Muscle Fibres
  1. Muscles are made from thousands of muscles fibres which are bound together by connective tissue
    1. Each muscle is made from a combination of 2 types of fibres. (Genetics)
      1. 1) Fast twitch (2 types)
        1. Type 2b – Fast Twitch Glycolytic (FTG)
          1. Structure
            1. Capillary density - Low
              1. Myoglobin content – lowest (protein which carries oxygen)
                1. Motor Neuron Size – Large (send messages to contract muscle)
                  1. Colour – White
                    1. Size – Large
                      1. Mitonchondrial density – lowest (where aerobic respiration takes place within cells)
                      2. Functions
                        1. Aerobic capacity - Low
                          1. Fatiguability – Easily Fatigued
                            1. Speed of contraction - Fast

                                1. Anaerobic capacity - High

                                  1. Structure
                                    1. Capillary Density – high
