Flesh 222740 221103771 2008-06-23T01:55:19Z SchfiftyThree 556700 Rv to last good revision {{Wiktionary}} {{otheruses}} '''Flesh''' is the soft part of the body of a person or animal which is between the skin and the bones. In ordinary speech, it typically contrasts with [[bone]], as in the [[merism]] ''flesh and bone''. It mainly refers to [[skeletal muscle]] and associated [[fat]], though it includes all other internal [[soft tissue]]. The softness of a human body is generally attributed to flesh, although [[muscle]]s can also give a notion of hardness. The word "[[meat]]" is normally used instead if animal flesh is intended as food. In some instances, the term "flesh" will be used to describe the soft interior of fruits, usually the part that is eaten. {{anatomy-stub}} [[Category:Tissues]] [[de:Fleisch]] [[eo:Karno]] [[fr:Chair]] [[it:carne]] [[ln:Mosuni]]
