What are the characteristics of fibroblast?
Fibroblasts are the most common type of connective tissue cells found in the body. They are typically spindle-shaped and have large, flat nuclei. Their main function is the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix, which provides structural support to tissues and organs. Fibroblasts also play a role in wound healing and tissue repair.
What is a measure of how much pulling or tension a material can withstand?
its tensile strength :P
What is capilliarity?
The tendency of a liquid in a capillary tube or absorbent material to rise or fall as a result of surface tension.
What occurs when materials of the Earth's crust are stretch causing them to thin?
tension
Info on polyester?
Polyester is a synthetic material it tends to slide when you want to sew it. You can not keep the tension tight, on your machine, and once you do get it's hard to keep it. The material is thin so it dose not seem to pull the thread through the needle as well as cotton for example.
What is compressional strength?
Compressional strength is strength to resist compression (squashing) This is different to resisting tension (pulling). Some materials, such as concrete, are good at resisting compression but not tension.
What same amount of material occupies the same amount of space but the position of the material changes?
Tension or Shearing + I believe Tension

What Strain which causes material to twist?
tension
What does tention mean in science?
Tension is the application of force to a material. (Not tention just for the record.) Stress, just to clarify, is the movement of said material under tension.
What is a tie and strut?
A tie is a support that does its work by resisting tension forces. A strut is a support that resists compression forces, struts do NOT have to be vertical.Ties put tension on the object, while Struts put compression. Example: A balcony.
What happens when a material is under tension?
it gets stretched
Why does tension and compression needed in bending a material?
When you bend a material the fibers at the outer extremes of the material thickness stretch on side ( tension) and shorten on the other side ( compression). At the mid (neutral) plane of the thickness theer is no stretch or shortening, so theer is neithetr tension nor compression there
What material could be used for parts of a bridge which is in tension?
steel
What can you reinforce concrete with?
There are different forces on a materials such as Compression and Tension. Compression is pushing a material together. Tension is pulling a material apart. Concrete has good strength in Compression, but is weak in Tension. The steel reinforcement improves the resistance to tension of the concrete.
What are tendonts?
Tendons are made up of tough band of fibrous connective tissues which join bones and muscles together and are capable of withstanding tension!
A stress that causes a material to fracture where the fracture opens or spreads apart is?
tension
