Which kind of muscle fibers contract rapidly?
fast twitch
Which fibers are primarily responsible for producing lactic acid?
Type IIB fast glycolytic fibers
What is aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic means respiration that occurs with oxygen and anaerobic means without oxygen. They are both used by different muscles in our bodies. Aerobic is used by Fast Twitch Type B, and anaerobic by Fast Twitch Type A and Slow Twitch muscles.
Why is the reflex arc important to protect the body?
because it makes you react quickly by using fast twitch fibres in your body which makes your muscles react.
Euglena's defense mechanism?
it can move very fast and it is very small compared to its predators- frogs, baby fish, tadpoles
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.
Do cheetahs have mostly slow-twitch or fast-twitch muscles?
Fast twitch fibers
What is the difference between fast twitch and slow twitch muscles?
Fast-twitch fibers can deliver a quick burst of power.Slow-twitch fibers can maintain a contraction for a longer time! -Apex :]
What race has the most fast twitch fibers?
Sprints like 100- 400 meters use the most fast twitch fibers.
What is the difference between fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers?
ofcourse not; slow twitch muscle fibers are: * smaller in diameter * red in color * depend on oxidative phosphorylation for their ATP supply * are highly vascularized (better blood supply) * have more mitochondria * more myoglobin fast twitch muscle fibers * larger * white * glycolysis is the source of ATP * less vascularized * less mitochondria * less myoglobin
Why do fast twitch muscles fibers contract faster than slow twitch fibers?
Because they have a faster release of energy which causes them to slow down quicker. The twitch actually refers to the fatiguability of the fiber. So, fast twitch do produce more force, but tire 'fast'er than slow twitch, which are 'slow'er to fatigue Mark, BS Exercise Science
What are the three types of muscle fibers?
The three type of muscle fibers are fast-twitch, slow-twitch, and hybrid.
What are the kinds of aerobic respiration?
Slow twitch and fast twitch A muscle fibers.
What Type of Muscle Fibers are used in Badminton?
slow twitch and fast twitch
Are there fast twitch muscles in your legs?
There are fast twitch muscles fibers in all of your muscles, especially in your legs.
Are athletes the same as other people?
They tend to have more fast-twitch or slow-twitch fibers, depending on what kind of athlete they are.
What muscle fibers have fast contractions and a high level of glycogen stores?
fast-twitch fibers
