Morphology
The term is transparently compositional: 'muscle' (tissue that produces movement) modifies 'cell' (a microscopic living unit), so a 'muscle cell' is readily understood as a cell that makes up muscle and contracts to produce movement. Noun–noun compounding of this kind is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern, so an average B1 learner who knows both words can infer the meaning.
Etymology
The compound muscle cell comes from two simple images: muscle, a word people long ago thought looked like a 'little mouse' moving under the skin, and cell, a word for a 'small room' or tiny part. So muscle cell means one of the tiny parts that can tighten and make a muscle move.
