Triceps Brachii

Fast twitch muscle

Contract faster than other muscle fibers and support short, quick burst of energy

Slow twitch muscle

Long contraction duration, associated with endurance, and have tons of blood vessels and mitochondria to support long-lasting energy

Muscle contraction

When signaled by a motor neuron, a skeletal muscle fiber contracts as the thin filaments are pulled and then slide past the thick filaments within the fiber's sarcomeres

• this process involves the interaction of actin and myosin filaments, resulting in muscle shortening and movement
