Lesson 10: The Muscular System

Lesson Objectives:

At the end of the lesson the student should be able to:


a. identify the different muscles of the human body;
b. classify the different muscles of the human body based on its type;and
c.show understanding about the different types of muscles.

Readings:

Muscles are the “red meat” attached to the bones. It contributes 40% to 45% of body
weight. This specialized tissue enables the body and its part to move. Movement occurs when
muscle cells or muscle fibers shorten or contract thru the conversion of chemical energy obtained
from food into mechanical energy. Muscles contract in the presence of Electrical, Mechanical,
Chemical, and Thermal stimulation.

Figure 1.22 Structure of a Skeletal Muscle


Composition of Muscle Tissue
Water (H2O) - 75%
Protein (CHON) - 20%
Mineral, glycogen, glucose and fat - 5%

Properties of Muscle Tissue


1. Contractility is the ability of the muscle to contract or shorten.
2. Excitability (Irritability) is the capacity to receive and respond to a stimulus.
3. Elasticity is the ability to be pulled or stretched.
4. Extensibility is the capacity to return to its original shape after contraction or being
stretched.

D. Attachments of a Skeletal Muscle


a. Origin – the muscle part attached to the immovable (stationary) or less movable bone.
b. Insertion – the muscle part attached to a movable bone
c. Body – the remaining part of the muscle except the two ends.
