Suggested Lecture Outline

I. INTRODUCTION

A. The muscular system specifically concerns skeletal muscles and associated connective tissue that make individual muscle organs.

B. This chapter discusses how skeletal muscles produce movement and describes the principal skeletal muscles.

II. HOW SKELETAL MUSCLES PRODUCE MOVEMENT

A. Muscle Attachment Sites: Origin and Insertion

1. Skeletal muscles produce movements by exerting force on tendons, which in turn pull on bones or other structures, such as skin.

2. Most muscles cross at least one joint and are attached to the articulating bones that form the joint (Figure 11.1a).

3. When such a muscle contracts, it draws one articulating bone toward the other.

a. The attachment to the stationary bone is the origin.

b. The attachment to the movable bone is the insertion.

4. Tenosynovitis is an inflammation of the tendons, tendon sheaths, and synovial membranes surrounding certain joints (Clinical Connection).

B. Lever Systems and Leverage

1. Bones serve as levers and joints serve as fulcrums.

2. The lever is acted on by two different forces: resistance (load) and effort (Figure 11.1b).

3. Levers are categorized into three types, according to the position of the fulcrum, effort, and load

a. first-class (EFL) (Figure 11.2a)-the fulcrum is between the effort and the load. An example is pair of scissors.

b. second-class (FLE) (Figure 11.2b)- the load is between the fulcrum and effort. An example is a wheelbarrow.

c. third-class (FEL) (Figure 11.2c).-the effort is between the fulcrum and the load. An example is a pair of forceps.

4. Leverage, the mechanical advantage gained by a lever, is largely responsible for a muscle’s strength and range of motion (ROM), i.e., the maximum ability to move the bones of a joint through an arc.

C. Effects of Fascicle Arrangement

1. Skeletal muscle fibers (cells) are arranged within the muscle in bundles called fasciculi.

2. The muscle fibers are arranged in a parallel fashion within each bundle, but the arrangement of the fasciculi with respect to the tendons may take one of four characteristic patterns: parallel, fusiform, pennate, and circular (Table 11.1).

3. Fascicular arrangement is correlated with the power of a muscle and the range of motion.

4. Intramuscular injections have advantages, and disadvantages, over oral or subcutaneous delivery of medications (Clinical Connection)

D. Coordination Within Muscle Groups

1. Most movements are coordinated by several skeletal muscles acting in groups rather than individually, and most skeletal muscles are arranged in opposing (antagonistic) pairs at joints.

2. A muscle that causes a desired action is referred to as the prime mover (agonist); the antagonist produces an opposite action.

3. Most movements also involve muscles called synergists, which serve to steady a movement, thus preventing unwanted movements and helping the prime mover function more efficiently.

4. Some synergist muscles in a group also act as fixators, which stabilize the origin of the prime mover so that it can act more efficiently.

5. Under different conditions and depending on the movement and which point is fixed, many muscles act, at various times, as prime movers, antagonists, synergists, or fixators.

6. Some of the benefits of stretching (Clinical Connection) include: improved physical performance, decreased risk of injury, reduced muscle soreness, improved posture, increased synovial fluid, and increased neuromuscular co-ordination.

A. Running Injuries

1. Most running injuries involve the knee. Other commonly injured sites are the calcaneal (Achilles) tendon, medial aspect of the tibia, hip area, groin area, foot and ankle, and back.

2. Running injuries are frequently related to faulty training techniques.

3. Running injuries can be treated initially (first 2-3 days) with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE therapy). Alternating moist heat and ice massage may be used as a follow-up treatment. Sometimes, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) or local injections of corticosteroids are needed; an alternate fitness program is necessary to keep active during the recovery period followed by careful rehabilitative exercise.

B. Compartment Syndrome

1. Skeletal muscles in the limbs are organized in units called compartments.

2. In compartment syndrome, some external or internal pressure constricts the structures within a compartment, resulting in damaged blood vessels and subsequent reduction of the blood supply to the structures within the compartment.

3. Without intervention, nerves suffer damage, and muscle develop scar tissue that results in permanent shortening of the muscles, a condition called contracture.
