When the muscle contracts, it gets shorter. When it relaxes, it gets longer.
When muscles contracts it becomes shorter and thicker?
Muscle cells are also known as muscle fibres. A muscle fibre is made up of myofibrils. The myofibrils are made of many myofilaments. When myofilaments are stimulated by a nerve impulse they slide over each other contracting or shortening the muscles.

Can muscle cells become shorter?
Yes, muscle cells can become shorter through a process called muscle contraction. This happens when the filaments within the muscle cells slide past each other, causing the muscle to contract and shorten.
Why does pulling a muscle represent contraction?
Contraction is the process in which a muscle becomes or is made shorter and tighter, so if a muscle is pulled, it has become shorter and tighter. Hope this helped!
