Muscle cells form by the fusion and elongation of numerous precursor cells called myoblasts. Some stem cell precursors of myoblasts remain in an adult animal, located between the sarcolemma and basement membrane of mature muscle cells, and these are called satellite cells in this setting.
Do muscle cells undergo mitosis?
When we are growing as a child, the muscle cells undergo mitosis so that our muscles can grow in proportion to our bones, height, and weight. During adulthood, though, no new muscle cells are generated.
Do muscle cells divide?
Because skeletal muscle fibers are unable to divide, more of them can be made only by the fusion of myoblasts, and the adult number of multinucleated skeletal muscle fibers is in fact attained early—before birth, in humans.
