Spatially ordered recruitment of fast muscles in accordance with movement strengths in larval zebrafish

Spatially ordered recruitment of fast muscles in accordance with movement strengths in larval zebrafish

Abstract In vertebrates, skeletal muscle comprises fast and slow fibers. Slow and fast muscle cells in fish are spatially segregated; slow muscle cells are located only in a superficial region, and comprise a small fraction of the total muscle cell mass. Slow muscles support low-speed, low-force mov...
