105
Q

Glycolytic fibres use … for energy source.

A

glycolysis (Break down of glucose into ATP)

106
Q

Why are glycolytic fibres white?

A

Because glycolytic fibres use glycolysis for energy rather than aerobic respiration there is less O2. Less O2 means less myoglobin (which is a red-brown colour) making the muscle white.

108
Q

What types of skeletal muscles have a fast contraction speed?

A

Fast oxidative and fast glycolytic.

109
Q

What is Henneman’s size principle?

A

When exposed to a stimulus, small motor units (within a motor unit pool) are recruited first because they reach their threshold sooner. With greater excitatory input the number of motor units increase, and the size of the recruited motor units increase.

173
Q

Which bone cell is also a stem cell?

A

Osteogenic cells.

174
Q

Which bone cell am I?
I am a very large cell
I have many nuclei
I breakdown the bone matrix, destroy and resorb bone

A

Osteoclast

175
Q

… respond to mechanical stress
‘Dig tunnels’ to be lined with collagen by the osteoblasts

A

osteoclasts

176
Q

Trabeculae

183
Q

Does trabecular or compact bone store calcium?

A
