ways of adaptation :
.cells merge together to form fibres that can contract.
. its has a lot of mitochondria to release enough energy for contractions.
. it stores glycogen to be enery source.
. it can respire both aerobbically and anaerobically to get more energy .

∙ 9y agoMuscle fibres can adapt to changes such as exercise by hypertrophy- increasing in diameter, or by changing in length. They can also change type- i.e. between slow twitch "endurance" fibres to fast twitch "speed" fibres. Muscles can undergo other changes in response to exercise such as improving the efficiency of respiration- the process by which they generate energy. If not used, muscles will adapt by atrophy- becoming smaller. This is seen in the extreme if a muscle loses all its nerve supply, such as in paralysis

What types of cells contracts to move an animal?
muscle cells...
What cell contains most mitochondria?
Muscle cells.Metabolically very active cells. Muscle cells,heart cells have lot of mitochondria
What type of nerve stimulates muscle cells to contract?
Somatic type of nerves stimulate the muscle cells to contract.
What are 3 examples of muscle cells?
The three examples of muscle cells is the Cardiac mucsle, the Smooth muscle and the Skeletal muscle.
Who do active cells have large numbers of mitochondria?
Skeletal muscle cells,cardiac muscle cells,sperm cells
What types of cells contracts to move an animal?
muscle cells...
How are individual muscle cells different from the muscle tissue in the bicep muscle?
Muscle cells are smaller than muscle tissues.
Do smooth muscles have branched cells?
No, cardiac muscle cells are branched but skeletal muscle cells are linear and do not branch
What cell contains most mitochondria?
Muscle cells.Metabolically very active cells. Muscle cells,heart cells have lot of mitochondria
How do muscle cells use fat cells when they burn?
Muscle cells don't use fat cells when they are burned. An increase in muscle can raise the metabolism causing the muscle cells to burn off the fat cells in storage.
What type of nerve stimulates muscle cells to contract?
Somatic type of nerves stimulate the muscle cells to contract.
Is smooth muscle cells voluntary?
no, skeletal muscle cells are
Which cells would contain more mitochondria.Skin cellsor muscle cells?
Muscle cells.
How are individual muscle cells different from the muscle tissue in the bicep?
Muscle cells are smaller than muscle tissues.
What are muscle cells also known as?
cardiac muscle cells smooth muscle cells skeletal muscle cells in honors anatomy thats what they said the cells where called, so I am pretty sure those are the correct names.
What are some differences between epithelial cells and muscle cells?
One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body. Muscle cells are located in the muscle under the skin.
Cells are organized into blank such as muscle neural and cardiac?
Cells that are the same form tissues. Muscle cells form muscle tissue.
