what is short muscles and long muscles??

Maybe this helps. Consider that your lower back muscle is a long muscle. It's big and it takes a long range of motion to exercise it properly. Your stomach muscles, in contrast, are shorter, smaller muscles when compared to the back muscles. They require a short range of motion to properly exercise them.

Its called the gastrocnemious.\n\nEver wonder why biceps and triceps are "bi's and tri's," pectorals are "pecs," your gluteus maximus are "glutes" -- but no one ever calls the calf muscle "gasses"?

Beware!  The other answer did not mention cardiac muscle cells.  These are different to smooth muscle and skeletal muscle types.\n\nThe 2 types are probably cardiac muscle and endomysial tissue, which seems to be a sort of connective tissue, containing blood vessels etc; see:\n\nhttp://web.upstate.edu/feiglind/index13.html

ummm they are your muscles, they are develped by doing fast stuff vs. doing long distancs kind of stuff.

- lower back\n\n- some abs, but not much as lower back muscles are much more important\n\n- butt\n\n- triceps\n\n- anterior tibilias (the muscle near the shin)\n\n- most of your quad and calves\n\n- rectus femoris. you won't see this muscle unless you ride a lot \n\n- hamstrings\n\n- some forearm\n\n- hip flexors\n\nthose are justa few indescript muscles...

Your question does not make sense!\n\nFrog muscles are arranged like those in other vertebrates and will have similar names. For example your calf muscle is the gastrocnemius, it is the same in the frog and this is the tasty bit you might eat when served frogs legs.

Isn't this something they're trying to teach you at school? Think of the origins and insertions of these muscles, and of the movements achieved when each muscle layer contracts. Look at the pictures in any good Comparative Anatomy book and check the difference between the muscles of fishes and tetrapods (hint: new feature- lungs).

There are VAST amount of different types of MD. Each one attacks its own set of muscles. Check out the link from the source.

the muscles you use are the \n\ngastrocnemius (flexes the knee)\nsoleus (flexes the foot)\nplantaras (flexes both the foot and the knee) \n\ntibialis posterior (flexes and inverts the foot) \ntibialis anterior (dorsi flexes and the inverts the foot)\n\nfibularis breavis and fibularis longus (flex and invert the foot)\n\nflexor digitorum longus(flexes toes 2-5 and inverts the foot) and flexor hallucis longus (flexes the big toe and inverts the foot)\n\nlateral malleolus (superficial muiscle around the ankle)\n\nthere are others as well.

Skeletal Muscles, the muscles that moves your limbs, eyelids, lift your face, external sphincters of your anus and urinary bladder...\n\nHeart Muscles (Cardiac Ms) - these are also made of striated tissues

It is called the sartorius.\n\nIt's a long, ribbon-like muscle that "slants across the front of the upper thigh from the side to the middle and then descends vertically to the knee," flexing, rotating, and abducting along the way to enable the cross-legged sitting posture that is known as the "tailor's position." \n\nA physiology course curriculum page from the University of Arizona about muscle anatomy confirmed that the sartorius, a muscle of the anterior hip and thigh group that is connected to the ilium and the tibia, is the longest muscle.

Standing up involves a number of muscles because you have to lift you body from the sitting position.Muscles are in two groups each group works antagonistic to the other. \nThere are three main muscle groups of the thigh: the quadriceps; the adductors; and the hamstrings. The quadriceps muscles extend the knee joint and move the leg forwards. \n But I think it's easier to explain what happens if we consider the thigh muscles into two groups anterior muscles and posterior muslces. The anterior group the will contain the flexors of the thigh (the thigh is in a flexed position when you lift it) as well as the abductors (abduction is when the thighs are brought together). And the posterior would contain the extensors (extension is the opposite of lexion that is when you return the leg from the lifting position) as well as the adductors ( adduction is when you move the thighs apart). \nWhen sitting the posterior muscles are somehow relaxed and the anterior group of muscles are some how contracted because the hip is in a flexed position and the femoral head is medial and slightly outwards. when standing up the posterior group slightly contracts and the anterior group relaxes because the thigh is extended the femoral head is rotated slightly inwards.\nIn anatomy the muscles are said to contract when they are reduced in size and relaxed when they are increased in size that is when the innervation is intact!\nIf you are at a science lab try using the anatomy models to observe the actions you will see the movements more clearly.

Type IIB and type IIX are different subtypes of skeletal muscle. They are not the same thing.

IM a short person too but in middle school i was in high jump and won first place nearly all the time. My trick is hanging on to weights and jumping up and down until you feel it burn. keep doing that for a while and every day. Or another thing that works is putting  a backpack on with weight in it and walking around with it all day.
