The red and white muscle cells are in your arm and the body. They can grow and they can get bigger.

A red muscle cell has more capillaries running through it. There are also more mitochondria present in red muscle cell.White cells are more numerous in number.

Red muscle cell is more for endurance. There is more capillaries and powerhouses. There are more white cells however, even though they are more for raw power, like sprinting and what not.

The red muscle cell has more blood running through it hence the red color and name. This is due to more capillaries. The white muscle cells are more for power while the red muscle cells are more for endurance.
