what is musscle tissue?

Agree with Mr. Brightside, the person before me.\n\nMuscle tissue is a group of muscle cells.\nMuscle tissue is what generally called as "meat" or "flesh".\nMuscle tissue is the most abundant tissue in the body.\nIt is composed of cells called muscle fibers.\n\n3 types of muscle tissue:\n\n1. Smooth muscle\nIt can be found in intestines, blood vessels, urinary and reproductive tracts.\n\n2. Skeletal muscle\nIt can be found in arms and legs.\n\n3. Cardiac muscle\nIt can be found in the walls of heart.\n\nSMOOTH MUSCLE\nContraction and relaxation of smooth muscles are responsible for involuntary body activities such as peristaltic movement along the digestive tract.\nSmooth muscles contract more slowly than skeletal muscles but remain contracted for a longer period of time.\n\nSKELETAL MUSCLE\nSkeletal muscles are involved in volutary movements. They contract and relax to move the bones.\n\nCARDIAC MUSCLE\nCardiac muscle contract to pump blood to all parts of the body. The contraction of cardiac muscles is involuntary.

Muntjacs (genus Muntiacus) are small deer. As with all deers, their antlers look velvety while they're growing (which occurs yearly), because they're covered with short-haired skin. When the antlers have fully grown, the velvet falls away and they are naked, with the bone exposed.

The Marfan syndrome is a heritable condition that affects the connective tissue. The primary purpose of connective tissue is to hold the body together and provide a framework for growth and development. In the Marfan syndrome, the connective tissue is defective and does not act as it should. Because connective tissue is found throughout the body, the Marfan syndrome can affect many body systems, including the skeleton, eyes, heart and blood vessels, nervous system, skin and lungs.

In zootomy, epithelium is a tissue composed of a layer of cells. Epithelium lines both the outside (skin) and the inside (e.g. intestine) of organisms. The outermost layer of our skin is composed of dead squamous epithelial cells, as are the mucous membranes lining the inside of mouths and body cavities. Other epithelial cells line the insides of the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract, the reproductive and urinary tracts, and make up the exocrine and endocrine glands.\n\nConnective tissue is any type of biological tissue with an extensive extracellular matrix and often serves to support, bind together, and protect organs. There are four basic types:\n\n    * Bone contains specialized cells called osteocytes embedded in a mineralized extracellular matrix, and functions for general support.\n    * Blood functions in transport. Its extracellular matrix is blood plasma, which transports dissolved nutrients, hormones, and carbon dioxide in the form of bicarbonate. The main cellular component is red blood cells.\n    * Cartilage makes up virtually the entire skeleton in osteichthyes. In most other vertebrates, it is found primarily in joints, where it provides cushioning. The extracellular matrix of cartilage is composed primarily of collagen.

Necrotic tissue is tissue that is "rotting", or already rotted. Not a good thing to have.

Do you mean cystic fibrosis?\n\nCystic fibrosis (CF), also called mucoviscidosis, is an autosomal, recessive, hereditary disease of the exocrine glands. It affects the lungs, sweat glands and the digestive system, causing chronic respiratory and digestive problems. It is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. It is the most common fatal autosomal recessive disease in Caucasians.

All of the above are well understood, it's just that skeletal and cardiac mucsle are more complicated, therefore there is more information on them.  Smooth muscle contraction can function solely on its intrinsic plexus, its built-in nervous system that only receives fine tuning from the para and sympathetic nervous systems.  It even has its own immune system, Peyer's Patches for example.

Mucus is made by goblet cells in the mucous membranes that cover the surfaces of the membranes. It is made up of mucins and inorganic salts suspended in water.

Hurler syndrome (MPS1) is an inherited and progressive disorder that results from the body's inability to make lysosomal alpha-L-iduronate, an enzyme that helps breakdown mucopolysaccharides. Mucopolysaccharides are made of a Jello-like material and are found throughout the body, often in mucus secretions and in fluids surrounding the joints.\n\nThe enzyme deficiency found in Hurler syndrome causes mucopolysaccharides to build up in the body.  The result is a multisystem disorder with symptoms that range from mild to severe. The disease damages many organs, including the heart.\n\nIn the past, MPS1 was called Hurler syndrome, Hurler-Scheie syndrome, or Scheie syndrome. Because there is no clear distinction between the groups, a classification based on disease severity has been suggested:\n\nHurler as severe MPS1 \nHurler-Scheie as intermediate MPS1 \nScheie as mild MPS1 \nHurler syndrome is inherited as an autosommal recessive trait. Approximately 1 in 115,000 individuals are affected.

Yes; skin is an organ.  The definition of an organ is a group of tissue that works together for a purpose and is part of a larger system.  The skin is made up of epithelial tissue and is part of the body's immune system.  After all, without it all sorts of sludge would bump into your internal organs!

it is called a tissue, now a number of tissues working together is an organ

In cell biology, stromal cells are connective tissue cells of an organ found in the loose connective tissue. These are most often associated with the uterine mucosa and the ovary as well as the haematopoietic system and elsewhere.\n\nCheck out this website for a lot of info on Multiple Myeloma: http://www.answers.com/Multiple%20Myeloma%20

"Demulcent herbs often have a high content of mucilage, and have been used to soothe and protect irritated or inflamed internal tissues of the body."\n\nCorn silk is the stuff you see in threads popping out of corn in the store - it's the stamens that collect the pollen from the corn plant's flowering part.

Car·ti·lage    \n \nA tough, elastic, fibrous connective tissue found in various parts of the body, such as the joints, outer ear, and larynx. A major constituent of the embryonic and young vertebrate skeleton, it is converted largely to bone with maturation.\n\nBone    \n\nThe dense, semirigid, porous, calcified connective tissue forming the major portion of the skeleton of most vertebrates. It consists of a dense organic matrix and an inorganic, mineral component. \n\nThe definitions do not make it entirely clear, but basics first! \n\nCartilage is flexible connective tissue, bone is rigid, inflexible, and calcified. Try bending your upper ear, easy right? That's cartilage. Bone is not flexible (Like your skull.)  \n\nYour question was cut off, did you want to know the difference between a shark skeleton and a human's? A shark skeleton is almost entirely cartilage, a man's is mostly bone, with some connective cartilage.
