11.

Why are slow-twitch muscles more resistant to fatigue during exercise, thus making them better for longer duration exercises?

  1. They have more developed sarcoplasmic reticula, which release calcium more quickly.
  2. They have less developed sarcoplasmic reticula, which release calcium more quickly.
  3. They have less developed sarcoplasmic reticula, which release calcium more slowly.
  4. They have more developed sarcoplasmic reticula, which release calcium more slowly.

14. What controls the process of changing membrane potential in the nerve cell membrane by allowing sodium ions to rush into the cell?
  1. Depolarization
  2. Hyperpolarization
  3. Sodium-potassium pump
  4. Saltatory conduction
15. What principle is at play when the electrical threshold of the nerve cell membrane is reached, causing the propagation of the action potential?
