Front (Question)

smooth muscle functions?

Back (Answer)

one nucleus/no striations, comprising walls of blood vessels/organs of urinary/digestive/respiratory/reproductive tracts, also for peristalsis (moving food through digestive tract)

Front (Question)

bioenergetic diff. between type I and type II?

Back (Answer)

type I = low myosin ATPase, slower calcium handling, reduced glycolytic capacity, large mitochondria

Front (Question)

difference between IIa and IIb fibers?

Back (Answer)

IIa = moderate aerobic/anaerobic capacity, fast-oxidative+glycolytic, high myosin ATPase activity, greater number of capillaries than IIx fibers. IIb = fast glycolytic, less capacity for aerobic energy therefore more fatigable

Front (Question)

number of skeletal muscles in the body?

Back (Answer)

over 500
