Flesh
Flesh is the soft part of the body of a human 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
muscles can also give a notion of hardness.
