Fast glycolytic Fibers:
Fast glycolytic fibers, also known as type IIb fibers, are a type of muscle fiber that are responsible for generating quick, powerful movements. These fibers are designed for anaerobic activities that require short bursts of intense energy, such as weightlifting, sprinting, and jumping.
Fast glycolytic fibers have several unique characteristics that allow them to produce high levels of force quickly. They are characterized by a high density of myofibrils, which are the contractile units of muscle cells, and a high concentration of enzymes involved in anaerobic glycolysis, which is the process of breaking down glucose for energy without oxygen.
Step by stepSolved in 3 steps
- Muscles relaxatiom occurs when acetylcholine is cleaved from its receptors ,calcium is pulled back into the sarcoplasmic recticulum,the myosin is released from its binding site ,and the muscle fiber returns to its resting lenght true or falsearrow_forwardA bands: Dark areas that correspond to the areas where thick filaments are present. • I hands: Light areas that contains only thin filaments. . Z line: A protein disk within the I band that anchors the thin filaments and connects adjacent myofibrils. • H zone: Located in the middle of each A band, this lighter stripe appears corresponding to the region between the thin filaments. • M line: Protein fibers that connect neighboring thick filaments. Sarcomeres: The region of the myofibril between two Z lines. ** Keep in mind, this information is crucial for your understanding of the sliding filament theory.arrow_forwardWhy is sarcoplasmic hypertrophy a limitation with size training? It adds more actin and myosin. It decreases glycogen content of the muscle cell. It adds mass that is not able to produce force. It results in greater stores of intracellular fat.arrow_forward
- Which of the following shortens in length during skeletal mucle contraction? select all that apply Action filaments H- zone A- band I- bandarrow_forwardWhich is the correct order from smallest to largest? Myofilament, Myocyte, Myofibril Myocyte, Myofilament, Myofibril Myocyte, Myofibril, Myofilament Myofilament, Myofibril, Myocytearrow_forwardClassify characteristics of skeletal muscle energy metabolism by dragging each statement to its correct metabolic pathway for ATP synthesis. Allows time for the other two pathways to increase their ATP production Reaction is catalyzed by creatine kinase Blood glucose and fatty acids become fuel for this pathway after 10 minutes of exercise Lactic acid is a waste product produced by this pathway Rapid means of forming ATP during the first few seconds of muscle contraction Very rapid, requiring only a single enzymatic reaction Produces ATP used during moderate, prolonged levels of muscular activity This pathway requires oxygen Produces a significant fraction of ATP during high-intensity Produces ATP from glucose quickly in the absence of охудen Uses glycogen broken down into glucose during the first 5-10 minutes of moderate exercise Produces only small quantities of ATP for each metabolized glucose molecule exercise Oxidative Phosphorylation Creatine Phosphate Glycolysis Resetarrow_forward
- Which of the following is thought to be cause of muscular fatigue? Decrease level of lactate within the muscle cell Decrease level of extracellular potassium outside of muscle cell Increased level of acetylcholinesterase in the synaptic cleft Increase level of intracellular ATP within muscle cell Increase level of phosphate within muscle cellarrow_forwardMatch each band or line with the type of myofilament with which its associatedarrow_forwardIn which type of muscle fibers is ATP synthesized aerobically in mitochondria? smooth cardiac skeletal all of the above 2. In which types of muscle fibers are action potentials transmitted from one cell to the next through gap junctions? unitary smooth and cardiac cardiac and skeletal skeletal and smooth 3. All types of muscle have actin and myosin, but not all types have sarcomeres." True Falsearrow_forward
