I'm not an expert, however broadly speaking there are two kinds of fibers used in making textiles.
Relatively short fibers - such as wool fibers are categorized as "staple fibers."
Fibers that are continuously extruded (and are therefore available in any length) are filament fibers.
Silk, which has long fibers, but not quite any length falls into its own category.

What is filament shaped into?
Bulb's filament are wounded into a coil.
What is the thickness of the filament in light bulbs?
the filament is neither too thick nor too light
What are the Fibers of the conduction system of the heart?
Fibers of the conduction system of the heart is called Purkinje fibers
Why do light filament bulbs usually blow when they are first switched on?
because when they are first switched on a large surge of electrical current flow through a cold filament. When you first switch on the bulb the resistance is small, so you get a current surge which breaks the weakened filament. The filament is weakened by repeated heating and cooling from the bulb being turned on and off; which makes it brittle.
What fibers cause a contraction in the ventricle?
Pirkinje Fibers
Where do filament fibers come from?
Filament fibers are long continuous strands that are composed of materials such as nylon, polyester, or rayon. They are produced through a process called extrusion, where the material is forced through a spinneret to create long, uniform fibers. Filament fibers are commonly used in textiles for their strength and durability.
Principle by which muscle fibers contract?
Sliding filament mechanism
What is the difference between staple and filament fibres?
Staple fibers are short fibers, typically measuring a few inches in length, and are commonly used in the production of spun yarns. They provide a softer, bulkier texture and are often made from materials like cotton or wool. In contrast, filament fibers are long, continuous strands, often produced from synthetic materials like polyester or nylon. Filament fibers create smoother, stronger fabrics and are typically used in applications where durability and a sleek appearance are important.
What is the micron thickness of 420 denier polyester?
for monofilament filament, the round diameter is about 214 micron for multi filament yarn depends to cross section of fibers and the rate of twisting
What has the author Ali Demir written?
Ali Demir has written: 'Synthetic filament yarn' -- subject(s): Synthetic Textile fibers, Textile fibers, Synthetic, Textured yarn
Is jute a staple or a filament?
Jute is classified as a staple fiber. This means that instead of being one continuous length (filament), jute fibers are short in length and are spun or twisted together to form yarns for weaving.
What is a staple spun yarn?
Yarns that are spun from short fibres, like cotton. The staple is the length of the fibre, so you might say 'Egyptian cotton is better quality than Indian cotton because it has a longer staple.' Many artificial yarns are extruded, that is made like squeezing toothpaste from a tube, so they don't need to be spun to make a long thread.
Is wool a filament or a staple?
Wool is classified as a staple fiber. This means it is made up of shorter, individual strands rather than being continuous like filament fibers, such as silk. Staple fibers, including wool, are typically measured in inches or centimeters and are often spun together to create yarn. Wool's staple nature contributes to its texture and warmth in textiles.
Which protein of the sarcomere is the thick filament made of?
The thick filament of the sarcomere is primarily made of the protein myosin. Myosin molecules aggregate to form the thick filaments, which interact with the thin filaments (primarily composed of actin) during muscle contraction. This interaction is crucial for the sliding filament model of muscle contraction, allowing muscle fibers to shorten and generate force.
If you push on a table do muscle fibers shorten?
Yes, when you push on a table, the muscle fibers in your arm contract, which causes them to shorten. This contraction generates the force needed to exert pressure on the table. The process involves the sliding filament mechanism, where actin and myosin filaments within the muscle fibers interact, leading to the shortening of the muscle.
What supports the anther?
The Filament
What is difference between polyester staple fiber yarn and polyester filament yarn?
The main difference between polyester staple fiber yarn and polyester filament yarn is that polyester staple fiber yarn is made up of chemicals. Polyester filament yarn contains both man-made and natural fibers.
