Soft Tissue

Soft tissue refers to the parts of the body that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs. It includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, fat, nerves, blood vessels, and fascia. These tissues are essential for movement, flexibility, and stability of the body. Muscles help in movement by contracting and relaxing. Tendons attach muscles to bones, allowing force transfer during motion. Ligaments connect bones to each other, providing joint stability. Fat tissue cushions organs and stores energy. Blood vessels supply oxygen and nutrients to tissues while removing waste. Nerves transmit signals between the brain and body parts for coordination. Overall, soft tissues play a vital role in protecting organs and maintaining the body’s structure and function.
