12) Why might a motor unit in the bicepsbrachii produce less peak (tetanic) force compared witha motor unit in the vastus lateralis?
a) larger diameter of muscle fibers in the motor unit ofthe b. brachii than v. lateralisb) muscle is longer in b. brachii than v.lateralis so there are more cross bridges in series c) lowerinnervation number in b. brachii than v.lateralisd) more muscle fibers in the motor unit in b.brachii than v. lateralise) higher peak discharge rate in b. brachii than v.lateralisf) higher recruitment threshold in b.brachii than v. lateralisg) None of the above would result in less force production.
