Solution

failed
failed

The answer to the first question is "fascicles."

Explanation for each option:

  • Endomysium: This is a type of connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers, not bundles of muscle fibers.
  • Fascicles: Correct. Fascicles are bundles of muscle fibers within a skeletal muscle.
  • Myofibrils: These are the contractile elements within a muscle fiber, not bundles of muscle fibers.
  • Sarcomeres: These are the basic contractile units within myofibrils, not bundles of muscle fibers.

The answer to the second question is "Slow (oxidative), fatigue-resistant fibers."

Explanation for each option:

  • Slow (oxidative), fatigue-resistant fibers: Correct. These fibers rely on aerobic metabolism and are adapted for endurance and continuous activity, depending on oxygen delivery.
  • Fast (glycolytic), fatigable fibers: Incorrect. These fibers rely on anaerobic metabolism and are adapted for short bursts of activity, not depending primarily on oxygen delivery.

In summary, the answers are:

  1. Fascicles
  2. Slow (oxidative), fatigue-resistant fibers
