Our body is amazing. It is comprised of many systems that work together to keep us alive. The muscular system is one of the important systems in our body. More than six hundred different muscles in our body allow us to move and protect our bones.
What are muscles? They are a kind of elastic tissue that makes up each muscle, consisting of thousands, or tens of thousands, of small muscle fibers. Each fiber comprises many tiny strands called fibrils. But while we know the definition of what a muscle is, what do we know about it?
In this episode, we will talk about muscles and hypertrophy. We will also tackle the different types of muscle tissue, types of hypertrophy, how we can develop our muscle strength, and many more. So, if you are interested in muscles and how to grow them, then this episode is for you. Buckle up, grab your favorite coffee, and join us in another exciting Cup of Nurses episode.
