What are the muscles that are slow in contraction and relaxation?
smooth muscle
How are the short length and slow movement in muscles like digestive organs?
The muscles in organs are called smooth muscle. Smooth muscle has short length and slow movement. It is involuntary unlike skeletal muscle.
Do marathon runners use fast twitch or slow twitch muscles?
Slow twitch
Do slow twitch muscles have a higher concentration of mitochondria compared to fast twitch muscles?
Yes, slow twitch muscles generally have a higher concentration of mitochondria compared to fast twitch muscles. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in cells, and slow twitch muscles require more energy for sustained, endurance activities.
What are the three muscle fiber types?
Type 1 (slow twitch oxidative) , type 2a (fast twitch oxidative) and type 2b (fast twitch glycolytic).
What type of muscles do long jumpers have?
fast-twitch NOT slow-twitch
Do all human muscles contain fast and slow muscle fibers?
Yes Such as in weight traning if you train your fast twitch you will recover faster but fast is more muscle strength not really size if your looking for size in muscles go with slow twitch
Can you describe the functional difference between fast and slow twitch muscles and how it impacts athletic performance?
Fast twitch muscles contract quickly and are used for explosive movements, while slow twitch muscles contract more slowly and are used for endurance activities. Athletes with a higher proportion of fast twitch muscles may excel in activities requiring quick bursts of power, such as sprinting or weightlifting, while those with more slow twitch muscles may perform better in endurance activities like long-distance running or cycling. The ratio of fast to slow twitch muscles can impact an athlete's performance in different sports based on the specific demands of the activity.
What is the function of the muscle cells in the stomach?
Smooth muscles produce a slow movement of the stomach mixing the contents. This muscle is not voluntary as you do not have to think about it as you do with your legs and arm muscles.
Can you contract your smooth and cardiac muscles on purpose?
Smooth Muscles can, but Cardiac Muscles can not.
When motor is in gear it is very slow when in neutral it is fast and smooth?
check your gearbox, it might be clogged or something
Why is the three toed sloth the slowest mammal?
Well, I'm not completely sure of this, but in my science class we were talking about slow- twitch muscles (like your esophagus for example) and fast twitch muscles (like your leg muscles). Anyway, I asked do sloths have slow twitch muscles in their legs, and he said to look it up, so I did, and it turns out they do! So the reason is they have slow twitch gastrocnemus (calf) muscles!
