What type of nerve stimulates muscle cells to contract?
Somatic type of nerves stimulate the muscle cells to contract.
What type of cell is a heart cell?
The heart cells are muscle, the type called involuntary muscle.
What type of neuroglial cells provide support and nutrition to sensory ganglia in the PNS?
satellite cells
Why do you have to break down muscle to build it?
What builds muscle is the fusing of "satellite" cells to the muscle fibers. When those cells fuse, they provide nuclei for the growth of the fibers. Different stimuli can cause the cells to move to and fuse with the fibers, such as insulin, growth hormones, and testosterone. When muscle fiber is damaged, growth hormones may stimulate the satellite cells to go to the point of injury and fuse to the fibers, which may result in increased muscle mass. But, it certainly is questionable as to whether the "no pain, no gain" mantra or the injection/ingestion of growth hormones or of testosterone is wise for the building of muscle mass.

How do your muscles inlarge?
Working out with weights will stress the muscles so that, while you rest, they rebuild bigger and stronger. Trauma to the Muscle: Activating The Satellite Cells When muscles undergo intense exercise, as from a resistance training bout, there is trauma to the muscle fibers that is referred to as muscle injury or damage in scientific investigations. This disruption to muscle cell organelles activates satellite cells, which are located on the outside of the muscle fibers between the basal lamina (basement membrane) and the plasma membrane (sarcolemma) of muscles fibers to proliferate to the injury site (Charge and Rudnicki 2004). In essence, a biological effort to repair or replace damaged muscle fibers begins with the satellite cells fusing together and to the muscles fibers, often leading to increases in muscle fiber cross-sectional area or hypertrophy. The satellite cells have only one nucleus and can replicate by dividing. As the satellite cells multiply, some remain as organelles on the muscle fiber where as the majority differentiate (the process cells undergo as they mature into normal cells) and fuse to muscle fibers to form new muscle protein stands (or myofibrils) and/or repair damaged fibers. Thus, the muscle cells' myofibrils will increase in thickness and number. After fusion with the muscle fiber, some satellite cells serve as a source of new nuclei to supplement the growing muscle fiber. With these additional nuclei, the muscle fiber can synthesize more proteins and create more contractile myofilaments, known as actin and myosin, in skeletal muscle cells. It is interesting to note that high numbers of satellite cells are found associated within slow-twitch muscle fibers as compared to fast-twitch muscle fibers within the same muscle, as they are regularly going through cell maintenance repair from daily activities
