Chapter 4: The Muscle
3SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY
Introduction to Muscles
oThe scientific study of muscles is known as myology.
oThe word muscle is derived from Latin word “Mus”
meaning mouse. Most of muscles of humans resemble a
mouse in their external appearance, the tail of the
mouse representing the tendon of the muscle.
oThe bones, muscles, and joints together form an
integrated system called the musculoskeletal system.
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 4
Parts of a skeletal muscles
oOrigin: It is the proximal attachment, which usually remains
fixed during contraction of the muscles.
oFleshy Belly: A muscle may be completely or partly fleshy
throughout its entire length. It consists of skeletal muscle cells.
oTendon: It is the rounded fibrous end of a skeletal muscle.
oAponeurosis: It is a fibrous and membranous part of a muscle
by which it is attached to distant parts, e.g. Bicipital aponeurosis
of biceps brachii muscle.
oInsertion: It is the distal moveable end of a skeletal muscle
which moves during contraction.

Types of Muscular Tissues
Depending upon the microscopic structure of muscle cells, the muscles are classified into three
types
1- Striated or Skeletal muscles: Most skeletal muscle tissue is attached to bones and moves
parts of the skeleton. It is striated; that is, striations, or alternating light and dark protein bands,
are visible under a microscope.
2- Cardiac Muscles: Found only in the heart, forms the bulk of the heart wall. The heart pumps
blood through blood vessels to all parts of the body. Like skeletal muscle tissue, cardiac muscle
tissue is striated. However, unlike skeletal muscle tissue, it is involuntary.
3- Smooth Muscles: Smooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of hollow internal structures,
such as blood vessels, airways, the stomach, and the intestines. It participates in internal
processes such as digestion and the regulation of blood pressure. Smooth muscle is nonstriated
(lacks striations) and involuntary (not under conscious control).

Group Action of Muscles
The skeletal muscles are classified into following subgroups depending upon their simple role
during movements at a joint.
1. Prime movers (Agonists): These are those muscles which are constantly active in the
initiation and maintenance of a particular movement. E.g. Biceps is a prime mover of elbow
joint during flexion.
2. Antagonists: These are those muscles which undergo relaxation when the prime mover start
contracting; then they remain silent and finally again contract in order to restrict the range of
mobility. E.g. Triceps brachii is an antagonist during flexion at the elbow.
3. Fixators: stabilizing the origin of the prime mover so that the prime mover can act more
efficiently.
4. Synergists: Most movements also involve muscles called synergists which help the prime
mover function more efficiently by reducing unnecessary movement.
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 8
Functions of Muscle
1. They take part in locomotion (movement) .
2. They maintain the posture and stability.
3. They conserve the internal heat of the body.
4. Sorrow and grief is expressed by contraction of muscle of face.
5. Storing and moving substances with the body e.g. Temporary storage of the food in the
stomach or urine in the urinary bladder.
Sphincters: Storage is accomplished by sustained contractions of ring like bands of
smooth muscle called sphincter.
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 9
Chapter 05 Structures related to the muscles
A- Fascia: These are fibro-areolar membranous sheets of variable thickness and strength
found in all regions of the body investing the softer and more delicate structures.
Types of fascia: 1- Superficial fascia 2- Deep Fascia
1- Superficial Fascia: It is a membranous sheet consisting of fibro-areolar tissue the meshes
of which are filled with fatty or adipose tissue.
2- Deep Fascia: It is a dense elastic membrane forming covering for the muscles and in some
cases affording for them blind surfaces for attachments. It is devoid of fat cells and is usually
tough and inelastic.
B- Synovial Bursae: These are sac like structures lined by synovial membrane and contain
synovial fluid. They develop at those places where friction is liable to occur during sliding of
tendon.

Chapter 06: The joints
Joints: A joint (also called an articulation) is a
point of contact between bones, between
cartilage and bones, or between teeth and
bones. When we say one bone articulates with
another bone, we mean that the two bones
form a joint.
Arthrology: is the scientific study of joints
Kinesiology: The study of motion of the
human body is called kinesiology
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 15
Knee Joint
Classification of Joints
The structural classification of joints is based on two criteria:
i. The presence or absence of a space between the articulating bones, called a synovial cavity.
ii. The type of connective tissue that holds the bones together.
Structurally, joints are classified as one of the following types:
1. Fibrous Joint: There is no synovial cavity and the bones are held together by dense irregular
connective tissue that is rich in collagen fibers.
2. Cartilaginous joints: There is no synovial cavity and the bones are held together by cartilage.
3. Synovial joints: The bones forming the joint have a synovial cavity and are united by the
dense irregular connective tissue of an articular capsule, and often by accessory ligaments.
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 16
Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints relates to the degree of movement they permit.
Functionally, joints are classified as one of the following types:
1. Synarthrosis: An immovable joint. The plural is synarthroses.
2. Amphiarthrosis: A slightly movable joint. The plural is amphiarthroses.
3. Diarthrosis: A freely movable joint. The plural is diarthroses. All diarthroses are synovial
joints. They have a variety of shapes and permit several different types of movements.
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 17
Types of Fibrous Joints
Fibrous joints permit little or no movement. The three types of fibrous joints are
(1) sutures, (2) syndesmoses, and (3) interosseous membranes.
1- Suture: is a fibrous joint composed of a thin layer of dense irregular connective tissue. Sutures
unite the bones of the skull. An example is the coronal suture between the frontal and parietal bones.
2- Syndesmosis: is a fibrous joint in which there is a greater distance between the articulating
surfaces and more dense irregular connective tissue than in a suture. The dense irregular connective
tissue is typically arranged as a bundle (ligament) and the joint permits limited movement. One
example of a syndesmosis is the distal tibiofibular joint, where the anterior tibiofibular ligament
connects the tibia and fibula.
3- Interosseous membranes: a substantial sheet of dense irregular connective tissue that binds
neighboring long bones and permits slight movement (amphiarthrosis). There are two principal
interosseous membrane joints in the human body. One occurs between the radius and ulna in the
forearm and the other occurs between the tibia and fibula in the leg
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 18
Types of Cartilaginous Joints
Like a fibrous joint, a cartilaginous joint allows
little or no movement. There are two types of
cartilaginous joints;
1- Synchondrosis is a cartilaginous joint in which
the connecting material is hyaline cartilage. An
example of a synchondrosis is the epiphyseal
(growth) plate that connects the epiphysis and
diaphysis of an elongating bone.
2- Symphysis: is a cartilaginous joint in which
the ends of the articulating bones are covered
with hyaline cartilage, but the bones are
connected by a broad, flat disc of fibrocartilage.
The pubic symphysis between the anterior
surfaces of the hip bones is one example of a
symphysis.
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 19
Characteristics of Synovial Joints
Synovial joints have certain characteristics that distinguish them from other joints. The unique
characteristic of a synovial joint is the presence of a space called a synovial ( joint) cavity between the
articulating bones. Synovial joints have the following characteristics;
1. The bony articular surface are covered by articular cartilage and not attached to each other.
2. The bony articular surfaces are connected with each other by tubular fibrous capsule (Articular
capsule).
3. The fibrous capsule is lined by mesothelial membrane called synovial membrane. This membrane
does not cover the articular cartilage covering the articular bony ends.
4. Between the articular bones a specific joint cavity is present which is lined by synovial membrane.
The joint cavity is filled with fluid secreted by synovial membrane.
5. The joint capsule in strengthened by the presence of accessory ligament.
6. The joint cavity may be divided partially or completely by an articular disc composed of white fibro
cartilage.
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 20
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 21
Knee Joint
Types of synovial joint
According to the structural classification the synovial joint can be divided into 7 varieties
1. Plane joints: These are formed by the opposition of fairly flat articular surfaces e.g. Intermetatarsal joint
2. Hinge Joints: They roughly resemble the hinge of a door where the articulating surface are so molded
that they restrict the to and fro movement to one plane. The sides of the joint are typically provided
with strong collateral ligaments, e.g. Elbow joint, Interphalangeal joints.
3. Pivot Joint: These are uni axial joints. They are composed of pivot surrounded by an osteoligamentous
ring. Movement is restricted to a rotation around a longitudinal axis passing through the centre of the
pivot. E.g. Atlanto Axial Joint.
4. Condylar or condyloid Joints: Here two condyles are received into two concave cavities. It allows
principal movement occurring in one plane. E.g. Knee joint.
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 22
SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 23
5. Ellipsoid Joint: These are biaxial joints formed by reception of an oval convex surface into an elliptical
concavity. E.g. Radiocarpal joint.
6. Saddle Joint: These are biaxial joint which are formed by reception of cancavo convex opposing
surfaces. E.g. Ankle joint.
7. Ball and socket joint: They are poly axial joint and are formed by reception of globular head into a
cup like concavity or socket. E.g. Shoulder and Hip Joint.

There are two types of cartilaginous joints; 1- Synchondrosis is a cartilaginous joint in which the connecting material is hyaline cartilage. An example of a synchondrosis is the epiphyseal (growth) plate that connects the epiphysis and diaphysis of an elongating bone. 2- Symphysis: is a cartilaginous joint in which the ends of the articulating bones are covered with hyaline cartilage, but the bones are connected by a broad, flat disc of fibrocartilage. The pubic symphysis between the anterior surfaces of the hip bones is one example of a symphysis. SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 19
  • 20. Characteristics of Synovial Joints Synovial joints have certain characteristics that distinguish them from other joints. The unique characteristic of a synovial joint is the presence of a space called a synovial ( joint) cavity between the articulating bones. Synovial joints have the following characteristics; 1. The bony articular surface are covered by articular cartilage and not attached to each other. 2. The bony articular surfaces are connected with each other by tubular fibrous capsule (Articular capsule). 3. The fibrous capsule is lined by mesothelial membrane called synovial membrane. This membrane does not cover the articular cartilage covering the articular bony ends. 4. Between the articular bones a specific joint cavity is present which is lined by synovial membrane. The joint cavity is filled with fluid secreted by synovial membrane. 5. The joint capsule in strengthened by the presence of accessory ligament. 6. The joint cavity may be divided partially or completely by an articular disc composed of white fibro cartilage. SAUDI ELECTRONIC UNIVERSITY 20
  • 22. Types of synovial joint According to the structural classification the synovial joint can be divided into 7 varieties 1. Plane joints: These are formed by the opposition of fairly flat articular surfaces e.g. Intermetatarsal joint 2. Hinge Joints: They roughly resemble the hinge of a door where the articulating surface are so molded that they restrict the to and fro movement to one plane. The sides of the joint are typically provided with strong collateral ligaments, e.g. Elbow joint, Interphalangeal joints. 3. Pivot Joint: These are uni axial joints. They are composed of pivot surrounded by an osteoligamentous ring. Movement is restricted to a rotation around a longitudinal axis passing through the centre of the pivot. E.g. Atlanto Axial Joint. 4. Condylar or condyloid Joints: Here two condyles are received into two concave cavities. It allows principal movement occurring in one plane. E.g. Knee joint.

Saddle Joint: These are biaxial joint which are formed by reception of cancavo convex opposing surfaces. E.g. Ankle joint. 7. Ball and socket joint: They are poly axial joint and are formed by reception of globular head into a cup like concavity or socket. E.g. Shoulder and Hip Joint.
