- Skeletal Muscle: Voluntary muscles that are attached to bones and are responsible for movement. They are striated and can be further classified into slow-twitch and fast-twitch fibers. - Cardiac Muscle: Involuntary muscle found only in the heart. It is striated Show more…

If you decided to "bulk up" with a dedicated weight-lifting regimen, would the larger muscles you develop be due to growing more muscle cells or having the muscle cells you have grow larger? If your goal was to become an "endurance" athlete, what type of training should you select to increase performance? What kind of muscle fibers would be targeted to maximize performance, and why does the type of training you selected benefit those particular muscle fibers? If your goal was to become a "power" athlete, what type of training should you select to increase performance? What kind of muscle fibers would be targeted to maximize performance, and why does the type of training you selected benefit those particular muscle fibers? What is rigor mortis? Describe its cause at the molecular level, based on what you know about the process of muscle contraction and the information within the textbook.

Explain the characteristics of the three types of muscle fiber: slow twitch, fast twitch oxidative and fast twitch glycolytic. Include in your answer: • Note the color of muscle fiber, the rate of contraction, the sustainability of contraction that are characteristic of each. • Explain differences in metabolism, differences in the distribution of capillaries and mitochondria. • Give an example of what types of activities promote each of these fibers. • Describe the difference in distribution of these fibers between the sexes.

A. Explain the characteristics of the three types of muscle fiber: slow twitch, fast twitch oxidative and fast twitch glycolytic. Include in your answer: Note the color of muscle fiber, the rate of contraction, the sustainability of contraction that are characteristic of each. Explain differences in metabolism, differences in the distribution of capillaries and mitochondria. Give an example of what types of activities promote each of these fibers. Describe the difference in distribution of these fibers between the sexes. B. Describe the knee joint. Be specific. Include in your answer: The kinds of joints that make up the knee joint as well as the bones that make up this joint. The location of the knee joint. The types of movement possible. Name associated tendons, ligaments and menisci and how they are positioned in the knee.
