  2. Jute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jute

    Jute. Jute is a long, rough, shiny bast fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is produced from flowering plants in the genus Corchorus, of the mallow family Malvaceae. The primary source of the fiber is Corchorus olitorius, but such fiber is considered inferior to that derived from Corchorus capsularis.

  3. Connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connective_tissue

    The three meninges, membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord, are composed of connective tissue. Most types of connective tissue consists of three main components: elastic and collagen fibers, ground substance, and cells. [2] Blood, and lymph are classed as specialized fluid connective tissues that do not contain fiber.

  4. Rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope

    A ropeis a group of yarns, plies, fibres, or strands that are twistedor braidedtogether into a larger and stronger form. Ropes have tensile strengthand so can be used for dragging and lifting. Rope is thicker and stronger than similarly constructed cord, string, and twine. Construction. Rope may be constructed of any long, stringy, fibrous ...

  5. Group A nerve fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_A_nerve_fiber

    Type Aβ fibres from the skin are mostly dedicated to touch. However a small fraction of these fast fibres, termed "ultrafast nociceptors", also transmit pain. [6] Type Aδ fibers are the afferent fibers of nociceptors. Aδ fibers carry information from peripheral mechanoreceptors and thermoreceptors to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.

  6. Classification of peripheral nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of...

    The classification of peripheral nerves in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) groups the nerves into two main groups, the somatic and the autonomic nervous systems. [ 1] Together, these two systems provide information regarding the location and status of the limbs, organs, and the remainder of the body to the central nervous system (CNS) via ...

    Aramid. Spools of aramid yarn destined for body armor. Fiberglass-aramid hybrid cloth. Aramid fibers, short for aromatic polyamide, are a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibers. They are used in aerospace and military applications, for ballistic-rated body armor fabric and ballistic composites, in marine cordage, marine hull ...

  8. Kodaira's classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodaira's_classification

    In mathematics, Kodaira's classification is either The Enriques–Kodaira classification , a classification of complex surfaces, or Kodaira's classification of singular fibers , which classifies the possible fibers of an elliptic fibration .

  9. Parasympathetic nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasympathetic_nervous_system

    The parasympathetic nervous system promotes digestion and the synthesis of glycogen, and allows for normal function and behavior. Parasympathetic action helps in digestion and absorption of food by increasing the activity of the intestinal musculature, increasing gastric secretion, and relaxing the pyloric sphincter.
