The fat cap often left attached to the brisket helps to keep the meat from over-drying during the prolonged cooking necessary to break down the connective tissue in the meat.

The wide range of wavelengths possible allows very close matching to the absorption lines of certain tissues, such as melanin or hemoglobin, while the narrow bandwidth obtainable helps reduce the possibility of damage to the surrounding tissue.

BRCA1 is expressed in the cells of breast and other tissue, where it helps repair damaged DNA, or destroy cells if DNA cannot be repaired.

In these animals, melanin is absent from a section of the choroid and within that section a layer of highly reflective tissue, the tapetum lucidum, helps to collect light by reflecting it in a controlled manner.

Frenulum breve, or a short frenulum, is a condition in which the frenulum preputii penis, which is an elastic band of tissue under the glans penis that connects to the prepuce ( foreskin ) and helps contract the prepuce over the glans, is short and restricts the movement of the prepuce.

The acid in the paste helps break down the connective tissue helping accelerating the formation of gelatin, as well as giving color to the stock.

A feedback loop involving erythropoietin helps regulate the process of erythropoiesis so that, in non-disease states, the production of red blood cells is equal to the destruction of red blood cells and the red blood cell number is sufficient to sustain adequate tissue oxygen levels but not so high as to cause sludging, thrombosis, or stroke.

A microscope helps the surgeon clearly view the margins of the tumor, minimizing the amount of normal tissue removed or damaged during surgery.

In 1893, he discovered the bundle of His, which is a specialized tissue in the heart that transmits the electrical impulses and helps synchronize contraction of the cardiac muscles.

Compared with the soft tissue linings of the lips and cheeks, most of the gingiva are tightly bound to the underlying bone which helps resist the friction of food passing over them.

This helps to explain why during fasting, LPL activity increases in muscle tissue and decreases in adipose tissue.

It helps in identifying increases in collagenous tissue ( i. e. fibrotic changes ) such as in liver cirrhosis and distinguishing tumours arising from muscle cells and fibroblasts.

In the basal ganglia, this can result in the death of tissue that helps to control movement.

The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor organized tissue cells to the membrane.

The iris is a sphincter formed from pigmented tissue that contracts when the eye is exposed to bright light, to protect the retina by limiting the amount of light passing through the pupil.

* Headgear: Used to protect boxers from soft tissue damage, ( bruises, cuts, etc.

Those found in the apoplast include hydrolytic enzymes such as proteases, lipases and glycosylases that act to degrade plant tissue, enzyme inhibitors to protect against host defence enzymes and necrotizing toxins.

The exposed fetal spinal cord is covered in layers with surrounding fetal tissue at mid-gestation ( 19-25 weeks ) to protect it from further damage caused by prolonged exposure to amniotic fluid.

This usually requires the addition of substances which protect the cells during freezing and thawing ( cryoprotectants ), 3 ) preservation of organs under hypothermic conditions for transplantation, 4 ) lyophilization ( freeze-drying ) of pharmaceuticals, 5 ) cryosurgery, a ( minimally ) invasive approach for the destruction of unhealthy tissue using cryogenic gases / fluids, and 6 ) physics of supercooling, ice nucleation / growth and mechanical engineering aspects of heat transfer during cooling and warming, as applied to biological systems.

Alpha 1-antitrypsin ( A1AT ) is produced in the liver, and one of its functions is to protect the lungs from neutrophil elastase, an enzyme that can disrupt connective tissue.

Contact fungicides are not taken up into the plant tissue, & only protect the plant where the spray is deposited ; translaminar fungicides redistribute the fungicide from the upper, sprayed leaf surface to the lower, unsprayed surface ; systemic fungicides are taken up & redistributed through the xylem vessels to the upper parts of the plant.

* Articular fat pads-adipose tissue pads that protect the articular cartilage, as seen in the infrapatellar fat pad in the knee

The purpose of the stratum corneum is to form a barrier to protect underlying tissue from infection, dehydration, chemicals and mechanical stress.

It is a pliable, mesh-like tissue with a fluid matrix and functions to cushion and protect body organs.

In many marine gastropods where the siphon is particularly long, the structure of the shell has been modified in order to house and protect the soft tissue of the siphon.

Most cartilage is later converted to bone, but in adulthood this tissue continues to cover and protect the ends of bones and is present in the nose and external ears.

In order to protect their skin, they rub their skin with " Beurre de Karité " ( shea butter, produced from shea nuts obtained from the Shea nut tree ), which is an emollient used to avoid tissue damage.
