The individual fibres that comprise a muscle can run in one of two modes.
Scorpion muscles are striated, with individual fibres innervated by several neurons.
Sizing, or dressing, agents are compounds that form a film around the yarn or individual fibres, increasing weight, crispness, and lustre.
By getting new tights damp and placing them in the freezer inside a plastic bag, the individual fibres are strengthened and less likely to break.
When individual fibres of a spinal nerve are identified by their specific function, they may be categorized as one of four types: (1) general somatic afferent, (2) general visceral afferent, (3) general somatic efferent, and (4) general visceral efferent.
Individual fibres are 0.8 to 3.2 cm (0.3 to 1.25 inches) long, averaging 1.8 cm (0.7 inch), with diameters of 30 to 36 micrometres (a micrometre is about 0.00004 inch).
The seed floss's individual fibres, soft and ranging from pale yellow to brown in colour, are about 0.5 to 3.25 cm (0.25 to 1.25 inches) long and 20 to 40 microns (a micron is about 0.00004 inch) in diameter.
Distaff, Device used in hand spinning in which individual fibres are drawn out of a mass of prepared fibres held on a stick (the distaff), twisted together to form a continuous strand, and wound on a second stick (the spindle).
Cotton, wool, waste silk, and man-made staple are subjected to carding, a process of separating individual fibres and causing many of them to lie parallel and also removing most of the remaining impurities.
Drawing, also called Drafting, in yarn manufacture, process of attenuating the loose assemblage of fibres called sliver by passing it through a series of rollers, thus straightening the individual fibres and making them more parallel.
Carding, in textile production, a process of separating individual fibres, using a series of dividing and redividing steps, that causes many of the fibres to lie parallel to one another while also removing most of the remaining impurities.
