small
______-twitch muscle cells are able to generate ATP quite rapidly through glycolysis.

Capillaries are found in higher concentrations around the oxidative fibers because the ______ present in them require oxygen from the bloodstream.
mitochondria
Slow oxidative (Type I) muscle fibers contract ______ and primarily produce ATP aerobically.
slowly
Slow oxidative muscle fibers have a high content of ______, the red pigment that carries oxygen.
myoglobin
Fast oxidative-glycolytic (Type IIa) muscle fibers contract ______ and use both anaerobic and aerobic metabolic processes for ATP production.
quickly
Fast glycolytic (Type IIb) muscle fibers rely primarily on ______ respiration for ATP production.
anaerobic
Endurance runners are usually ______ because they have a lot of slow oxidative fibers.
skinny
Fast glycolytic (Type llb) muscle fibers contract ______ and primarily produce ATP anaerobically, through glycolysis.
quickly
These fibers are typically ______ due to their low myoglobin content.
white
If you know whether ATP production is ______ or anaerobic, you can predict whether myoglobin content will be high or low.
aerobic
Individual motor units possess just one of the three ______ types described above.

glycolytic
______ fibers have numerous mitochondria and can generate ATP easily through oxidative phosphorylation.
Oxidative
______-twitch muscle cells are able to generate ATP quite rapidly through glycolysis.
Fast

glycolytic
Glycolytic fibers have a very high concentration of cytosolic ______ enzymes.
glycolytic
Oxidative fibers have numerous ______ and can generate ATP easily through oxidative phosphorylation.
mitochondria
For exams, remember that ______ training enhances the oxidative capacity of muscle fibers and reduces their chances of becoming fatigued.
endurance
When studying for exams, keep in mind that ______ exercise increases the glycolytic capacity of muscle fibers but lowers their oxidative capacity.
resistance
As an exam tip, recall that the muscles of a ______ runner will have more numerous and larger mitochondria than an average person's.
marathon
For exams, remember that over time, fast-glycolytic (Type ______) fibers are converted to fast-oxidative-glycolytic (Type IIa) fibers.
IIb
When studying for exams, keep in mind that ______ fibers are typically pale due to their low myoglobin content.
glycolytic
Learn about fast glycolytic (Type llb) muscle fibers that contract quickly, produce ATP anaerobically, and have low fatigue resistance. These white fibers are used for activities requiring rapid bursts of power or intense movements with short durations.
