Questions and Answers

1.

Which types by activity muscle fiber type contract at different speeds?
- A.
  
  Skeletal muscle
- B.
  
  Smooth muscle
- C.
  
  Cardiac Muscle
- D.
  
  Neither
Correct Answer
A. Skeletal muscle

Explanation
Skeletal muscle fibers contract at different speeds. This is because skeletal muscles are responsible for voluntary movements and need to be able to generate quick and powerful contractions. They contain two main types of muscle fibers: slow-twitch (Type I) fibers and fast-twitch (Type II) fibers. Slow-twitch fibers contract slowly and are fatigue-resistant, making them suitable for endurance activities. Fast-twitch fibers contract rapidly and generate more force, but they fatigue quickly. This allows skeletal muscles to adapt to different activity levels and perform a wide range of movements efficiently.
