Muscle cells also rebuild when resting just like normal cells. Muscle atrophy means there becomes less Quantity of muscle cells because the muscles are not being used as much.
The human body always adapts to external stresses. When there is no need to use muscle, the human body trims it back. Probably an evoloutionary mechanism.
Just taking a walk every day can keep muscles from atrophy.

I am very intrigued by this question, so I went on a web search for you. Type in "building of cells and muscle atrophy" and there is a wealth of information there for you. I know you will find what you're looking for. It may be a little more detailed than what you are asking, but it's great reading. Try it. Hoped I helped in some way.
