That is very good question! You do not have any thing like partially contracted muscle fibres, most probably. What you have got is partially contracted muscles. The muscle is more or less contracted as per the number of muscle fibres that are contracted at any given time.

Is an epoxy a composite?
No. But it can be made into a composite by adding glass, carbon, or kevlar fibers, among other things.

Making muscle tissue
Why after doing curls from working out you get sore real bad?
This shows that the muscles are expanding, these are called muscle tears. Muscle tears and repaired and muscles become bigger so that the next time you do a bicep curl you muscles can handle the weight better. When you are working out to build muscle you are in fact tearing or breaking the muscle fibers in the area that you are concentrating on. This does two things. 1. After the fibers are torn or separated from one another small amounts of fluid and perhaps blood escape from the surrounding cell walls. The body reacts violently to this fluid and hence the soreness. 2. As the fibers are separated you are in fact artificially making the muscle fibers grow new fibers where the separated fibers were. After repeated exercises, separated by days to allow the new growth to bind, the muscles grow larger.

How much force is a muscle capable of exerting?
Depends on which muscle it is. but the answer is (Muscle Strength) -apex
What is basic unit of a muscle?
sarcomeresSarcomereSarcomeresThe functional unit of a skeletal muscle is called a sarcomere. Hole's Anatomy 12th edition, pg 287 states: "Muscle fibers, and in a way muscles themselves, are basically collections of sarcomeres, discussed later in this chapter as the functional units of muscle contraction."sarcomere.
What does it means when you see things and feel things that aren't there?
If your talking about Para-normal, you could be partially insane.
What do you get from plants and animals?
you get many things from plants and animals. from plants you get oxygen,fibers,food,paper,etc. from animals you get meat,fibers,more plants (by their dispersion.)
What fibers are shirts made from?
It depends on the shirt. Cotton shirts are of course made from cotton fibers, synthetic shirts can be made from other things such as polyester and silk.
What are 10 facts about muscles?
1. There are three types of muscle fibers: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.2. Skeletal muscles are called voluntary muscles because they are under your own volitional control.3. Muscle tissue is derived from mesoderm.4. The word muscle is derived from the Latin musculus, meaning "mouse."5. Muscles are usually paired - agonist and antagonist - because muscles can only produce force on contractions.6. There are two types of muscle fibers: fast twitch and slow twitch. Slow twitch fibers can contract for long periods of time, while fast twitch fibers produce quick and powerful contractions but fatigue relatively rapidly.7. Contraction of muscle fibers is produced by the interaction between actin and myosin molecules.8. Muscles use a variety of sources of fuel depending on the intensity and duration of exercise. From short and intense to long and lower-intensity exercise, the fuel source changes from ATP, PCr, Lactic Acid Fermentation of Glucose, Aerobic Respiration Using Glucose, Aerobic Respiration Using Fat.9. Muscles typically store carbohydrates in the form of glycogen, allowing ready access to energy stores in times of energetic activity.10. In addition to motor axons that produce contractions, muscle cells contain sensory neurons that transmit information about muscle length and tension to the central nervous system.

Living things get source fibers H2O air and energy it is also known as forensics
Why does fat turn to muscle?
It doesn't. Fat and Muscle are both completely different things.
