Blood cells' function is to carry oxygen to all of the cells of the body, and to do this, it has hemoglobin, which allows the blood cells to accept and carry oxygen. The hemoglobin is only effective when the blood cell is a certain shape. Muscle cells, however, don't carry oxygen (duh), so they are a more tube-like shape to allow the organism to move, flex, and change position. If they were disc-shaped like red blood cells, the organism would have trouble moving at all. If red blood cells were tube-shaped, the hemoglobin could not perform properly, and the organism would die.

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.
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 cells have visible projections amongst muscle cells red blood cells and sperm cells viewed under a light microscope?
Muscle cells have visible projections called myofibrils, red blood cells lack visible projections due to their biconcave disc shape, and sperm cells have a visible projection called a flagellum which helps in motility.
Why are muscle cells round?
Muscle cells are cylindrical in shape, not round, in order to efficiently contract and generate force. This elongated shape allows for the alignment of contractile proteins along the length of the cell, facilitating the sliding filament mechanism that leads to muscle contraction. Additionally, the cylindrical shape maximizes the surface area available for the attachment of tendons and other muscle fibers.
What it s the most powerful hip extensor of the body?

Which cells in your body can change their shape?
Cells in your body that can change their shape include red blood cells, white blood cells (such as neutrophils and macrophages), and muscle cells (such as muscle fibers). These cells have the ability to alter their shape to carry out their specific functions.
What is shapes your heart?
your heart is a fist-sized muscle with smooth sides,a rounded sides and an arch of blood on top. by the way, if you are looking for what shape the heart started as, idk, although it might be atoms.im not sure

Solids.
What muscle is named after its shape?
The muscle is made up of the body. The body is made up of a group of blood vessels, nerves, muscles cells and tissues called fasciles. The fasciles are made up of a muscle cells that span the length of the muscle body. The muscle cell is made up of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, t-tubules, sarcoplasm, sarcolemma, myofibrils (actin and myosin)....the shape of a muscle varies.
