Muscle cells can increase in size through a process called hypertrophy, which typically occurs with resistance training or increased physical activity. This enlargement results from the synthesis of more proteins, leading to larger muscle fibers. However, muscle cells do not "expand" in the sense of stretching; instead, they grow by increasing their mass and volume. Additionally, muscle cells can also increase in number through a process called hyperplasia, although this is less common in humans.
What else can I help you with?
What cells expand and contract to move the body.?
Muscle cells
Any tissue made of cells or fibers that contract and expand to cause movement is an?
Muscle.
What types of cells contracts to move an animal?
muscle cells...
What is muscle protein?
it is tiny muscle fibers that contract and expand the muscle
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
The only tissue that is able to contract and shorten in the body?
muscles
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
The shape and size of cell vary according to the function it has to perform justify the statement taking muscle cell as example?
Muscle cells are elongated in shape to allow for efficient contraction and force generation. Additionally, the size of the muscle cell is large to accommodate a substantial number of muscle proteins and energy stores needed for muscle function. These adaptations in shape and size enhance the muscle cell's ability to contract rapidly and powerfully.
What are some differences between muscle cell and a white blood cell?
A white blood cell has no nucleus and haemoglobin. They are part of the immune system of the body. They are differentiated into five distinct types based on their shape. Muscle cells are rod shaped and are packed with thin fibers called myofibrils. They are nucleated and have haemoglobin. Muscle cells can contract and expand.
How are individual muscle cells different from the muscle tissue in the bicep?
Muscle cells are smaller than muscle tissues.
