Chapter 9: Muscular System

Learning Outcomes

9.1 Introduction
        1  List various outcomes of muscle actions
9.2 Structure of a Skeletal Muscle
        2  Describe the structure of a skeletal muscle.
        3  Name the major parts of a skeletal muscle fiber and describe the functions of each.
9.3 Skeletal Muscle Contraction
        4  Describe the neural control of skeletal muscle contraction
        5  Identify the major events of skeletal muscle fiber contraction.
        6  List the energy sources for skeletal muscle fiber contraction.
        7  Describe oxygen debt.
        8  Describe how a muscle may become fatigued.
9.4 Muscular Responses
        9  Distinguish between a twitch and a sustained contraction.
       10  Explain how various types of muscular contractions produce body movements and help maintain posture.
       11  Distinguish between fast and slow twitch muscle fibers.
9.5 Smooth Muscles
       12  Distinguish between the structures and functions of multiunit smooth muscle and visceral smooth muscle.
       13  Compare the contraction mechanisms of skeletal and smooth muscle fibers.
9.6 Cardiac Muscle
       14  Compare the contraction mechanisms of skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers.
9.7 Skeletal Muscle Actions
       15  Explain how the attachments, locations, and interactions of skeletal muscles make possible certain movements.
9.8 Major Skeletal Muscles
       16  Identify and locate the skeletal muscles of each body region and describe the action(s) of each muscle.
9.9 Life-Span Changes
       17  Describe aging-related changes in the muscular system.
       18  Discuss how exercise can help maintain a healthy muscular system as the body ages.
