A thickening of existing muscle fibers is called?

Muscle hypertrophy is the thickening or increase in the size of existing muscle fibers. This process occurs in response to resistance training or overload, leading to an increase in muscle strength and size.


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.


When a muscle grows in size what name do we give to the muscle growth?

When muscles grow in size we call this hypertrophy.The word hypertrophy actually refers to an increase in the size of an organ due to an increase in the size of the cells, rather than to an increase in the number of cells. Other body tissues can actually undergo hypertrophy, such as the heart or kidneys (this is usually a bad thing). To differentiate, we usually refer to muscle growth as muscle hypertrophy, but the term is so often applied to muscle building that this is usually not necessary in lay discussions.Increases in size due to an increase in the number of cells (cell proliferation, by the way, is called hyperplasia.


How does training increase muscle size?

Training causes muscle fibers to incur microscopic damage, leading to inflammation. The body responds by repairing and rebuilding these fibers, increasing their size and strength over time. This process is called muscle hypertrophy and is supported by proper nutrition and rest.


What is the enlargement of muscle cells called?

Does EMS increase the size of your penis?

I believe you are asking if EMS (electronic muscle stimulators) increase the size of your penis. First of all, EMS is designed to stimulate muscles and strengthen them. There is no muscle in the penis, and EMS devices are very strong because they are designed for muscle exercise. It would be very rough on your penis. If you did use it, it would not increase the size of your penis although it might feel like electrosex.


Can igf-1 increase penis size as its a muscle growth enhancer?

IGF-1 can promote muscle growth, but there is no scientific evidence to suggest that it can increase penis size. The size of the penis is primarily determined by genetic factors and hormone levels during puberty. It is not a muscle that can be significantly altered through muscle growth enhancers.
