Introduction:
Your muscles perform all of the motor functions
in your body, even pumping blood.
Organization of Muscles:
Although many of the
muscles in the human body
are different, they all have
the same levels of
organization.
On the right is a
pyramid I made showing
this
Properties of Muscles:
Cells = Muscle Fibers (Appearance)
Tissues = Muscle Tissues (3 Kinds)
Organs = Skeletal Muscle (Instructions)
Organ Systems = Skeletal Muscle System
(Movement/Lift)
Organisms = Human Body (Other Systems)
How it Works:
Muscle contractions caused by force produced by myosin and actin
filaments
Muscles move when thin filament in fiber slide over thick filament
All the muscles in your body use oxygen and
glucose as a main source of energy. The oxygen allows the glucose to convert
to ATP, which is what fuels muscle contractions.
When oxygen is not present, glucose is
converted to lactic acid instead, which is an inefficient fuel source that causes
fatigue.
Nerve impulses from brain usually always result in
muscle movement
Fun Facts:
600 individual Muscles in our bodys
Skeletal Muscles make up 40% of our body
weight
Most of your muscular strength is turned off
to prevent injury.
The stapedius (ear muscle) is the smallest
muscle in your body. The gluteus is largest.
