2 Primary Groups of Fiber Type Named By The Speed Action due to..
Different Myosin Atpase
Different level of Sacroplasmic Reticulum Development
What does faster myosin removal mean?
Corresponds to Fast Twitch Muscles
How does Sacroplasmic Recticulum relate to fiber type?
Fast twitch have better developed sacroplasmic reticulum. Calcium can be released in a wider area.
What is stored in the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum?
Stores Calcium and releases it.
Slow Twitch Muscle name?
Type I or
Slow Oxidated
Fast Twitch A Name?
Type IIA or
Fast Oxidated Glycolytic
Fast Twitch B Name?
Type IIX or
Fast Glycolytic
How is a fiber type determined?
Muscle Biopsy

Small (10-100g) piece of muscle removed. Frozen, sliced, and examined under a microscope.
