Comparison of different types of muscles Dr. Shaikh Mujeeb Ahmed Assistant Professor Department Basic Medical Sciences Division of Physiology Faculty of Medicine Almaarefa Colleges

Spot the Difference
5
Metabolic Systems
6
Phosphocreatine-Creatine System Quicker - 4 moles of ATP per min. Maximum muscle power for 8-10 seconds. Used mainly in 100 meter run.
7
Glycogen Lactic Acid System Stored glycogen split into glucose & then glucose to energy. Anaerobic metabolism 2.5 times as rapid as oxidative mechanism. Short to moderate period, 1.3 – 1.6 min of maximum muscle activity
8
Aerobic System Oxidation of food stuff in mitochondria. Moles of ATP per min are 1/min. Maximum muscle power for as long as nutrients last. Marathon run.
9
Major Types of Muscle Fibers Classified based on differences in ATP hydrolysis and synthesis 3 major types – Slow-oxidative (type I) fibers – Fast-oxidative (type IIa) fibers – Fast-glycolytic (type IIx) fibers
11
Percentage of fast twitch and slow twitch fibers in quadriceps muscle Fast Twitch 18% 26% 55% 63% Slow Twitch 82% 74% 45% 37% Marathoners Swimmers Weight lifters Sprinters Jumpers
