Which type of muscle tissue typically tires (fatigues) quickly during intense exercise?
A
All muscle tissue types fatigue at the same rate
B
Smooth muscle
C
Cardiac muscle
D
Skeletal muscle
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Each has distinct functions and characteristics.
Step 2: Recognize that skeletal muscle is primarily responsible for voluntary movements and is heavily involved during intense exercise.
Step 3: Know that skeletal muscle fibers can be classified into different types, some of which fatigue quickly due to their reliance on anaerobic metabolism during intense activity.
Step 4: Compare this to cardiac muscle, which is highly resistant to fatigue because it has a rich blood supply and relies on aerobic metabolism to sustain continuous contractions.
Step 5: Understand that smooth muscle, found in organs and blood vessels, contracts slowly and is also resistant to fatigue, as it is not typically involved in rapid, intense activity.
