Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which muscle type can contract rapidly with great force, BUT tires easily and must rest after short periods of activity.
A
skeletal
B
smooth
C
cardiac
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle is responsible for overall body mobility. It can contract rapidly, but it tires easily and must rest after short periods of activity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fast-twitch muscle fibers contain fewer capillaries and mitochondria and less myoglobin. This type of muscle fiber can contract rapidly and powerfully, but it fatigues very quickly.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two types of skeletal muscle fibers are slow-twitch (type I) and fast-twitch (type II). Slow-twitch muscle fibers support long distance endurance activities like marathon running, while fast-twitch muscle fibers support quick, powerful movements such as sprinting or weightlifting.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fast-twitch muscles use up a lot of energy very quickly, then get tired (fatigued) and need a break.

Detailed explanation-5: -FG fibers are used to produce rapid, forceful contractions to make quick, powerful movements. These fibers fatigue quickly, permitting them to only be used for short periods. Note: Type IIb muscle fibers are actually type IIx fibers.
