What else can I help you with?
What are long fibers called?
Muscle cells are called fibers.
What is tissue hypertrophy?
Tissue hypertrophy refers to an increase in the size of cells, leading to overall enlargement of a tissue or organ. This can occur in response to increased workload or stress on the cells, such as in muscle hypertrophy from exercise.
Are the cells that transmit sensory messages called nerve cells or muscle cells?
The cells that transmit sensory messages are called nerve cells or neurons. Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are responsible for contraction and movement.
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.
What are the cells in large skeletal muscles called?
Muscle cells are known as myocytes.
The enlargement of muscle fibers as a result of physical exercise is called?
Hypertrophy
Do muscle cells expand?
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 are individual muscle cells termed?
Another name is myocyte. It is formed from a myoblast. There are three types: smooth, striated and cardiac cells.
What is a group of muscle cells called?
Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue. The muscle cells contract and elongate to make the movement in the body parts. Muscle cells are found in several specialized forms such as Cardiac, skeletal or smooth muscles etc.Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue.

Muscle cells gland cells and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called?
Muscle cells are called myocytes, gland cells are called secretory cells, and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called neurons.
What are all muscle cells called?
A single muscle cell is called a muscle fiber.
What does heart muscle mean?
Your heart is a muscle. It is also called the myocardium. The muscle cells in the heart muscle are called myocardiocytes.
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 is an enlargement of existing muscle fibers?
hypertrophy

What are heart muscle cells called?
They are called cardiac muscles.
