How can the shape of muscle cell change?
Muscle cells can change shape through processes such as hypertrophy (increase in size) or atrophy (decrease in size). Hypertrophy occurs when the muscle cell grows in response to increased workload, such as through exercise. Atrophy, on the other hand, can be caused by disuse, injury, or disease which results in a reduction in the size of the muscle cell.

How do muscles get larger or smaller?
by hypertrophy (bigger) by making them do alot more work than they use to by lifting weights usually, and atrophy (not being used to same extent as they were)for them to get smaller or 'waste' away from lack of a sustained workload.
What is the difference between hypertrophy and atrophy?
Muscular atrophy means that muscle that was there has degenerated. It can happen because of disuse (like if you have a broken bone that's in a cast for a period of time) or because innervation to that muscle has been interrupted (as with a spinal cord injury), or any other reason that it isn't being used. Hypertrophy is increase in the size or number of muscle cells (myocytes). You might say that a bodybuilder or someone with overdeveloped muscles in their arms from using a wheelchair demonstrates hypertrophy, but in a pathological sense, you can also see hypertrophy in muscles in children with muscular dystrophy (getting to that). That happens because of repeated damage to the muscle cells; as long as the body can, it will try to compensate by increasing the size of the remaining cells. Dystrophy means any condition associated with abnormal development. It can be due to malnutrition or to genetic disorders like Duchenne or Becker's muscular dystrophy. Hyper- and hypotonia are, respectively, increase and decrease in overall muscle tone. You can think of them as spasticity or inability to stretch or a tendency to contract and "floppiness" or looseness of muscle tissue or decreased resistance to movement, respectively. They can be due to any number of different disorders; they are very general terms.
