‘¢ Change in position or place by the entire body or by
‘one or more of its parts
‘¢ Animals possess two forms of movements:
+ movements of body parts
* Locomotion
‘© Two collectively referred to as muscular movements
‘© Study of movement: Kinesiology
Muscular movements: Internal body parts:
«© Circulation of blood
‘* Gaseous exchange: movements of diaphragm assist
chest in the flow of air through respiratory tract
«* Peristalsis for passage of food and urine
‘© Movements of genital tract and uterine wall during egg
laying and childbirthNon-muscular movements: Inside the cell

& Take part in propulsion of excretory products in
urinary tubules and flame cells
Occurs in most of ou
by ciliated epithelium
internal tubular organs lined

and sperms

'* Pseudopodial movements:
@ Helps to make movement in leukocytes and
macrophayes
& ASfected by pseudopodia formed by the streaming of
protoplasm and helps in creeping (Amoebo)
& Cytoskeletal elements like microfilaments also
involved in amoeboid movement
Flagellar movements:

‘of water in the body (Sponges)

‘© The light bands contain actin and is called band or

. Troponin C: calcium binding polypeptide
Structure of Contractile Proteins
‘© Each actin (thin) filament made of two ‘F* (filamentous)
actins helically wound to each other
'* Each ‘F' actin is a polymer of monomeric ‘G’ (Globular)
actins
‘© Two filaments of another protein, tropomyosin also run
close to the *F’actins throughout its length
* A complex protein Troponin Is distributed at regular
Intervals on the tropomyosin
‘2 In resting state: a subunit of troponin masks the active
binding sites for myosin on the actin filaments
‘* Each myosin (thick) filament is also a polymerised protein
© Many monomeric proteins: Meromyosins constitute one
thick filament,
'* Each meromyosin has two important parts, 2 globular
head with a short arm and a tall, the former being called
the heavy meromyosin (HMM) and the latter, the light
meromyosin (LMM)
‘* HMM component, ie; the head and short arm projects
‘outwards at regular distance and angle from each other
from the surface of a polymerised myosin filament: known
as cross arm
‘© The globular head is an active ATPase enzyme and has
binding sites for ATP and active sites for actin‘After this, an enzyme cholinesterase present along with
receptor sites for acetylcholine, breaks down
diffuses back to the axon and
is reused to synthesize more acetylcholine for
transmission of subsequent impulses
‘* At the opening of each transverse tubule onto the
muscle fibre surface, the action potential spreads inside
the muscle fibre
‘* At each point where a transverse tubule touches part of
the sarcoplasmic reticulum, it causes the sarcoplasmic
reticulum to release Ca* ions
‘# Increase in Ca level leads to the binding of calcium
with a subunit of troponin on actin filaments and
thereby remove the masking of active sites for myosin.
Mechanism of Muscle Contraction
© Best explained by sliding filament theory which states
that contraction of a muscle fibre takes place by sliding
of thin filaments over thick filaments
‘¢ Muscle contraction initiated by a signal sent by the CNS.
via a motor neuron
* A motor neuron along with the muscle fibres connected
to it constitute a motor unit
‘* Junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma
of the muscle fibre: Neuromuscular junction or
motor-end plate
© A neural signal reaching this junction releases a
neurotransmitter, Acetylcholine which generates an
Neder
action potential in the sarcolemma
‘© The head of each myosin molecule contains an enzyme myosin
ATPase
«= In the presence of myosin ATPase, Ca*" and Mg ons, ATP breaks
‘down into ADP and inorganic phosphate, releasing energy in the
head
= Utlising the energy from ATP hydrolysis, the myosin head now
binds to the exposed active sites on actn to form across bridge
‘© This pulls the attached actin flaments towards the centre of
bana
© The Z line attached to these actins are also pulled inwards thereby
‘causing a shortening of the sarcomere, Le, contraction

Cross-bridge
pulls actin lament
‘© During shortening of the muscle, i.e., contraction, the ‘I
bands get reduced, whereas the ‘A’ bands retain the
length
‘* Myosin, releasing the ADP and P, goes back to its relaxed
state
‘* Anew ATP binds and the cross-bridge is broken
¢ The ATP is again hydrolysed by the myosin head and the
cycle of cross bridge formation and breakage is repeated
causing further sliding
‘© The process continues till the Ca” ions are pumped back
to the sarcoplasmic cisternae resulting in masking of
actin filaments
‘This causes the return of ‘Z' lines back to their original.Cori’s Cycle Cori’s Cycle
Proposed by Cori and Cor
vie Mook oad
Repeated activation of muscles leads to accumulation of
lactic acid due to anaerobic breakdown of glycogen in
them, causing fatigue
This cycle occurs in the muscles and liver
During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid is produced in
the muscles
Lactic acid is carried in the blood to the liver where
and
Glycogen releases glucose into blood which is
reconverted to glycogen in muscles; cycle is repeated.
MUSCLETypes of muscles
> The body muscles show four general forms:
‘© Broad, thin, sheetdike muscles, e.g., obliquus
‘externus and transversus, which form the flexible
abdominal wall
Slender, ribbon-like muscles, eg, biceps and
deltoideus of the limb
* Long, tapering muscles, e.g., gastrocnemius of the
1d limbs
‘© Ring - like sphincter muscles, e.g., sphincter ani, that
surrounds the anus and constricts to close it
Vedanta
Types of muscles Flexor and extensor
© Flexor: muscle that bends one part of a limb on
another at a joint e.g. biceps that bring the forearm
‘* Flexor and extensor towards the upper arm
> On the basis of movement:
«© Pronator and supinator Extensor: antagonist of flexor muscle; contraction of
BYabeiictorend edductor an extensor extends a joint by pulling one of the
articulating bone apart from another, e.g. triceps that
* Depressors and elevators ee cant cco
© Sphincters and dilators
‘© Protractor and retractorPronator and supinator
© The contraction of a pronator rotates the forearm to
turn the palm downward or backward
© Supinator is antagonist of pronator; contracts to
rotate the forearm and thus to make palm face
upward or forward
Depressors and elevators
© Depressors: lower a part
that lowers down the lower jaw to open the mouth
depressor mandibulae
© Elevators: (antagonistic to depressor) raise a part ex
masseter that lifts up the lower jaw to close the mouth
Abductor and adductor
© Abductor: contracts to draw a bone away from the
body midline e.g. deltoideus that draws the forelimb
to the side
© Adductor: draws a bone towards the body midline
24g, latissimus dorsi that presses the entire forelimb
against the
Sphincters and dilators
‘© Sphincters decrease the size of the apertures to close
them while dilators widen the apertures.Protractor and retractor

head forward
© Retraction is opposite to protraction; draws the lower
