Consider the following values for the biceps brachii muscle in men and women: area of one type I fiber area of one type II fiber total area of type II fibers Men 4597 µm² 6150 μm² 20.7 cm² Women 3483 µm² 4306 μm² 14.5 cm² Let's consider why men typically produce more force than women even though they have the same innervation ratio (750), number of muscle fibers (580,000), and percentage of type II fibers (58%). 7) How much force would all the type II fibers in the biceps brachii of a man produce? (Consider: what is the total cross-sectional area for all the type II fibers in the men? Remember, muscle fibers typically produce about 30 N/cm². (Fill-in-the-blank. Include appropriate units.) (3 points) 8) Now calculate how much force all the type II fibers in the biceps brachii of a woman would produce. (Fill-in-the-blank. Include appropriate units.) (3 points)
