What else can I help you with?
What type of muscles do long jumpers have?
fast-twitch NOT slow-twitch
What muscle fiber type is most likely to fatigue the fastest?
Type I muscles
Do most muscles contain a predominance of one skeletal muscle fiber type?
Most muscles contain a mixture of different skeletal muscle fiber types, primarily slow-twitch (Type I) and fast-twitch (Type II) fibers. However, certain muscles may exhibit a predominance of one fiber type depending on their function; for instance, endurance muscles like the soleus have more slow-twitch fibers, while power-oriented muscles like the quadriceps may have a higher proportion of fast-twitch fibers. The specific composition allows muscles to perform optimally for their intended activities.
Is Fast twitch muscles are for explosive type movements and are easily fatigued?
yes
How does the image and definition of the palfrey compare to the type of horse that Sir Lancelot might be riding?
fast twitch and slow twitch muscles.
Are there fast twitch muscles in your legs?
There are fast twitch muscles fibers in all of your muscles, especially in your legs.
Why do you get a twitch?
You can get a twitch from stimulation or damage to the muscles.
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.
Do marathon runners use fast twitch or slow twitch muscles?
Slow twitch
What does fibrillation?
when muscles twitch
What are the Fast twitch muscles and slow twitch muscles?
Fast twitch muscle fibres are ones used for sudden bursts of physical activity, such as sprinting or weight lifting. Slow twitch muscle fibres meanwhile are designed for extended periods of contraction, such as keeping a person's head supported or maintaining a standing posture. Physiological differences between the two fibres are largely down to their different energy requirements. Slow twitch fibres have more surrounding capillaries, more mitochondria and a larger amount of myoglobin within the muscle (causing them to be red in color). Meanwhile fast twitch fibres have a store of glycogen to provide a quick burst of energy when the muscles come into action.
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!
