the muscle, pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid while ATP is regenerated. Lactic acid accumulation causes muscle fatigue and pain
glucose + 2 phosphate + 2 ADP 2 lactate + 2 ATP
Aerobic work – if O2 is supplied, pyruvic acid is broken down into water and carbon dioxide, releasing large amounts of ATP
glucose + 38 phosphate + 38 ADP + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 44 H2O + 38 ATPOxidation of pyruvic acid in aerobic work involves enzymes, co-enzymes, and fatty acids (Krebs cycle, figure 3.4 – Pulat)
O2 is key to efficient work. Its supply requires more blood be pumped to muscle per unit time as well as heavier breathing to oxygenate bloodKilocalorie (kcal) – most common measure of energy requirement for physical activity
Resting energy 0.3 kcal per minute for man of about 154 lbsResting male (laying down and no digestive activity) 1700 kcal/dayResting female (laying down and no digestive activity) 1400 kcal/day
