•Voluntary muscle that is under conscious control
• It is also called striated muscle because of its striped appearance.
![Page 6: Muscles are organs, They are specialised effectors that contract to cause movement](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f355503460f94c531b4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
•Muscles are attached to bones by tendons and are made up of hundreds of specialised cells called muscle fibres, which are several cms long
•the surface membrane of each muscle fibre is called the sarcolemma and is deeply folded to form transverse or T-tubules.
![Page 7: Muscles are organs, They are specialised effectors that contract to cause movement](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f355503460f94c531b4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
•The cytoplasm is called the sarcoplasm and contains many mitochondria.
•Many nuclei are found just below the sarcolemma, making muscle fibres multinucleate.
•The sarcoplasm also contains long specialised units called myofibrils that run the length of the fibre.

Ultrastructure of myofibrils
•Each myofibril consists of 2 types of proteins, often called myofilaments
•Thick myofilaments are made of the large protein myosin, whilst
•Thin myofilaments are composed of the smaller protein actin

• Myosin and actin filaments lie adjacent to one another.
• Myosin filaments are linked by a thin disc, the M line, which runs perpendicular to the filaments

• Actin filaments are linked in a similar way, held together by a disc called the Z line.

• The actin filaments slot between the myosin filaments.
• The thicker myosin filaments appear darker than the thinner actin and give the skeletal muscle its striated/banded pattern under the microscope.
• The section of myofibril between 2 Z-lines forms the basic contractile unit and is called a sarcomere.

The part of the myofibril•containing only actin is called the I-band (isotropic)•containing myosin, including the overlap with actin, is called the A-band (anisotropic)•Within the A-band containing myosin only is called the H-zone•Detailed inspection shows a regular arrangement in the area of overlapping myosin and actin. Each myosin being surrounded by 6 actin filaments in a hexagonal pattern.

When a muscle contracts the actin filaments are pulled over the myosin filaments (towards the M line), reducing the length of each sarcomere and therefore the whole muscle.
This process, known as the
sliding filament mechanism.
![Page 24: Muscles are organs, They are specialised effectors that contract to cause movement](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f355503460f94c531b4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How does this occur?
Bulbous heads extend from the myosin filaments, which are able to attach to receptor complementary receptor sites on the actin filaments.

At rest the actin receptor sites are blocked by an accessory protein called tropomyosin, which prevents the myosin heads from binding.
tropomyosinblocking actinreceptor sites
![Page 26: Muscles are organs, They are specialised effectors that contract to cause movement](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f355503460f94c531b4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Muscles are organs, They are specialised effectors that contract to cause movement](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f355503460f94c531b4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1. An action potential arrives at the neuromuscular junction causing the release of neurotransmitter substance that crosses the synaptic cleft and depolarises the post synaptic membrane. The AP travels along the sarcoplasm through the T tubule system.
2. The AP causes calcium ion channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER of muscle fibres) to open.
3. Ca2+ stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum diffuse into the sarcoplasm down their concentration gradient.
4. Ca2+ cause the tropomyosin to move, freeing the actin binding sites for the myosin heads to attach, forming actomyosin bridges.
5. When attached the myosin heads change shape, rotating back to an angle of 45o. This pulls the actin filaments over the adjacent myosin filaments (about 10nm).
The sliding filament mechanism
![Page 28: Muscles are organs, They are specialised effectors that contract to cause movement](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f355503460f94c531b4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
6. ATP attaches to each myosin head & is hydrolysed, releasing energy which causes the myosin head to detach from the stationary actin binding site and return to its original position.
7. The detached myosin heads repeat the process, attachment, rotation, release, about 5 times per second.
8. The cycle will continue as long as the muscle receives nervous stimulation and Ca2+ is present.
Each individual sarcomere (about 2.5m) moves a very short distance, but the combined movement of all the sarcomeres lined end to end in a
muscle fibre, all contracting at the same time, is considerable.
![Page 29: Muscles are organs, They are specialised effectors that contract to cause movement](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f355503460f94c531b4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The movement of the actin filaments across the myosin filaments causes the following changes:
• the sarcomere shortens,
• the Z lines become closer together, so the
I bands become shorter
• The H zone becomes shorter
However the A band (length of myosin)
does not change in length

• The synapse between the axon of a motor neurone and a muscle is called the neuromuscular junction.
• The part of the muscle fibre that forms the post-synaptic membrane is called the motor end plate.
• It is infolded to increase the surface area for more neurotransmitter receptors.

• There are many neuromuscular junctions along each muscle fibre. Each receives an AP at the same time, ensuring the whole muscle contracts at the same time, rather than a wave gradually spreading across it.
• The strength of the contraction depends on: – How long the muscle is stimulated– How many muscle fibres are stimulated and
contracting.
