Muscle- Part 3 Flashcards
What is the type of skeletal muscle that is red?
Type 1
What type of skeletal muscle is slow contracting and slow fatiguing fibers?
Type 1

Type 2a
What type of skeletal muscle is fast contracting and slow fatiguing? (Between red and white)
Type 2a
What type of skeletal muscle is used for walking?
Type 2a
What type of skeletal muscle that is white?
Type 2b
Why is type 2 skeletal muscle called white?
High glycogen concentration
What type of skeletal muscle is fast contracting, fast fatiguing fibers?
Type 2b
What type of skeletal muscle has a rapid reaction capacity but short duration?
Type 2b
What type of skeletal muscle has few mitochondria and capillaries= low oxidative capacity?
Ex: Muscles used for sprinting
Type 2b
T/F: Most muscles in the body are a mixture of different muscle fiber types
True
What can happen to muscle fibers as a result of training?
Type 2b to Type 2a
What is the group of neuronal cell bodies of all motor units from a single muscle?
Motor neuron pool
What is an Alfa motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervate?
Motor unit
