Question
Chapter 22.2, Problem 8CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The type of smooth muscle cell found in the muscularis externa and the characteristics making it well-suited for that location.
Introduction:
There are two types of smooth muscle cell, namely, unitary smooth muscle cell and multi-unit muscle cell.The alimentary canal is composed of 4 layers, which are mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa. Each layer has a specific role in the breakdown of food. The muscularis help in the forward movement of food for digestion.

Muscle Physiology
Some skeletal muscle fibers are “fast-twitch” fibers (white fibers), and others are “slow-twitch” (red) fibers. Would you expect an athlete proficient in running the 100-yard dash to have a greater proportion of red fibers or white fibers in muscles of the leg? Why?

Maximal stimulus
Threshold stimulus
Submaximal stimulus
A skeletal muscle can be stimulated, under laboratory conditions, with a supramaximal stimulus. Is it possible for the muscle to respond with a supramaximal contraction? Explain
Define a motor unit. Of what physiological advantage is a small motor unit arrangement in skeletal muscle?
Explain why a latent period is observed between the application of a stimulus and contraction of the stimulated muscle.
