2 Special Characteristics of Muscle Tissue Excitability: responsiveness Contractility: shortening Extensibility: streching Elasticity: recoil to resting length 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

3 Skeletal Muscle Anatomy Macroscopic & Microscopic

8 Myofilament Structure Thin filaments G-actin vs. F-actin Regulatory proteins: Tropomyosin and Troponin Thick filaments Myosin tails Myosin heads ATPase Binding sites for ATP Binding sites for actin

9 Figure 9.3 Composition of thick and thin filaments. Longitudinal section of filaments within one sarcomere of a myofibril Thick filament Thin filament Thick filament. Each thick filament consists of many myosin molecules whose heads protrude at oppositeends of the filament. Portion of a thick filament In the center of the sarcomere, the thick filaments lack myosin heads. Myosin heads are present only in areas of myosin-actin overlap. Thin filament A thin filament consists of two strands of actin subunits twisted into a helix plus two types of regulatory proteins (troponin and tropomyosin). Portion of a thin filament Myosin head Tropomyosin Troponin Actin Actin-binding sites Heads ATPbinding site Flexible hinge region 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Myosin molecule Tail Actin subunits Actin subunits Active sites for myosin attachment
