The fastest a muscle fiber can contract is 0.01 seconds or less. However, this is not necessarily the speed that the actual muscle contracts at. For example, the human eyelid can only blink in 0.15 seconds.
Both fast oxidative and fast glycolytic muscle fibers are types of fast-twitch muscle fibers that contract quickly and generate a lot of force.
Fast-twitch muscle fibers.
They contract very quickly
They contract very quickly
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.
Fast-twitch muscle fibers contract rapidly due to their ability to generate high levels of force quickly. They are more suited for activities requiring short bursts of power, such as sprinting or weightlifting.
A living muscle needs oxygen in the blood and muscle elasticity to contract and move.
Smooth muscle cells contract in response to fluid flow.
it is tiny muscle fibers that contract and expand the muscle
No, as the muscle is dead (it doesn't contract like while the muscle is still alive either). However, it will contract if you give it an electrical "jump."
The muscle tissue's main function is to contract.
Somatic type of nerves stimulate the muscle cells to contract.
