Structural/ Functional Charactieristics Of Different Muscle Fibres Flashcards
1
Q
Motor neuron
A
Number of muscle fibres attached to a single nerve (more fibres more power)
2
Q
Contraction time
A
They speed at which fibres contract
3
Q
Resistance to fatigue
A
How quickly the fibres tire
4
Q
Mitochondria
A
Provides oxygen to fibres
5
Q
Capillary density
A
Where oxygen diffuses into the muscle (more capillaries more o2)
6
Q
Oxidative capacity
A
Ability of muscles to use o2 when exercised
7
Q
Glycolytic fibres
A
Muscles ability to use glycogen when working
