            Entirely within a tendon at a point of major pressure
                        Patellar tendon

Arthrology
            3 categories based on movement
                        Synarthoris à no movement
                        Amphiarthrosis à some movement
                        Diarthrosis à freely moveable

            3 based on structure
                        Fibrous à little to no movement
                                    Syndesmosis - more fibrous tissue
                                    Suture - minimal fibrous tissue
                        Cartilage à litte to no movement
                                    Synchondrosis – temporary growth plate
                                    Symphysis
                        Synovial à freely moveable
                                     Joint capsule line with synovial membrane for synovial fluid                                           production for lubrication
                                    Synostosis – sutures that have completely calcified
                                    Arthrodia – Gliding joints
                                                Carpal bones
                                                Non axial

The Muscular system
Only Skeletal & voluntary muscles/organs
            Maintains posture – due to tonus
                        Tonus - continuous contraction of muscle
            Stabilizes articulations
            Red meat of the body
            Functions for locomotion
            Produces heat
            Interdependent system
            Contractible irritable extensible elastic
            Usually attached to bone
            Fatigues Fast
            Responds to Stimuli Faster
            Less Extensible
            Supports Nervous & Vascular system
                        Muscle movement can act as a pump (especially vascular system – lymph)
            Has both Sensory and Motor Neurons
            Lots of Mitochondria

Muscle Belly
            Fibers & tendon(s)
                        Tendon of Origin – attaches to less moveable structure
                        Tendon of Insertion – attaches to more movable structure
            May have 2 or more tendons of Origin
            May have Single origin and Several insertions
           
Aponuerosis à broad flat tendonous sheet, mainly serving to connect a muscle with the parts it moves

Deep Fascia
Each fiber has a sarcolemma
Endomycium surrounds sarcolemma
Fasiculus is a bundle of fibers
Perymycium surrounds each fascicle
Epimycium surrounds the all fasicles as a whole

NueroMuscular Junction
            Muscles and nerves actually don’t touch
            Synaptic bulb is the end of the nerve that begins the synaptic cleft
            Synaptic Cleft is just the space between the nerve and the muscle
            Motor End Plate is the sarcolemma of the muscle

In the Synaptic Cleft
            Several Mitochondria
            Several Synaptic vesicles
                        Containing ACh acetylcholine
                                    ACh  causes change in permeability that causes muscles to contract
                        Or contains AChE acetylcholinesterase
                                    AChE causes change in permeability that causes muscles to relax
                                                By removing ACh

Arrangement
            Nuclei lies under the sarcolemma
            Myofibril arrangement causes light and dark bands
                        Also directly responsible for muscle contraction
            Actin = thin band
                        Filaments anchored in Z line
            Myosin = Thick band
                        Filaments anchored near M line
Sarcomere
            Distance between 2 adjacent Z lines
           
I Band – Thin Actin ONLY
H Zone – Thick Myosin ONLY
A Band - location where Actin and Myosin overlap
M Line – Down the middle of thick myosin

Sliding Filament Theory
The sliding filament theory is the explanation for how muscles produce force (or, usually, shorten).  It explains that the thick and thin filaments within the sarcomere slide past one another, shortening the entire length of the sarcomere.  In order to slide past one another, the myosin heads will interact with the actin filaments and, using ATP, bend to pull past the actin

All or None Law
If the stimulus is any strength above threshold, the nerve or muscle fiber will give a complete response or otherwise no response at all

            Motor units
                        Controls anywhere from 3 – 150 fibers
                        # of motor units determines Total amount of force used

Roles of Muscle
            Prime Mover – Main muscle involved in desired action
            Antagonist – Counteracts action of prime mover
            Synergist – Steadies movement or removes unwanted movement
            Fixator – Maintains same position
            Coordination – Cooperation Between muscles
                        Controlled via cerebellum

A muscle that is closer to a joint has greater range of motion but losses leverage
A muscle that is away from a joint has less range yet more leverage

Muscle Arrangement
            Longitudinal (Parallel) all fibers arranged parallel fashion
                        Can shorten by 1/3 or ½ length of muscle belly
                        Weak
            Unapenate – Muscle fibers attach laterally along 1 side
            Bipenate – muscle fibers attach laterally 2 sides – Powerfull
            Radiate --Combined arrangement of flat and fusiform
muscles, orginate on brad aponeurosis and
converge onto a tendon
            Orbicularis -- a muscle encircling an orifice
