  • 9.7The force, velocity, and duration of skeletal muscle contractions are determined by a variety of factorS
  • 9.7.2 Describe three types of skeletal muscle fibers and explain the relative value of each type.
  • 9.8How does skeletal muscle respond to exercise?
  • LO 9.8.1 Compare and contrast the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on skeletal muscles.
  • 9.9Smooth muscle is nonstriated involuntary muscle
