Sarah thinks hyperplasia may be the cause of her severe muscle soreness. Hyperplasia is where the splitting of muscle fibers cell as a response to resistance training. Hyperplasia also allows for muscles to adapt to the resistance‚ and grow in size or increase in strength. Delayed onset muscle soreness is he a result of microscopic

Despite the complexity of the human body and the diversity of organs it contains; there are only four tissues called basic or principal tissues - these are epithelium‚ connective tissue‚ muscle and nerve tissue. The following paragraphs describe the main structural features‚ functions and sub-divisions of each type of tissue.
