Patterns of Growth

Cephalocaudal Pattern: Growth occurs from top to bottom (head to toe).

Proximodistal Pattern: Growth starts at the center of the body and moves towards the extremities.

The Brain

Textile Fibers: Properties, Finishes, and Classifications

Textile Fiber Finishes and Quality

Cotton Finishes

Mercerization

This treatment uses sodium hydroxide to enhance cotton’s absorbency, luster, and strength.

Cotton Quality

  • High Quality: Combed (short fibers removed)
  • Lower Quality: Not combed

Linen Finishes

Beetling

This process involves flattening yarns to create a smoother, tighter fabric with enhanced sheen.

Linen Quality

  • High Quality: “Line” – Long, combed fibers
  • Low Quality: “Tow” – Short flax fibers. Tow fibers require carding before dry spinning into yarns
