Are touch and pain from the primary sensory cortex?

How do you improve slow twitch and fast twitch muscle fibers?

They are different type of muscle fibres (US spelling Fibers). Fast twitch are good at contracting fast but fatigue quickly. Slow twitch contract more slowly but do not fatigue as fast. In athletes, sprinters tend to have a dominance of slow twitch fibres while insurance competitors have a dominance of slow twitch.

Do slow twitch muscles have a higher concentration of mitochondria compared to fast twitch muscles?

What is the difference between succession and slow succession?

Succession refers to the process of change in a biological community over time, typically following a disturbance. Slow succession simply refers to the gradual pace of this change compared to rapid or fast succession. Slow succession may take place over many years or even centuries, while rapid succession can occur more quickly, such as after a wildfire.
