Slow-twitch fibers resist fatigue and keep contracted for long periods. Fast-twitch fibers provide force and fast contraction for short periods. Option C. timing of tension rise and fall.

<h3>What is the difference between slow-twitch and fast-twitch motor units?</h3>

 

There are two muscle fiber types in the skeletal muscle, and their function is not the same. These are

  • the fast-twitch
  • the slow-twitch

<u>Slow-twitch muscle fibers</u> - Type I-

  • These are small-sized fibers.
  • They provide low force and slow contraction.
  • These are fibers that resist fatigue and are in charge of sustained movements.
  • They get to their maximum tension slower.
  • Since their action is sustained for long periods, they need too much energy to keep working. This is why these cells have several mitochondria.
  • They can support long periods of contraction.

<u>Fast-twitch muscle fibers</u> - Type II-

  • These are large cells.
  • They provide high force and fast contraction.
  • They get to their maximum tension faster.
  • These fibers offer a more powerful force than the slow-twitch ones.
  • However, their duration is lower, and get to fatigue much faster. They offer short-period contractions.
  • They support powerful and fast movements, but for short periods.

According to this information, we can assume that the main difference between slow-twitch and fast-twitch motor units is the timing of tension rise and fall. Option C.

The backbone vertebrae, skull, and rib cage make up the _______ skeleton. Among other types of cells, bone marrow produces _____
Westkost [7]

Answer:

1. axial

2. red

3. Osteoblasts

4. osteoporosis

5. Ligaments

Explanation:

The axial skeleton consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate including skull, and rib cage.

Bone marrow produces red blood cells, which carry oxygen in the blood.

Osteoblasts can become osteocytes, which are the third type of bone cells.

Osteoporosis  is a bone resorption disease in which bones rapidly deconstruct faster than new bone tissue grows, and decreases the mechanical strength of bones.

Ligaments connects one bone to other at joint such as medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that joins knee.

Hence, the correct answer for the question is as follows:

1.axial

2. red

3. Osteoblasts

4. osteoporosis

5. Ligaments

The scientific method uses observation and which other process to answer questions?
katovenus [111]
We could say that there are five steps in scientific method: observation, hypothesis, prediction, experiment and conclusion. Observation is the first step and we could also call it research. In this step we must understand the problem in the right way. The hypothesis is the possible answer, based on the research. Prediction is even more specific than the hypothesis: on this stage, you must know how will you demonstrate that your hypothesis is true. Experiment tests your hypothesis and shows whether your hypothesis was true or false. After that you can proceed to making conclusion, which summarizes the experiment's results, and tells do the results match up to hypothesis and in which way.
