Lab 7 Questions

1. Briefly; what is a myotube and how is it formed? - Elongated mulitinucleated cells that have peripherally located myofibrils. - They are formed by a fusion of myoblasts during skeletal development and eventually develop into mature muscle fibres.

2. What changes would I expect to see in the muscle fibre types in my legs if I:

a) Suffered a spinal cord injury -Muscle atrophy -conversion of slow twitch muscle fibres to fast twitch muscle fibres.

b) Took up marathon running -Conversion of fast twitch muscle fibres to slow twitch muscle fibres
