slow twitch fibres and fast twitch fibres Flashcards
What are the srycture of slow twitch fibres?
= contains large store of myglobin rich blood supply many mitichondria
What is the location of slow twitchb muscles?
= calf muscles
What is the general properties?
= contract slower
= can respire aerobicaly for longer periods of time- rich blood supply and mygolbin,
=adapted for endurance work
=
What are the structure of fast twitch muscles?
= thicker and more myosin filaments
= large store of glycogen,
= store of phosocreatine to help make ATP from ADP or pi high concentration of enzymes for respiration
where is the location of gast firbres?
= biceps
What are the general properties of the fast twitch?
= contract faster to provide shrot burtss of powerfcul contrction,
= adapted to intense excefcise
Why do fast muscles have alot of Atpase?
= rapid hydrplosis of ATP
= as these contracr fast
Why does slow muscles have a lot of ATpase?
= rapid sytnhsis of ATP
