		The primary purpose of muscle tissue is to contract.
		Muscle contraction is used to move parts of the body, as well as to move substances within the body,
		Sometimes known as muscle memory, the sense of where our bodies are in space is called proprioception, the perception of body awareness.

		Once resected body tissue, such as, but not limited to a resected colon 80, is introduced into bag 30 and into mid-portion 36, first member 42 is retracted to hold a portion of resected colon 80, while the remaining portion of resected colon 80 is positioned through opening 31 of bag 30.

	Tissue Expansion: Creating New Skin From Old
		Tissue expansion is a relatively straightforward procedure that enables the body to "grow" extra skin for use in reconstructing almost any part of the body.
		While most tissue expansion is done in an outpatient surgical facility, the size and location of the expansion, as well as the preference of the patient and surgeon, will dictate where the surgery takes place.
		Tissue Expansion is ideal for scalp repair because the stretched skin on the scalp retains normal hair growth.

	Body mass index - A measure of chronic energy deficiency in adults
		The power of the body to obtain leverage and the stabilizing effect of the body in a variety of tasks are dependent on weight as much as specific measures of lean tissue and body fat.
		Body weight is easy to measure in comparison with the currently available methods for estimating body fat in difficult circumstances such as those found in developing countries.
		Body weight has been widely used in North American and European countries and the body mass index is now internationally recognized as a valid measure of obesity in individuals despite the greater variation in body fat at the top end of the BMI scale.

	UT Feature Story -- The Growth of Tissue Engineering: Charting new pathways to neural and vascular health
		As the field of tissue engineering advances—a field in which she is nationally recognized—artificial devices like metal hip implants may become a thing of the past.
		Tissue engineering aims to either stimulate the body to regenerate tissue on its own or, depending on the type of injury, to grow tissue outside the body that can then be implanted as natural tissue.
		One approach to tissue engineering is to use a biomaterial scaffold to direct growth of the body's own cells in a laboratory and then implant the cells back into the body.

	Tissue Type Test
		Tissue type is a blood test that measures substances called antigens that determine whether donor tissue is compatible for transplant into another person.
		The more similar the antigen patterns are from two tissue samples, the less likely it is that transplanted tissue will be “rejected.” An organ (such as a kidney) that is transplanted from one person (the donor) to another person (the recipient) will be rejected if the recipient's immune system attacks it as foreign tissue.
		Tissue type may be done to exclude paternity for cases in which the identity of the father is in question.

	The Funeral Directory - Tissue, Organ and Body Donations
		Donating skin tissue and bodily organs after death, to improve the quality of life of others, is a selfless and generous act.
		If the body is accepted by the medical school (and schools have the right to refuse a body) it will go directly to the school, although the next-of-kin may be requested to pay transportation costs.
		Alternatively, a body may be refused on grounds of age and weight; again it depends upon the purpose that the body is being used for.

	Scientists Grow Bone Tissue Inside Body
		"All the other approaches to the engineering of new bone tissue haven't worked and this approach of taking bone from the same patient means there should be no problems of rejection or infection," she said.
		The latest technique is to grow new bone inside the body using our inherent bone-growing tissue Â a thin membrane that surrounds the bone called the periosteum which contains the vital stem cells of the bone.
		The trials are also being studied with a view to adopting a similar approach for the engineering of fresh liver and pancreatic tissue, organs that also have outer layers similar to a periosteum, said Professor Robert Langer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston who was also part of the research team.

		Soft tissue includes muscles, tendons (bands of fiber that connect muscles to bones), fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and synovial tissues (tissues around joints).
		Malignant (cancerous) tumors that develop in soft tissue are called sarcomas, a term that comes from a Greek word meaning "fleshy growth." There are many different kinds of soft tissue sarcomas.
		Secondary tumors are referred to as "metastatic soft tissue sarcoma" because they are part of the same cancer and are not a new disease.

		Any tissue in the body that has a connecting function is considered to be connective tissue.
		Fascia is a plastic-like tissue that wraps all of the muscles, and all of the individual fibers and bundles of individual fibers that become muscle.
		Deep connective tissue body work is designed to release the tension that currently exists in the connective tissue, and to return the body systematically to an aligned position.

		This binding mechanism occurs within the physiological structures of the connective tissues, the "Fascial Body." The body's response to such stress is chemical as well as physical and structural.
		The prevalence and enormity of this tissue can really be appreciated if we consider that the contour of the body will be maintained by the mass and shape of the connective tissues after all of the other tissues, including muscle-bone- organ-gland-nerve-vessel-most fluid, have been removed.
		The meshes of loose connective tissue is by no means merely an inert packing material which occupies the interstices between highly organized structures of muscles-vessels-nerves-glands-bones-organs, etc. It is a tissue of manifold function with great and far reaching importance and therefore requires our closest attention and study.

		But when connective tissue can't bounce back on a one-day turnaround, it continues to shorten and thicken, not just at the place it is overworked or stressed, but everywhere.
		In essence, a repetitive motion/repetitive stress injury means a specific area's connective tissue continues to shrink and shorten because of a lack of food, poor or restricted movement, or both.
		And if connective tissue in a specific spot is negatively affected, connective tissue elsewhere will suffer by virtue of its connection.
