    CHAPTER 3: THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM Three Types of Muscle * Muscle tissue is a collection of cells that shorten during contraction which create tension that results in movement * Tendons are touch bands of connective tissue that join muscle with bones Skeletal muscles * Muscles that are attached to bone (by tendons and other tissue) * Comprise 30 to 40% of human body weight * Humans have conscious control (conscious muscle) over these muscles (the brain can tell them what to do)

    TOPIC 1- INTRO TO CELL BIOLOGY Cell Theory: 1) all organisms consist of one or more cells 2) the cell is the basic unit of structure for all organisms (Theodor Schwann) 3) all cells arise only from pre-existing cells (i.e cell= basic unit of reproduction) (Rudolf Virchow) Cells have enormous diversity (function and size)‚ but have unity (similar basic chemistry i.e DNA‚ ATP‚ metabolism‚ etc.) ** units: 1µm= 10-6m‚ 1nm= 10-9 m (typical prokaryote is 1-5µm‚ typical eukaryote is 10-30 µm)

    contract. The acetylcholine then combines with receptors to stimulate movement‚ or a muscle impulse. As a result‚ calcium ions flood into to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This forms connections between the actin and myosin filaments. A cross bridge is attached to a myosin filament and when the actin filament slides opposite of the myosin‚ the cross bridge forms new links. All of this can be accomplished only if there is an energy source. The energy source for movement of a muscle contraction called

    The Structure and Function Relationships of Proteins Proteins are a group of organic compounds whose molecules consist of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen and sometimes sulfur atoms. They are condensation polymers of amino acids that are joined by strong peptide bonds. There are 20 different types of amino acids available‚ and the different combinations of these amino acids give it different structures and specific functions to it. Below in this essay‚ will illustrate the how different structure

    is rapidly conducted into the interior of the muscle fiber by structures called t-tubules. The t-tubules make contact with the Ca2+ filled sarcoplasmic reticulum. The Ca2+ released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum binds to troponin complex by the actin filaments‚ which causes the troponin complex to pull tropomyosin away. Because these chemicals have a high affinity for calcium ions they cause the myosin cross-bridges to
