Muscle Contraction and the Control of Body

6/11/11
Muscles and Movement
07
The goal of this lecture is to discuss
the basic physiology of skeletal and
smooth muscle (cardiac muscle will be
cover in the cardiovascular section).
This lecture will also introduce issues
linked to the control of movement.
The sections for this lecture are:
Life is a series of chemical reactions
occurring in compartmentalized
Introduction
environments. Skeletal muscule, structure & contraction
Muscle energy metabolism and fiber types The main purpose of life is to keep itself alive
Smooth muscule structure & contraction Physiology, the study of how life works, is
based on the simultaneous occurrence of the
Control of body movement
following three concepts:
levels of organization
structure / function relationship
homeostatic regulation
