To answer the question, we need to identify the types of muscle fibers based on their contraction characteristics. 1. **Identify the first type of muscle fiber**: The question states that the first type of muscle fiber is involved in rapid contraction for a short duration. This type of muscle fiber is known as **white muscle fibers**. - **Explanation**: White muscle fibers, also known as fast-twitch fibers, have fewer mitochondria and less myoglobin. They are designed for quick bursts of energy and can contract rapidly but fatigue quickly. 2. **Identify the second type of muscle fiber**: The second part of the question refers to muscle fibers that contract slowly but can sustain this contraction for a longer period. This type of muscle fiber is known as **red muscle fibers**. ...
