Treatment includes irrigation and debridement of necrotic areas ( areas of dead and / or dying gum tissue ), oral hygiene instruction and the uses of mouth rinses and pain medication.

FFS can include includes various bony and soft tissue procedures such as brow lift, rhinoplasty, cheek implantation, and lip augmentation though the term " FFS " is generally not regarded to include facial hair removal.

Soft tissue includes tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, fibrous tissues, fat, and synovial membranes ( which are connective tissue ), and muscles, nerves and blood vessels ( which are not connective tissue ).

The order also includes some gilled mushrooms, in the families Gomphidiaceae and Paxillaceae, which often have the same flesh texture as the Boletes, spore-bearing tissue which is also easily separable from the cap, and similar microscopic characteristics of spores and cystidia.

However, it often includes any form of lung tissue, also including bronchioles, bronchi, blood vessels and lung interstitium.

Ovules are initially composed of diploid maternal tissue, which includes a megasporocyte ( a cell that will undergo meiosis to produce megaspores ).

* vegetative semiotics ( also endosemiotics, or phytosemiotics ), the study of semiosis at the cellular and molecular level ( including the translation processes related to genome and the organic form or phenotype ); vegetative semiosis occurs in all organisms at their cellular and tissue level ; vegetative semiotics includes prokaryote semiotics, sign-mediated interactions in bacteria communities such as quorum sensing and quorum quenching.

The great absorbency of this tissue and the fact that it is easier to control than a sponge makes it an ideal tool for the watercolorist.

The travel time of sound in tissue is about 1500 meters per second ; ;

It is not clear whether this system bears any resemblance to the in vivo iodinating mechanism, and a system generating peroxide has not been identified in thyroid tissue.

In the period from 10 to 14 the permanent set of teeth is usually completed, yet the continuing growth of bony tissue makes moving badly placed teeth comparatively easy.

Adipose tissue is another important means of storing energy and this occurs in the abdomen, under the skin and, in some salamanders, in the tail.

Every line of written text is a mere reflection of references from any of a multitude of traditions, or, as Barthes puts it, " the text is a tissue of quotations drawn from the innumerable centres of culture "; it is never original.

An abscess () is a collection of pus ( dead neutrophils ) that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue in which the pus resides due to an infectious process ( usually caused by bacteria or parasites ) or other foreign materials ( e. g., splinters, bullet wounds, or injecting needles ).

It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body.

For example the standard glutamic acid ( glutamate ) and the non-standard gamma-amino acid gamma-amino-butyric acid ( GABA ) are respectively the brain's main excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, hydroxyproline-a major component of the connective tissue collagen-is synthesised from proline, the standard amino acid glycine is used to synthesise porphyrins used in red blood cells, and the non-standard carnitine is used in lipid transport.

A remarkable feature of these KO mice is that they have a very restricted phenotype: Casp3, 9, APAF-1 KO mice have deformations of neural tissue and FADD and Casp 8 KO showed defective heart development, however in both types of KO other organs developed normally and some cell types were still sensitive to apoptotic stimuli suggesting that unknown proapoptotic pathways exist.

The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals — only a few invertebrates such as sponges, jellyfish, adult sea squirts and starfish do not have one, even if diffuse neural tissue is present.

Brain tissue in its natural state is too soft to work with, but it can be hardened by immersion in alcohol or other fixatives, and then sliced apart for examination of the interior.

It is also possible to examine the microstructure of brain tissue using a microscope, and to trace the pattern of connections from one brain area to another.

Living brain tissue is pinkish on the outside and mostly white on the inside, with subtle variations in color.

Within 4 – 5 days the inflammation and the concomitant dead brain tissue are surrounded with a capsule, which gives the lesion the famous ring-enhancing lesion appearance on CT examination with contrast ( since intravenously applied contrast material can not pass through the capsule, it is collected around the lesion and looks as a ring surrounding the relatively dark lesion ).
