The muscles know as Type IIx (also known as type IId), which is less dense in mitochondria and myoglobin. This is the fastest muscle type in humans. It can contract more quickly and with a greater amount of force than oxidative muscle, but can sustain only short, anaerobic bursts of activity before muscle contraction becomes painful (often incorrectly attributed to a build-up of lactic acid). N.B. in some books and articles this muscle in humans was, confusingly, called type IIB.

The muscle with the fastest reaction time is the muscles used to close your eyelids. These are very close to the brain which is one reason why they are so quick. The other reason is if an object is seen coming towards the eye, it will close to prevent severe damage from occurring. Sometimes you will not even notice your eyes closing and then you are hit by something.

How does the body build muscle or lose muscle?

You can build muscle by working out parts of your body like lift weights or use any kind of resistance that causes tension in your muscles and you loose muscle if you don't eat enough because your muscles need calories to burn and you also lose muscle when you go a real long time without working out.But it's not tension that builds muscle, it's OVERLOAD.
