How many fiber types are recognized by muscle histochemistry?
Type 1 fibers are slow-twitch, red fibers; type 2 fibers are fast-twitch, white fibers. The two major subtypes of type 2 fibers are types 2A and 2B.
The histochemical and physiologic properties of each fiber type are determined by the anterior horn cell that innervates it.
