Specification of slow and fast myoblasts. There is debate as to when the distinct fibretypes are specified. One model proposes that slow and fast fibretypes are already specified within the somite. The other proposes that premyogenic cells are unspecified as they leave the somite and are competent to generate both slow and fast fibretypes under the influence of environmental factors in the limb bud. See text for further details.
