What kind of muscle makes your heart?
You call it as cardiac muscles. The muscle fibers contract rhythmically. The muscle fibers are attached to each other end to end. This facilitates the conduction of the impulse. The muscle fiber can be stimulated to give you contraction of the the same.
What are slow twitch muscle fibers?
Our bodies are made up of different types of muscle fibers, all of which rely on different energy systems. Slow twitch fibers, as the name suggests, contract more slowly than fast twitch muscle fibers and they can contract for a longer period of time. We often call these 'endurance' muscles because they're great for aerobic activities that require endurance like running, cycling and swimming. In general, many of us will have about 50% slow twitch fibers and 50% fast twitch fibers, although it will differ between individuals. Successful long-distance runners will often have more slow twitch fibers while sprinters or bodybuilders will often have more fast twitch fibers. Strength training in different rep ranges (from 4-16) will allow you to work different muscle fibers and energy systems in your body.

What do you call the brush for watercolor?
When painting with watercolor, acrylic or oil paints, if using a 'brush' it is called a Paintbrush. A paintbrush is either comprised of natural fibers or synthetic.
What do you call thick nerve fibers?
darnmna
What shape are skeletal muscle fibers?
Each fiber is actually a muscle cell. They are found in bundles that form what we call muscles. These are also called skeletal muscles because when they contract and get shorter, the bones that they are attached to, move. And the bones are part of the skeletal system.
How do you get more muscles?
strength training helps get more muscle by recruiting more muscle fibers depending on the amount of weight you lift .as you add weight you call upon more motor units to innervate new muscle fibers.these muscles fill with blood that is hypertrophy if not used then atrophy will happen.shrinking of the muscle.
What muscle in your body that moves on their own we call them involuntary muscle?
heart muscle
Are there such things as partially contracted muscle fibers?
That is very good question! You do not have any thing like partially contracted muscle fibres, most probably. What you have got is partially contracted muscles. The muscle is more or less contracted as per the number of muscle fibres that are contracted at any given time.
What do you call collection of nerve fibers in the brain longitudinal in form?
stria
What is defibrillation?
Very rapid contractions or twitching of small muscle fibers in the heart often need to be stopped. A mechanism that does this is called a defibrillator. The act itself is call a defibrillation. Many times the top chambers of the heart go into fibrillation and are not as severe as the ones that occur in the bottom chambers called the ventricles. These must be stopped as quickly as possible.
What do you call the muscle that cover the heart?
The muscle that cover the heart is myocardium
