Flesh
 | This article appears to be a dictionary definition. |
Flesh is the soft substance of the body of a living human or other animal. In a human or other animal body, this consists of muscle and fat; for vertebrates, this especially includes muscle tissue (skeletal muscle), as opposed to bones and viscera.[1] Animal flesh, as food, is called meat. In plants, "flesh" is the tissue of the plant, which is composed of cellulose[2] (a biomolecule that serves as the plants' cytoskeleton).
In mycology, "flesh" refers to trama, the fleshy, inner portion of a mushroom's basidiocarp, or fruit body.[3]
