What is muscle fibers?
Your cardiac muscle is your heart and this is a muscle and it holds itself together with its fibers. Hope that answers it for you :)

What is the tissue that holds muscles and bones together called?
The tissue that holds the muscle and bone together is called a SINEW. a sinew is a tough, fibrous tissue uniting muscle and bone. It is the source of muscular power and strength.
What is the material in wood that holds its fibers together?
Lignin is the material in wood that holds it's fibers together.
Skeletal muscle and smooth muscle?
There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.Skeletal muscle tissue is a voluntary type of muscle tissue that is used in the contraction of skeletal parts. It is striated (alternating with light and dark bands, called striations) and is attached to bones. A single skeletal muscle fiber is very long and has many nuclei, located at the periphery of the cell. Individual muscle fibers are parallel to each other.Smooth muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow internal organs and blood vessels. It is involuntary, nonstriated, and it's muscle fibers are small, thickest in the middle, and tapered at each end, containing single, centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle tissue helps to narrow the lumen of blood vessels, physically break down and move food along the GIT as well as move fluids through the body and eliminate wastes.Cardiac muscle tissue is found only in the walls of the heart and it is striated but also involuntary. It's muscle fibers are branched, and usually have only one centrally located nucleus. cardiac muscle tissue has intercalated discs that transverse thickening of the plasma membrane attached to the muscle fibers from end-to-end. It contains cell junctions that strengthen cardiac muscle and holds the fibers together during its vigorous contractions and cell junctions known as gap junctions that also provide a quick route for conduction of electrical impulses.
What holds bone and muscle together?
This is done by the tendons, sometimes called sinew.
Tissue that holds parts of the body together?
Connective tissue hold structures together.
What is the functions of four majors tissue types?
Muscle tissue: produce, force and cause motion Nerve tissue: Forms brain, spinal cord and cranial nerves Epithelial tissue: provides barrier for organs from outside environment Connective tissue: Holds other tissues together such as bone of blood.

What is the fibrous connective tissue the holds bones in a joint together?
Ligaments are the fibrous connective tissue that holds bones in a joint together.
What are three types of fascia and their differences?
Fascia-the sheets of fibrous connective tissue that holds muscle fibres together.Epimysium is on the outer layer of the whole muscle (made up of bundles).Fascicles is the name for those bundles of muscles, which is surrounded by perimysium.Individual muscle fibers are surrounded by myofibers.
What is a fibrous cord that attaches muscle to bone?
Ligaments are the fibrous connective tissue that holds bones in a joint together.
