What are the two main muscule fiber types are called?

The two main muscle fiber types are slow-twitch (Type I) fibers and fast-twitch (Type II) fibers. Slow-twitch fibers are better for endurance activities as they are more resistant to fatigue, while fast-twitch fibers are better suited for explosive, powerful movements.


Why do slow twitch muscle fibers have more mitochondria compared to fast twitch muscle fibers?

Slow twitch muscle fibers have more mitochondria compared to fast twitch muscle fibers because they rely more on aerobic metabolism for energy production, which requires a higher number of mitochondria to generate ATP efficiently.


Why do slow twitch muscle fibers have more mitochondria than fast twitch muscle fibers?

Slow twitch muscle fibers have more mitochondria than fast twitch muscle fibers because they rely more on aerobic metabolism to produce energy for sustained, endurance activities. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through aerobic respiration. Since slow twitch fibers require more sustained energy production, they have more mitochondria to support this process compared to fast twitch fibers, which rely more on anaerobic metabolism for quick bursts of energy.


What type of muscle is involuntary single-ovoid nuclei slow-twitch and has spindle-shaped fibers?

The type of muscle described is smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is involuntary, has single-ovoid nuclei, and contains slow-twitch fibers with spindle-shaped cells. It is found in organs such as the digestive tract and blood vessels.


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.

What is the role of slow muscle fibers and fast muscle fibers in the response of a muscle to different types of exercise?

There are two broad types of voluntary muscle fibers: slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch fibers contract for long periods of time but with little force while fast twitch fibers contract quickly and powerfully but fatigue very rapidly.

Which muscle fibers are best suited for running a marathon?

Type I (red) muscle fibers, which have slow oxidative characteristics, are those primarily called on for long-distance running. These are more commonly referred to as 'slow-twitch' muscle fibers.


What type of fibers are present in supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles?

The supraspinatus muscle contains mostly type I (slow-twitch) muscle fibers, which are more fatigue-resistant and used for sustained contractions. The infraspinatus muscle contains a mix of type I and type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers, which are used for more powerful and quick contractions.
