Answer:

Left ventricle.

Explanation:

Blood pressure is a type of hydrostatic pressure, the pressure exerted by the fluid on the walls of container it contains. So in the case of heart it would be the pressure exerted by the blood on walls of heart chamber and in vessels in it would be the pressure exerted on the walls of vessels.

Remember, blood flow from higher pressure to lower pressure. So for moving blood from heart to blood vessels the heart should have greater pressure than blood arteries. This higher blood pressure in heart experienced by left ventricle as it supplies the blood to body.

Left ventricle hypertrophy is a condition in which wall of left ventricle are thickened and enlarged because of higher blood pressure in arteries. This is because left ventricle have to work harder if the arteries have greater blood pressure.

Answer:

The answers are:

  1. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type A:    b. muscle fibers that help with a long sprint or carry a heavy object a short distance
  2. muscular strength:    d. the muscle's capacity to exert force against resistance
  3. Type 1 (slow twitch) muscle fibers:   a. muscle fibers responsible for endurance
  4. Muscle endurance:    c. refers to the ability to perform a specific muscular action for a prolonged amount of time.
  5. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type B:     e. muscle fibers used in short explosive movements such as jumping or lifting a very heavy weight one or two times.

Explanation:

Types of Skeletal Muscles:

Skeletal muscle are divided into two types:

  1. Slow Twitch (Type 1)
  2. Fast Twitch (Type 2)
  • Slow twitch muscles are the first ones to contract at times of exercise of strenuous physical activity. A compared to fast twitch muscle fibers, they contract slowly but can sustain contraction for a long time.
  • Fast twitch muscle fibers are divided into two subtypes: Type 2A and Type 2B.
  • Type 2A muscle fibers produce a high amount of force but they fatigue rapidly.
  • Type 2B muscle fibers, fire last, produce the most amount of force but wear out very rapidly.

Muscle Characteristics:

  • Muscle endurance is the muscle's ability to contract with force against a resistance for a prolonged time period.
  • Muscle strength is a measure of the amount of force a muscle can produce against resistance.
