A fish will rapidly dart away from a sudden disturbance,like a pebble thrown into the water.Ususally the fish only swims a short distance before resuming normal,slower locomotion.What type of skeletal muscle fibers does the fish use when darting away?
A)Slow-oxidative
B)Fast-oxidative
C)Fast-glycolytic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fast-glycolytic muscle fibers are specialized for short bursts of powerful movement, making them well-suited for quick, sudden movements like darting away from a disturbance. Slow-oxidative fibers are better suited for sustained, endurance-type activities, while fast-oxidative fibers are intermediate between slow-oxidative and fast-glycolytic.
