| Name: | fast muscle cell |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | fast muscle fiber, white muscle cell |
| Definition: | A muscle cell that has a fast contractile response. Fast muscle fibers make up the deep portion of the myotome and are also known as white muscle cells. |
| Ontology: | Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0009117] |
| Name: | depolarization of postsynaptic membrane |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | |
| Definition: | A process that depolarizes a postsynaptic membrane relative to its resting potential. This has an excitatory effect on the post-synaptic cell, moving the membrane potential towards the firing threshold. |

| Name: | decreased frequency |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | infrequent, low frequency |
| Definition: | A frequency which is relatively low. |
