1 Structural Support and Movement Chapter 33

2 33.1 Skeletons and Muscles Most animals move when the force of muscle contraction is applied to skeletal elements

3 Animal Skeletons Hydrostatic skeleton A confined fluid accepts the force of muscle contraction Exoskeleton Consists of hardened parts at the body surface Endoskeleton Consists of hardened parts inside the body

4 Invertebrate Skeletons Fig. 33.2, p.546

5 Vertebrate Endoskeletons Skull bones, vertebral column, rib cage Pelvic girdle, pectoral girdle, and paired limbs

6 Adaptations of Vertebrate Skeletons Modifications to fins and other skeletal structures accompanied the move from water to land Fins evolved into limbs, pectoral and pelvic girdles got stronger, and a breastbone helped form the rib cage Evolution of an upright posture in human ancestors involved skeletal modifications

7 Human Skeletal Structure

8 b Rib cage These bones and some vertebrae enclose, protect heart, lungs; assist breathing: STERNUM (breastbone) RIBS (twelve pairs) c Vertebral column,or backbone VERTEBRAE (twenty-six bones) Enclose, protect spinal cord; support skull, upper extremities; attachment sites for muscles INTERVERTEBRAL DISKS Fibrous, cartilaginous structures between vertebrae; absorb movement-induced stresses; impart flexibility to backbone ligament bridging a knee joint, side view, midsection a Skull bones CRANIAL BONES Enclose, protect brain and sensory organs FACIAL BONES Framework for facial area, support for teeth e Pelvic girdle and lower limb bones PATELLA (kneebone) Protects knee joint; aids leverage Fig. 33.4a, p.547

9 d Pectoral girdle and upper limb bones Bones with extensive muscle attachments, arranged for great freedom of movement: PELVIC GIRDLE (six fused bones) Supports weight of backbone; helps protect soft pelvic organs CLAVICLE (collarbone) SCAPULA (shoulder blade) HUMERUS (upper arm bone) RADIUS (forearm bone) ULNA (forearm bone) CARPALS (wrist bones) METACARPALS (palm bones) PHALANGES (thumb, finger bones) e Pelvic girdle and lower limb bones FEMUR (thighbone) Body s strongest weight-bearing bone; works with large muscles in locomotion and in maintaining upright posture TIBIA (lower leg bone) Major load-bearing role FIBULA (lower leg bone) Muscle attachment sites; no load-bearing role TARSALS (ankle bones) METATARSALS (sole bones) PHALANGES (toe bones) Fig. 33.4b, p.547

10 SKULL cranial bones facial bones RIB CAGE sternum ribs VERTEBRAL COLUMN vertebrae intervertebral disks PECTORAL GIRDLES AND UPPER EXTREMITIES clavicle scapula humerus radius ulna phalanges carpals metacarpals PELVIC GIRDLE AND LOWER EXTREMITIES pelvic girdle femur patella tibia fibula tarsals phalanges metatarsals Stepped Art Fig. 33.4, p.547

11 Key Concepts: SKELETAL SYSTEMS Contractile force exerted against some type of skeleton moves the animal body Many invertebrates have a hydrostatic skeleton, which is a fluid-filled body cavity Others have an exoskeleton of hardened structures at the body surface Vertebrates have an endoskeleton, an internal skeleton of cartilage, bone, or both

12 33.2 Bone Structure Bone matrix Collagen fibers and mineral salts Bone cells Osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts Compact bone and spongy bone Red marrow and yellow marrow

13 Bone Structure Fig. 33.5a, p.548

14 Bone Functions

15 Bone Formation and Remodeling In human embryos, bones develop from a cartilage model Hormonally regulated bone remodeling helps maintain blood levels of mineral ions

16 Long Bone Formation Fig. 33.6, p.549

17 Osteoporosis

18 Joints Joints Regions where bones meet Most allow bones to move Held together by ligaments Types of joints Fibrous joint Cartilaginous joint Synovial joint

19 Key Concepts: VERTEBRATE SKELETONS Bones are collagen-rich organs that help the body move They also protect and support soft organs, and store minerals Blood cells form in some bones Cartilage or ligaments connect bones at joints

20 33.3 Skeletal-Muscular Systems Muscle fibers Long, cylindrical cells with multiple nuclei Form from groups of embryonic cells that fuse before they differentiate and mature Bundled inside a dense connective tissue sheath Tendons Extensions of connective tissue sheath Attach skeletal muscles to bones

21 Muscle Contraction and Movement When skeletal muscles contract, they transmit force to bones and move them Fig. 33.8, p.550

22 Muscle Interactions Some muscles work together, others work as opposing pairs Fig. 33.9, p.500

26 Key Concepts: THE MUSCLE BONE PARTNERSHIP Skeletal muscles are bundles of muscle fibers that interact with bones and with one another Some cause movements by working as pairs or groups Others oppose or reverse the action of a partner muscle Tendons attach skeletal muscles to bones

27 33.4 Skeletal Muscle Organization Internal organization of a skeletal muscle promotes a strong, directional contraction A skeletal muscle fiber is made up of many myofibrils

28 Skeletal Muscle Organization A myofibril consists of sarcomeres (basic units of muscle contraction) lined up along its length Each sarcomere has parallel arrays of actin and myosin filaments

All bands of its myofibrils line up in rows and give the fiber a striped appearance. sarcomere sarcomere Z band Z band H zone Z band c Sarcomeres. Many thick and thin filaments overlap in an A band. Only thick filaments extend across the H zone. Only thin filaments extend across I bands to the Z bands. Different proteins organize and stabilize the array. I band A band I band Fig b, p.552

33 Fig c, p.552

34 Muscle Contraction Sliding-filament model Actin filaments slide past myosin filaments, shortening the sarcomere ATP-driven Muscle contraction Shortening of all sarcomeres in all myofibrils of all muscle fibers

37 myosin head one of many myosin binding sites on actin c Myosin in a muscle at rest. Earlier, all myosinheads were energized bybinding ATP, which they hydrolyzed to ADP and inorganic phosphate. cross-bridge cross-bridge d A rise in the localconcentration of calcium exposes binding sites for myosin on actin filaments, so cross-bridges form. e Binding makes each myosin head tilt toward the sarcomere s center and slide the bound actin along with it. f ADP and phosphate are released as myosin heads drag actin inward, which pulls the Z bands closer together. ATP ATP g New ATP binds to myosin heads, which detach from actin. ATP is hydrolyzed, which returns myosin heads to original orientations, ready to act. Fig b p.553

38 Key Concepts: HOW SKELETAL MUSCLE CONTRACTS A muscle fiber contains many myofibrils, each divided crosswise into sarcomeres, the basic units of contraction Sarcomeres contain many parallel arrays of actin and myosin filaments ATP-driven interactions between the arrays shorten sarcomeres, which collectively accounts for contraction of a whole muscle

39 33.5 Signals and Responses Signals from motor neurons result in action potentials in muscle fibers; causes the release of calcium stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum Calcium floods out and allows actin and myosin heads to interact; muscle contraction occurs

40 Pathway of Muscle Control

41 a Messages from spinal cord trigger release of acetylcholine (ACh) from a motor neuron s axon endings. section from spinal cord motor neuron neuromuscular junction b ACh diffuses to the muscle fiber and its binding causes action potentials. section from skeletal muscle Fig a-b, p.554

42 c Action potentials propagate along a muscle fiber s plasma membrane down to T tubules, then to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which releases calcium ions. The ions promote interactions of myosin and actin that result in contraction. T tubule sarcoplasmic reticulum one myofibril in muscle fiber muscle fiber s plasma membrane Fig c, p.554

43 Motor Units and Muscle Tension A motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it controls are one motor unit Brief stimulation causes a muscle twitch Repeated stimulation causes a sustained contraction (tetanus) A muscle will shorten when muscle tension exceeds an opposing load

44 Energy for Contraction Muscle fibers produce ATP needed for contraction by three pathways: Dephosphorylation of creatine phosphate Aerobic respiration Lactate fermentation

45 Exercise, Aging, and Disease Muscle fatigue decreases a muscle s capacity to generate force, despite repeated stimulation Age and muscular dystrophy can weaken muscles

46 33.6 Muscles and Toxins Nervous system signals that stimulate contraction can be disrupted by toxins Examples: Food poisoning, the disease tetanus

47 Key Concepts: PROPERTIES OF WHOLE MUSCLES Muscle fibers in a muscle are organized in motor units that contract in response to signals from one motor neuron Cross-bridges form in all the sarcomeres and collectively exert tension

48 Key Concepts: PROPERTIES OF WHOLE MUSCLES (cont.) A muscle contracts only when the tensile force exceeds other, opposing forces Exercise enhances the properties of whole muscles, and aging and disease diminish them
