Types of Muscle

o Cardiac
 Striated muscle (regular array of actin and myosin in the sarcomeres)
 Each muscle has a single, centered nucleus
 Cells are connected by intercalated discs

o Skeletal
 Hundreds of randomly located nuclei per cell (cells fuse together in development)
 Striated

o Smooth
 Single nuclei
 Not striated

describe the muscle levels of organization and components (largest to smallest)

muscle covered with epimysium
made up of fascicles (bundle of cells) covered in perimysium
made up of muscle fibers (cells) covered in endomysium
myofibrils (made of molecular motors) make up each muscle fiber and sarcomeres are contained in each myofibril

blood vessels line in between the connective tissue coverings in between the fascicles
sarcolemma is the cell membrane of muscles with invaginations (t tubules) that go into the cells
sarcoplasmic reticulum stores calcium

Muscle Connective tissue coverings

epimysium- covers whole muscle (allows muscles to contract with respect to each other without friction between them)

perimysium- covers the fascicles

endomysium- covers each muscle fiber

tendons- formed by the fusion of these 3 connective tissues

malignant hypothermia

too much calcium is released and not stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum so muscle keeps contracting and generating heat

sarcomere construction

• Actin filaments (thin filaments) are held at the Z line
• Myosin (molecular motor) makes up the thick filament and is located on the A band
o I band only has thin filaments
o A band- mostly thick filaments with some areas where thick and thin filaments overlap
o Z line are thick vertical lines
o H zone/band- only thick filaments
o M line- holds thick filaments together

What changes in a sarcomere when a muscle contracts?

o The entire sarcomere decreases in width
o A band is the same width
o Z lines are closer together
o I band decreases in width
o Whole sarcomere decreases in width

Uncovering the myosin binding site for muscle contraction

Actin (thin) filaments are made of G proteins with binding sites for myosin that are covered up with tropomyosin when the muscle is relaxed

sarcolemma receives an electrical impulse that releases acetylcholine which causes a change in membrane potential that travels to the t tubules that connects directly to the sarcoplasmic reticulum

sarcoplasmic reticulum then releases calcium

calcium causes a conformation change which causes tropomyosin to be released and the binding site to be uncovered

muscle contraction -> relaxation
(starting after the myosin binding site is uncovered)

myosin binding sites are uncovered

ATP oxidation (ADP + Pi -> ATP)causes myosin to flip up in the activated position so actin can bind and begin the power stroke (pulls thin filaments in towards the center)

ATP hydrolysis (ATP-> ADP + Pi) causes ACh to be removed

sarcoplasmic reticulum recaptures calcium

myosin binding site on the actin filament are covered by tropomyosin

contraction ends

rigormortis

no more ATP is left 8-12 hours after death to replace the ADP on the myosin head, so there is no relaxation in muscle tissues

Central nervous system (CNS) vs peripheral nervous system (PNS)

CNS- brain and spinal cord, develops from neural tube
integrates sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) information

PNS- formed from neural crest cells that migrated from the neural tube
 Somatic (innervated skeletal muscle), autonomic (innervates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands), and sensory ganglia brings information into the nervous system
connected to receptors and effectors

schwann cells

PNS
develop from neural crests
myelinate peripheral axons (form protective covering for all axons)

disease that affect peripheral myelin usually go away

oligodendrocytes

cells that myelinate axons of the CNS
diseases of the CNS myelin are usually contiguous (ex. multiple sclerosis goes on and off but is usually progressive)

Peripheral Nervous system (PNS)

Spinal nerves (below the neck)- sensory and motor

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS, innervates things that are automatic, spinal or cranial nerves, ex. salivation)- sympathetic and parasympathetic

Cranial nerves (generally innervate the things in the head, ex. salivation)- come off the brain but innervate structures outside of the CNS

cauda equina

(“horse’s tail”)= nerve roots at the lower part of the spinal cord (lumbar and sacrum)

At birth the spinal cod has equal length as the vertebra (spinal cord and spinal nerve labels match their places in the vertebral column)

As an adult the spinal cord ends at the L1/L2 vertebrae since the spinal cord grows much slower then the vertebral column. Vertebrae pulls nerve roots down with it during development so the nerve roots still exit at their appropriate vertebrae

best place for a Lumbar puncture/spinal tap

lumbar puncture/spinal tap

Best place to get cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is between L4 or L5 in the cauda equina because you can get CSF without puncturing the spinal cord since there is lots of CSF and only small nerve roots (like sticking a fork into cooking spaghetti)

meningeal arteries

blood vessels that run between the dura mater and the skull

 if one breaks they bleed between the dura and the skull- epidural hematoma (creating a space that shouldn't be there, arterial bleed so it compresses the brain pretty rapidly)

 Middle meningeal artery- between the dura and the temporal bone
• Artery that breaks if someone gets hit in the temporal part of the head

duravenus sinuses

normally occurring and blood drains from bridging veins from the brain and the subarachnoid space into these sinuses that eventually form the jugular vein

 If a brain shrinks (can happen with aging and dementia) then the bridging veins stretch and if someone hits their head, then the veins will rupture and cause a subdural hematoma

• Subdural hematoma- slow bleed, person becomes confused, major problems later, serious but difficult to diagnose
• Bleeds into the subdural space

subarachnoid hematoma

o Arteiries in brain also travel through the subarachnoid space
 Artery break- subarachnoid hematoma
• Weakness in walls of arteries of high blood pressure

brain stem

consists of the midbrain (processes visual and auditory data), pons (relays sensory information to cerebellum and thalamus) and medulla (relays sensory information to thalamus)

origin of all cranial nerves (except I and II)

many nervous pathways travel through the brainstem

levels of the spinal cord

31 levels of the spinal cord (each level gives off mixed spinal nerves (motor and sensory))

8 cervical spinal cord levels (7 cervical vertebrae)
12 thoracic spinal cord levels (1 for each rib)
5 lumbar levels
5 sacral levels
1-2 coccygeal levels (usually considered to have 1)

white vs gray matter in the spinal cord

White matter (axons) are on the outside of the spinal cord carrying sensory info up to the brains and motor info down to the limbs

Gray matter-cell bodies (sensory info enters at the dorsal root via the dorsal horn (dorsal root ganglia are sensory cell bodies), ventral part of gray matter contains motor neuron cell bodies that exit the spinal cord at the ventral root)

Spinal cord nerve roots

Dorsal root ganglia- sensory cell bodies
Dorsal root- bringing info into the spinal cord (sensory neurons, unipolar)
Ventral root- axons of motor neurons, goes directly to muscles

Mixed spinal nerves- signals to and from the goal location (everywhere neck down), travel in the same nerve in opposite directions like a highway, made by dorsal and ventral roots joining, split into dorsal and ventral rami

Dorsal rami-only innervates deep back muscles, erector spinae muscles, skin of midline of the back

Ventral rami- much larger than dorsal, innervates everything else that isn’t covered by dorsal rami (neck and below), can go off on their own or form plexi (how upper and lower extremities are innervated)

upper extremity nerves

all from the brachial plexus

musculocutaneous- flexors of arm (biceps and brachialis)

median- most flexors of the wrist, lateral phalanges, most thumb muscles. passes through the carpal tunnel

ulnar- some flexor of the wrist, all flexors of medial phalanges (funny bone, medial side of humerus)

radial- all extensors of the upper extremity

axillary- deltoid and part of the rotator cuff

dermatomes

o dermatome- sensory information from a single dorsal root
If you injure a dorsal root you get a dermatome pattern of sensory losses

shingles-the virus lives in a dorsal root and becomes activated and comes out of a dorsal root to cause painful symptoms along a dermatome (single stripe pattern on skin)

major nerve plexi and what they innervate

all are made from ventral rami

cervical plexus: C1-C5, innervates strap muscles
brachial plexus: C5-T1, innervates the entire upper extremity, has 5 branch nerves
T2-T12 we don't form plexi, just intercostal nerves
Lumbar plexus: L1-L5, innervates abdominal muscles
Sacral Plexus: S1-S4
Lumbosacral plexus- gives rise to sciatic nerve which innervates the entire lower extremity

Lumbar and sacral plexi

five rise to the following nerves

femoral nerve- innervates quadriceps

obturator nerve- innervates adductors

sciatic nerve- L4 to S3 (largest nerve in the body)
innervates hamstrings
gives rise to: tibial nerve (innervates all flexors), and fibular nerve (innervates all extensors)

sacral nerve damage- bladder and bowel problems due to parasympathetic innervations

autonomic nervous system (ANS)

all glands and smooth muscle innervations and cardiac muscle
parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems

both parasymp and symp divisions have 2 motor neurons between the spinal cord and the effectors (the first motor neuron (preganglionic) synapses with the second motor neuron (postganglionic) in the ANS ganglia

parasympathetic vs sympathetic nervous systems

Sympathetic- go everywhere (innervated sweat glands in skin that are located everywhere), preganglionic sympathetics located in 14 thoracolumbar (T1-L2 in CNS), in chain that extends the entire length of the trunk, Every spinal nerve from C1 to coccygeal must have sympathetic innervations

Parasympathetic- in head in places that drip [pupil of eye, lacrimal gland (tears), salivary gland], vagus nerve (heart, lungs), sacral nerve (bowel and bladder)
go to oculomotor nerve (constrict pupils) and facial nerve (glands(

3 things every spinal nerve has

motor fibers for muscle
postganglionic sympathetic fibers to innervate sweat glands in skin
sensory fibers for sensation

central sulcus

groove that separates the frontal and parietal lobes

primary motor cortex

part of the motor areas to the cerebral cortex

located in the precentral gyrus of each frontal lobe

controls impulses to muscles

• A lot of cortex controls the face, fingers
• Medially controls toes and lower extremities
• Lateral cerebral cortex stroke- effects of facial expression, speech (left side), movements of hands and fingers
o Problems with motor control on the opposite side

 Premotor (or motor association) cortex- programs of motor movement are made

broca's speech area

part of the motor areas to the cerebral cortex

located anterior to the primary motor cortex

initiates impulses that result in speech

• Lateral cerebral cortex stroke- effects of facial expression, speech (left side), movements of hands and fingers

primary somatosensory cortex

part of the sensory areas to the cerebral cortex

determines where on the body the sensory stimulation occurred

mostly devoted to hands and face

primary auditory area

part of the sensory areas to the cerebral cortex

in the temporal lobe

interprets auditory stimuli from auditory receptors

primary gustatory area

part of the sensory areas to the cerebral cortex

receives impulses from taste receptors

prefrontal cortex

primary olfactory area

located on in the temporal lobe

part of the sensory areas to the cerebral cortex

wernicke's area

part of the association areas to the cerebral cortex

recognize spoken words, translates words into thoughts, and possibly helps us sound out strange or new words

somatosensory, visual, and auditory association areas

part of the association areas to the cerebral cortex

adjacent to their corresponding sensory cortex

integrate sensory information from the sensory cortex with past experiences

commissural pathways

crossing pathways from one side of the brain to the other

o Corpus callosum (connects 2 cerebral hemispheres)- major commissure
 Almost everything in the right cortex contributes info to the left cortex via crossing fibers
o Optic chiasm is another example

projection pathways

o Projects from higher to lower
o Like for your cerebral cortex (motor cortex) to tell your muscles what to do you need fibers that go from the cortex to the spinal cord (motor neurons for muscles are in the spinal cord, for these neurons to fire they need a signal from the cortex)
o Projection pathways- north to south or south to north

association pathways

connect parts of our brain on the same side

ex. seeing and interpreting what your hand is writing

basal ganglia disease

huntington's disease

the patient cannot suppress unwanted movements

• Basal ganglia (deeper nuclei, gray matter)- suppresses unwanted movement

cerebellum

2 hemispheres with the vermis connecting them

regulates posture and balance, smooths and coordinates skilled skeletal muscle movements

diencephalon

2 main regions: thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus

thalamus- gets all sensory infor except olfaction (olfaction needs to be faster for survival)
suppresses unwanted sensory infor- allows for focus, selects what sensory info is important and sends it to the cerebral cortex

hypothalamus- control many bodily functions and homeostasis
contains the optic chiasm- where the optic nerve crosses

epithalamus- contains some glands

epidural hematoma

head trauma (brain swelling, broken artery) causes the brain to squish to the only space available which compresses the oculomotor nerve

uncus is a piece of the temporal lobe that herniates if the brain swells which pushes on the oculomotor nerve
o Pupils cannot compress and stay dilated and are not responsive to light

acoustic schwannoma

tumor of Schwann cells (peripheral nervous system cells), compresses nerve VIII (vestibulocochlear and facial VII), and can affect the cerebellopontine angle (angle between the cerebellum (important for coordination) and the pons)
• Nerve damage causes uncoordinated gate, droopy face, hearing loss, ringing in the ears can only all happen together at the cerebellopontine angle

path of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF)

CSF leaks out of the choroid plexus blood vessels
ependymal cells with cilia push the CSF in one direction into the lateral ventricle

the CSF then moves into the 3rd ventricle then into the 4th ventricle via cerebral aqueducts

the CSF then goes into the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain and spinal cord (CSF follows the central canal of the spinal cord then goes back into the subarachnoid space)

CSF it then returned to the blood through arachnoid villi located at the superior sagittal sinus

olfactory nerve I

• Usually if you have a problem with one olfactory nerve then the other one will take over

You may regenerate olfactory neurons (but not any others)
Olfactory nerves are tiny branches that are attached to receptors, axons go through the cribriform plate then form into the olfactory nerve
What we often call the olfactory nerve is actually the olfactory tract (CNS)

Test by having a patient smell something through one nostril at a time

purely sensory

goes straight to the cerebrum for processing (only sensory nerve that doesn't go through the thalamus)

optic nerve II

Optic nerve starts in the retina ((retinal ganglion cells give rise to the optic nerve [myeleinated by an oligodendrocyte which speeds up conduction in the CNS]). Optic nerve is very fast conducting nerve

Actually a CNS tract

Right visual field process on the left side of the brain, visa versa

Tested using visual fields, doctors move fingers from lateral to medial parts of visual fields

multiple sclerosis

CNS disease affecting myelination and oligodendrocytes

deteriorates CNS myelin and is first noticed in the optic nerve since conduction is usually so fast

optic chiasm

when the optic nerve crossed over in the brain above the pituitary gland (commissure). Optic nerve comes from the lateral part of your visual field.

Pituitary gland tumors causes “tunnel vision” which limits your vision into the center of your visual field due to damage to the optic chiasm, damages the crossing fibers

Oculomotor, Trochlear, and Abducens (III, IV, and VI) cranial nerves

Always tested together, more extra-ocular muscles

Oculomotor- innervates the levator palpebrae (oculomotor lesion would cause trouble elevating the eyelid) and 4 extra ocular muscles and pupil (parasympathetic, constrict)
Oculomotor Damage- causes droopy eyelid (ptosis) and a dilated pupil

Trochlear lesion- Can’t look down and in (trouble reading)
Abducens- abducts the eye, cannot abduct both eyes are the same time (one abducts and the other stays neutral)

test these by observing eyelids (ptosis is abnormal), moving eye in different directions, and making sure pupil constricts

trigeminal nerves (V)

main sensory nerve to the head, motor to muscles of mastication (gives you sensation on your face)

• Ophthalmic nerve (afferent, corneal blink reflex with facial nerve)- innervates forehead and cornea
o Test afferent by putting a whisp of cotton on their eye to get them to blink or tap forhead
o Afferent=ophthalmic, efferent=facial -> V-VII reflex

• Maxillary nerve- innervates the upper teeth, cheek, around the nose (purely sensory)

• Mandibular division- lower teeth, chin, motor component
o Trigeminal motor component- muscles of mastication (chewing, temporalis, masseter)
test by tapping chin

facial nerve (VII)

motor to muscles of facial expression, taste, anterior 2/3 of tongue, ANS to lacrimal submandibular and (sublingual)salivary glands

Innervates muscles of facial expression- test it by having the patient make faces or by testing the corneal blink reflex

Carries taste, autonomic to the lacrimal gland and 2 of the salivary glands

corneal blink refllex (V-VII)
shutting the eye is a muscle (nerve VII) for facial expression (open with III-oculomotor), puff of air causes patient to blink which tests facial nerve

vestibulocochlear (VIII) nerve

purely sensory

Tumor on VII cranial nerve- dizziness, ringing in ears, hearing loss
Acoustic Schwannomas

glossopharyngeal (IX)

sensory to pharynx (back or throat, or motor to 1 small pharynx muscle)
taste, posterior 1/3 of tongue
visceral sensory

Test using the gag reflex (IX-X reflex)- sticks a tongue depressor on the tongue to push it down and see the back of the throat and make you gag
Afferant- IX (vagus), constricts pharynx
Efferent- causes gag (X)

vagus nerve (X)

Motor:larynx and pharynx
ANS: visceral organs
Sensory:visceral organs
Taste

Vagabond: wanders out of the head to innervate the pharynx and larynx (swallowing and speaking)
Parasympathetic to all the organs down to the the small intestine
Tested using the gag reflex (IX-X reflex)

Accessory and hypoglossal nerves (XI and XII)

Accessory (XI)- innervates sternocleidomastoid (test by having the look from side to side) and trapezius (check by putting hands on pts shoulder and having them shrug against resistance)

Hypoglossal (XII)- innervates the muscles on the tongue, test by sticking the tongue out and having the patient move it from side to side, damage on one side has the tongue pointed towards the side of the lesion

3 coats of the eye

fibrous (cornea=clear layer, sclera= opaque layer)

choroid (highly vascular, gives rise to iris and ciliary body)

retinal layer (inner, sensory (photo) receptors)

conjunctiva

connective tissue layer that lines the eyelid, makes a bend and reflects over the sclera, does not go over the cornea (or you wouldn’t be able to see)
 Contact lenses can get stuck behind the ledge

path of light through the eye

o Light goes through the cornea, through the anterior chamber of the eye through fluid, through the pupil, through the lens where its focused, through the vitreous (eye jelly) then to the retina

aqueous humor

o Aqueous humor- circulating fluid, produced by cells in Ciliary body, circulated then is reabsorbed in the canal of schlemm
 If the canal of schlemm is blocked then pressure builds in the eye and causes glaucoma

ear

o Middle ear has ossicles (tiny bones) that vibrate with sound waves and that vibration is transduced to pressure waves which is then transduced to an electrical signal in the cochlea
o Hair cells run against the tectorial membrane to transmit sound
o 2 tiny muscles (tensor tipany, )that are in the ear that contract with very large sounds to dampen the sound and damaging the cochlea

extra-ocular muscles

• innervated by the cranial nerves III (oculomotor), IV (trochlear), VI (abducens)
• ocular motor nerve- droopy eye lid, opens the eye (lavatory palpebrae)
• lateral rectus- abducens nerve, that abducts, lets the eye move laterally
