Muscle Fibre Types
Muscle fiber types
- type IIB, IIA, IIX, and I fibres - based only on the myosin ATPase activity.
- Type I fibres appear red, due to the presence of myoglobin.
- Type II fibres appear white, due to the absence of myoglobin and their glycolytic nature.
- A group of individual myofibres within a muscle will be innervated by a single motor neuron (motor unit).
- The electrical properties of the motor neuron will regulate the contractile properties of all associated myofibres.
