tissue

As we age we lose muscle tissue.

This is tissue that we found in his pulmonary artery.

The compound cellulose is the major constituent of most plant tissue.

But since not all cells of the plant tissue are infected, the result tends to be color variation.

Notothenioids can be identified by their large eyes, which are covered by a thick insulating layer of clear tissue.

This tissue protects their eyes from freezing.

You see, adult female birds during egg production produce a layer of spongy bone tissue inside certain long bones.

This spongy tissue serves as a source of calcium for eggshell formation.

The only other place, this special fatty tissue, like that in the melon, the only other place is found in the dolphin, is in the lower jaw.

Now, the melon is kind of a large sac-like pouch, made up of fat tissue.

And this fat tissue has some rather fascinating acoustical properties.

As the seaweed and marsh grass leaves die, bacteria break down the plant material, and insects, small shrimplike organisms, fiddler crabs, and marsh snails eat the decaying plant tissue, digest it, and excrete wastes high in nutrients.

Numerous insects occupy the marsh, feeding on living or dead cordgrass tissue, and redwing blackbirds, sparrows, rodents, rabbits, and deer feed directly on the cordgrass.

After the death of an organism, the soft tissue is ordinarily consumed by scavengers and bacteria.

Leaves and tissue of soft-bodied organisms such as jellyfish or worms may accumulate, become buried and compressed, and lose their volatile constituents.

The probability that actual remains of soft tissue will be preserved is improved if the organism dies in an environment of rapid deposition and oxygen deprivation.

Among the superbly preserved Messel fossils are insects with iridescent exoskeletons (hard outer coverings), frogs with skin and blood vessels intact, and even entire small mammals with preserved fur and soft tissue.

An abandoned field, for instance, will be invaded successively by herbaceous plants (plants with little or no woody tissue), shrubs, and trees, eventually becoming a forest. Light-loving species are always among the first invaders, while shade-tolerant species appear later in the succession.

Leatherbacks do not have blubber, but they do have a reptilian equivalent: thick, oil-saturated skin, with a layer of fibrous, fatty tissue just beneath it.

And in the cells of the human body itself, in the cells of every organ, of almost every type of tissue in the body, the same thing will happen eventually.

Mineral deficiencies can often be detected by specific symptoms such as chlorosis (loss of chlorophyll resulting in yellow or white leaf tissue), necrosis (isolated dead patches), anthocyanin formation (development of deep red pigmentation of leaves or stem), stunted growth, and development of woody tissue in an herbaceous plant.

Typically, older leaves are affected first as the phosphorus is mobilized to young growing tissue.

He exposed the witness's evidence as a tissue of lies.

Have you got a tissue?

Can you get me a box of tissues?
