spindle fibers
No, they contract.
Elastic fibers made of the protein elastin has a coiled structure which allows it to stretch and recoil. Fibers can stretch up to 150 percent of their relaxed state length without breaking.
The best types of yarn that do not stretch for knitting projects are typically made from natural fibers such as cotton, linen, or silk. These fibers have less elasticity compared to synthetic fibers like acrylic or nylon, making them ideal for projects where stretch is not desired.
Carbon fibers bend but firmly resist stretching.
Yes.
Longitudinal elastic fibers enable the trachea to stretch and descend with the roots of the lungs during inspiration.
The name of the long cells that can stretch and contract in the body are called muscle fibers. These fibers make up our muscles and are responsible for movement and generating force in the body.
Muscle spindles are the fibers in skeletal muscles that are stimulated by the degree of stretch. These specialized sensory organs detect changes in muscle length and contribute to the stretch reflex, helping to maintain posture and control muscle contraction.
Bouncing can tear muscle fibers
Due to the way paper is made, its fibers tend to run in one direction. If you tear in that direction, along the fibers, the paper tears easily, and the fibers guide the tear to be straight across. If you tear the paper across the fibers, all of the above is untrue.

Jacquard fabric itself does not inherently stretch, as it is typically made from woven fibers that create intricate patterns. However, some jacquard fabrics may contain elastic fibers or blends with materials like spandex, which can provide a degree of stretch. The extent of stretch largely depends on the specific composition of the fabric. Always check the fabric content for information on its elasticity.
