Q

Characteristics of type ll fast twitch muscle fibers (7)

A
  1. Lower in capillaries, mitochondria and myoglobin
  2. Decreased oxygen delivery
  3. Larger in size
  4. Produce more force
  5. Quick to fatigue
  6. Short-term contraction (force and power)
  7. Fast twitch, white fibers
17
Q

Muscle fiber type responsible for producing long-term contractions necessary for stabilization and postural control

A

Type l slow twitch

18
Q

Muscle fiber type responsible for producing movements requiring force and power such as a sprint

A

Type ll fast twitch

19
Q

The manner in which muscle fibers are situated in relation to the tendon

A

Muscle fiber arrangement

20
Q

Pennation

A

Muscle fibers that run at an angle to the tendon instead of in the same direction

21
Q

This type of muscle has a full belly, tapers off at either end. The fiber arrangement parallels the direction of the muscle and tendon (line of pull) and enables the force production by the fibers to pull in the same direction as the line of pull. Example, bicep brachii

22
Q

(Muscle type) Fusiform, describe the muscle fiber arrangement

A

Parallel to direction of tendon

23
Q

(Muscle type) Fan-shaped, describe the muscle fiber arrangement

A

From broad attachment to narrow, pectoralis major

24
Also know as convergent or radiate, muscle fibers span out from a borrow attachment at one end to a broad attachment at the other end, creating various angles of pull, example pectoralis majore
Fan-shaped
25
Long strap like muscles, their fibers run parallel to the line of pull. Example
Longitudinal | Starorius
26
A four-sided muscle that is usually flat. The muscle fiber arrangement is parallel to the line of pull, example
Quadrilateral | Rhomboid
27
This type of muscle has a short, oblique muscle fibers that extend from one side of a long tendon, the fibers run obliquely to the line of pull of the muscle tendon. Example
Unipenniform | Posterior tibialis
28
Short oblique muscle fibers that extend from both sides of a long tendon, the pull of the muscle fibers runs oblique to the line of the pull of the tendon, example
Bipenniform | Rectusfemoris
29
Muscles with multiple tendons with oblique running muscle fibers, pull of the muscle fibers runs obliquely to the line of pull of the tendon muscle, example
Multipenniform | Deltoid
30
