Warehousing: Function, Benefits and Types of Warehousing. Warehousing: Function, Benefits and Types of Warehousing! A warehouse may be defined as a place used for the storage or accumulation of goods. The function of storage can be carried out successful with the help of warehouses used for storing the goods. ADVERTISEMENTS:
sliding filament theory A proposed mechanism of muscle contraction in which the actin and myosin filaments of striated muscle slide over each other to shorten the length of the muscle fibres (see sarcomere). Myosin-binding sites on the actin filaments are exposed when calcium ions bind to troponin molecules in these filaments.
Filament - In physics and electrical engineering. 1  An electrical filament in an incandescent light bulb. 2  Similarly, a thin heating element. 3  Current filament. 4  Filament propagation, diffractionless propagation of a light beam. 5  3D printing filament, used as raw material for Fused deposition modeling 3D printers.
